Amen to that. Do tell if you turn up anything worthwhile! I could grumble about current offerings until the cows come home; but a more constructive activity might be a wish-list ... WFL On 6/25/16, James Propp <jamespropp@gmail.com> wrote:
I'll be attending an ICERM workshop on "Illustrating Mathematics" next week (https://icerm.brown.edu/topical_workshops/tw16-1-im/), though I'm not sure its aims match my needs. In writing articles and essays I spend a lot of not-very-enjoyable time handcrafting illustrations using tikz when I'd rather be using something more interactive and wysiwyg.
(Anyone remember a drafting program from the 1980s called idraw, not to be confused with a newer and more famous program by that name? I still miss it.)
Sometimes I use pictex, or Mathematica, but it's always a chore.
Do any of you use mathematical drawing software that you actually find fun?
