Is this project still maintained?

Hi, is this project still maintained? Recently Asymptote can output html file using WebGL, which can show nice 3D graphics in modern browsers. I'm curious if this feature can be added to AsyPlots, since old 3D functions seem not working.

I still use it, yes. I just pushed an update if you want to check out master and see if the 3D graphs work for you. It works fine on my machine.

I noticed the news about Asymptote's support for WebGL as well. You can use this package for that. It can output an asy file instead of a PDF (just use the .asy extension when you save the file). You can then obtain a WebGL 3D version from the asy file in the usual way.

Great! Both Asymptote and Julia are great tools. I'm glad to see you make a bridge between them!

[sswatson]

Yes, I'm very glad to have it available. I was into it more when I first wrote it, but these days I'm focusing more on tools that emphasize interactivity (like JSXGraph), which Asymptote is not really built for. Still, there's nothing I like as much Asymptote for really sharp looking static figures (particularly 3D!).

JSXGraph looks cool. I don't even know this library. Thanks! I agree that Asymptote is not for interactivity. It's built for the quality of static figures. I think its 3D picture quality is amazing, maybe close to commercial software. For interactivity, with Pluto we can achieve it to some extent. I'm curious how well AsyPlots is integrated with Pluto, which is a really nice notebook. If I could, I would like to make Asymptote integrated more with Julia. It's really a nice tool for technical plotting, but somehow not very popular. TikZ is much more popular, but I really don't like it. IMO, the only thing TikZ wins is its integration with LaTeX. So I really appreciate you made this package.
