2D Graphics, Animation
Animation : is a sequence of frames that, when played in order at sufficient speed, presents a smoothly moving image like a film or video. An animation can be digitized video, computer-generated graphics, or a combination.
From : www.d3magazine.com/glossary Vector Graphics are graphics described by a set of mathematical instructions instead of as a series of discrete bits. They are typically line art illustrations. Graphics programs such as Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw create vector-based graphics. Vector graphics are easily scaled or redrawn for different display devices without loss of quality.
From : www.marketwriter.net/terms.htm Raster graphics is the display of graphic images using a collection of small, separate dots called a bit map. The graphic's resolution is limited by the capabilities of the display or printing device. Synonymous with bit-mapped graphic. Adobe Photoshop is a popular image editor that rasterizes images that it opens.

Asymptote
Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language that provides a natural coordinate-based framework for technical drawing. Labels and equations are typeset with LaTeX, for high-quality PostScript output.
A major advantage of Asymptote over other graphics packages is that it is a programming language, as opposed to just a graphics program.
Features of Asymptote:
provides a portable standard for typesetting mathematical figures, just as TeX/LaTeX has become the standard for typesetting equations.
inspired by MetaPost, with a much cleaner, powerful C++-like programming syntax and floating-point numerics;
runs on all major platforms (UNIX, MacOS, Microsoft Windows);
mathematically oriented (e.g. rotation of vectors by complex multiplication);
LaTeX typesetting of labels (for document consistency);
uses simplex method and deferred drawing to solve overall size constraint issues between fixed-sized objects (labels and arrowheads) and objects that should scale with figure size;
fully generalizes MetaPost path construction algorithms to three dimensions;
compiles commands into virtual machine code for speed without sacrificing portability;
high-level graphics commands are implemented in the Asymptote language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
