Indeed, diagrams is not very well suited for drawing pixel arrays. Have you looked at gloss [1] and gloss-raster [2] ? IIRC gloss-raster has some impressive examples rendering real-time pixel-array based animations. It's built on top of opengl but lets you work at a higher level. It sounds like it might be perfect for what you want. -Brent [1] http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gloss [2] http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gloss-raster _______________________________________________ haskell-art mailing list haskell-art@lurk.org http://lists.lurk.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-art
