diagrams is a full-featured framework and domain-specific langauge (embedded in Haskell) for creating declarative vector graphics and animations.
This package is just a convenient wrapper around the
diagrams-core, diagrams-lib, and diagrams-contrib packages, so
they can be installed with a single cabal install diagrams
command.
The package also comes with flags to enable two different backends.
The native SVG backend is
enabled by the -fsvg
flag and is enabled by default. If you don't
want it, you must explicitly disable it with -f-svg
.
The cairo/gtk backend is
disabled by default but can be selected with the -fcairo
flag.
cabal update && cabal install diagrams
or, to get the cairo backend in addition to the SVG backend
cabal update && cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools && cabal install -fcairo diagrams
Issue trackers for all diagrams-related repositories are hosted under the diagrams organization on github. If you know the specific package containing the bug, report it in the issue tracker specific to that package (for example, diagrams-lib). Otherwise, just report the issue in the issue tracker for the general diagrams repository.
For more information, including a gallery of examples, tutorial, and
user manual, see the
diagrams website. For help,
join the #diagrams
IRC channel on Freenode or the
