  Description     : create mathematically accurate graphics with a C++-like syntax

ePiX (pronounced like "epic" with a soft "k", cf. "TeX") is a collection
of batch-oriented utilities for *nix, creates mathematically accurate
line figures, plots, and movies using easy-to-learn syntax. LaTeX and
dvips comprise the typographical rendering engine, while ImageMagick
is used to create bitmapped images and animations.  The user interface
resembles that of LaTeX: You prepare a short scene description in a
text editor, then "compile" the input file into a picture. Default
output formats are eepic (a plain text enhancement to the LaTeX
picture environment), eps, pdf, png, and mng.
