when using the texpath command in Asymptote, I only get an empty path array. I'm using a miktex installation on a Windows 8 machine, ghostscript is installed. (I also have a TeX Live installation on a Linux machine where this works fine).

edit: Here's a simple example, where this problem shows up:

draw(texpath("Hello, World!"));
label(string(texpath("Hello, World!").length), (0,0));

The resulting pdf-file (and also the resulting eps-file) shows a single 0.

edit 2: I'm using ghostscript version 9.16 (32bit, but the same problem occurs with the 64-bit version).

  • Could you give us an example of a problematic program using this module?

    Please specify ghostscript version. I think texpath uses ghostscript (or pstricks) so the odd behavior is related to the bug (asy uses a deprecated gs driver). The bug is solved in the svn version (see asy svn page). There are also another messages here about it.

  • See tex.stackexchange.com/questions/239370/… and the link. So you have to wait the new compiled version or downgrade ghostscript (under windows).

  • @O.G.: Downgrading ghostscript worked for me---thanks a lot! Please turn your comment into an answer, so that I can accept it.

Hy

A new version of Asymptote, v2.33, was released today. From the update

A work around was implemented for the missing epswrite driver in ghostscript-9.15.

So it seems that you can use Ghostscript >=9.15 and Asymptote 2.33

Old message : See Building with asymptote: file-2.tex not found, null surface and also Labels in 3D mode don't work in Asymptote. So you have to wait the new compiled version or downgrade ghostscript (under windows).
