How to understand main packages of Asymptote without its document except for geometry.asy
I am a new user with Asymptote. I used TikZ before and because of personal reasons I start with Asymptote. However, when using Asymptote, I realized that there is no documentation for every package with the extension .asy except for geometry.asy with its manual in http://www.piprime.fr/files/res/geometry_en.pdf .
Several websites I know such as
http://asy.marris.fr/asymptote/index.html , https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Asymptote:_Advanced , http://www.piprime.fr/asymptote/ , http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/index.html ,
and several documentations as
http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/asymptote.pdf , http://math.uchicago.edu/~cstaats/Charles_Staats_III/Notes_and_papers_files/asymptote_tutorial.pdf , http://cgmaths.fr/cgFiles/Dem_Rapide.pdf , ASY_3D.pdf
But I don't have any documentations for many main packages of Asymptote.
So, my question is How to understand main packages of Asymptote without its documentation except for geometry.asy.

@O.G. Unlike TikZ, PSTricks every package have a its documentation. Asymptote has only packages, examples, main documentation which TikZ and PSTricks have also. According to you say, " By studying examples, asymptote questions and by using StackExchange ! " TikZ and PSTricks are very much!!!

In support of @O.G. I would like to add that you can indeed learn a lot by his answers and the ones by other top asymptote users like k.gov and Charles Staats. Sure, a manual would be even better, and it might well be that the fact that the information is a bit scattered is the reason that asymptote is not as popular on this site as it should be.
