Isn't it a good idea to have such a local discussion club, similarly to this and this? Boris (talk) 17:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- I try and keep a log of different projects. For the last week I've been orbiting the oldest pages and marking them as dire/needing-references/poor-quality, so forth, it is predominantly just me or someone I'm often emailing or talking to so there hasn't been a point.

- I had noticed they had an asymptote module installed. I'm looking into this. I think it's really important that when one zooms detail isn't lost (so the content looks sharp even on high resolution displays) and I'm looking into options. I've written an SVG plotting library and I plan to merge it with this, to use it for graphs and diagrams. I don't want to re-invent the wheel. That second link (the knot) looks amazing though.
- Okay, I've looked at asymptote, it requires libMesa and some other stuff. This can go three ways:
- I do nothing - I let people upload images they've made with Asymptote and ask them to provide source on the file page.
- I manage to get Asymptote working through PHP by writing an add-on. I really don't want to do this, I hate PHP and getting it to play nicely with other processes is difficult. It'd also be very heavy on the server.
- I use LibSR to do 3d rendering (my software renderer) however it doesn't anti-alias and is far from production quality, it'd also be heavy on the server's CPU.
- I will keep investigating this. I didn't know about Asymptote, so thank you for that Alec (talk) 00:29, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
