I recently received the PiCTeX manual and disk from AMS, and am very
impressed... but it's not quite what I wanted.
What I was hoping for was something like the 'pic' preprocessor that
plays with eqn, tbl, and troff: A simple object-oriented language
for drawing pictures with LaTeX.
Is there anything like that out there?
