Well, there are many ways to skin the cat(fish). What you describe goes right down the alley of GeoGebra. However i'm not exactly sure this is your usecase.

If it was me then I would write this in PostScript or EPS, since its by far easiest to write out for me. You can use Illustrator, Imagemagic, GhostScript or even the printer to render the results.

I'm no means an expert, but I think you can achieve these with scripting in Illustrator. 'Scripting' is the word you are looking for and multiple software has options to be scripted. Illustrator is one of them.
