A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: sketch Author's name: Eugene K. Ressler Location on CTAN: /graphics/sketch Summary description: 3d sketching in a PSTricks-like language generates PSTricks code License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sketch is a small, simple system for producing line drawings of three-dimensional objects and scenes. It began as a way to make illustrations for a textbook after we could find no suitable tool for this purpose. Existing scene processors emphasized GUIs and/or photo-realism, both un-useful to us. We wanted to produce finely wrought, mathematically-based illustrations with no extraneous detail and be able to easily overlay TeX math and text. The input language is reminiscent of PSTricks, so will be easy to learn for current PSTricks users. See http://www.frontiernet.net/~eugene.ressler . - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/sketch although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

sketch – A 3d sketch language translator

Sketch is a small, simple system for producing line drawings of two- or three-dimensional objects and scenes. It began as a way to make illustrations for a textbook after we could find no suitable tool for this purpose. Existing scene processors emphasized GUIs and/or photo-realism, neither of which was useful to us. We wanted to produce finely wrought, mathematically-based illustrations with no extraneous detail.

The input language is reminiscent of PSTricks, so will be easy for current PSTricks users to learn; output is for use either by pstricks itself, or by pgf.
