+ ePiX creates mathematically accurate figures, plots, and
+ movies using easy-to-learn syntax. The output is expressly suitable
+ for use with LaTeX; figures may be written in a LaTeX picture
+ environment containing PSTricks, tikz, or eepic macros, or as vector
+ (EPS or PDF) image files. The user interface resembles that of
+ LaTeX: You prepare a human-readable scene description in a text
+ editor, then compile the input file into a picture.
+ use ePiX, however.
