I'd also mention Metapost, on which I believe TikZ was modeled (at least to some extent). Since you mentioned embedding in LaTeX, I'd also suggest TikZ; it has a huge manual, but /very/ well written, with quite a few tutorials and examples. One benefit is that it is tightly integrated into LaTeX, but it can also export SVG (though with a few limitations compared to the pdfLaTeX-produced output). Also, you might want to check out the gallery of TikZ examples here: http://www.texample.net/tikz/ . > Good luck! > John Best, --=20 Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University
