diagrams-wx

A rendering backend for drawing diagrams in wxWidgets (using wxHaskell), built on top of the diagrams-cairo backend.

Documentation

See the Haddock page for the Diagrams.Backend.WX module.

Building

Everything necessary to build wxHaskell and diagrams-cairo is necessary to build diagrams-wx. Please see their respective documentation.

On Ubuntu, the setup instructions for these packages can be condensed down to the following:

1. Install required external libraries:

   sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev libwxgtk-media3.0-dev libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev
   

2. Ensure happy and alex are installed:

   # for Cabal
   cabal install happy
   cabal install alex
   # for stack
   stack install happy
   stack install alex
   

3. Ensure gtk2hs-buildtools is installed:

   # for Cabal
   cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools
   # for stack
   stack install gtk2hs-buildtools
   

Once all dependencies are set up, the diagrams-wx package can be built in the usual way, via cabal build or stack build depending on your setup.

Demo

A simple demo is available in the demo/ directory. It can be built and run as follows:

# for Cabal
cabal configure -fbuildExample
cabal build
cabal run diagrams-wx-demo
# for stack
stack build --flag diagrams-wx:buildExample
stack exec diagrams-wx-demo
