Well, they have very different goals, I think. Certainly there are some things you can do with HPDF that you can do with diagrams as well, but diagrams will never have all the PDF-specific features that HPDF has. If you want to make a diagram, illustration, logo, or something of that sort, and it's convenient to have it in PDF format, use diagrams. If you actually want to create a PDF document, with text layout, multiple pages, hyperlinks, annotations, etc., use HPDF; diagrams will never have those features. -Brent _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
