Re: [Haskell-cafe] Cairo and Haskell
Hello Paulo, I guess that would be using Cairo so I can have a 2d canvas to draw in and maybe even preview before exporting to PDF. However, I can't find any documentation on Cairo with Haskell or any code examples related to what I want to do. With regard to export to pdf and other formats this might be useful: http://muitovar.com/gtk2hs/app1.html (There's a Spanish translation too.) However, this tutorial is a few years old now, and I don't know if it's still up to date for the later Gtk2Hs versions. Best Regards, Hans van Thiel ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
[Haskell-cafe] Cairo and Haskell
Hi, I would like to use Haskell to generate automatically a poster. I guess that would be using Cairo so I can have a 2d canvas to draw in and maybe even preview before exporting to PDF. However, I can't find any documentation on Cairo with Haskell or any code examples related to what I want to do. Any suggestions?

Have a look at http://hackage.haskell.org/package/diagrams and http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Hieroglyph On Fri, Apr 15, 2011 at 2:54 PM, Paulo J.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Cairo and Haskell
Haskell has Cairo bindings as part of gtk2hs. The package on Hackage is called 'cairo'. You can certainly preview on the screen, but I'm less sure about exporting to PDF, since the bindings were intended for GUI programming. At least PNG output is possible, though; PDF may be, as well. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cairo ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

To answer my own email, yes, PDF support is there. On Apr 15, 2011 8:17 AM, Chris Smith cdsm...@gmail.com wrote: Haskell has Cairo bindings as part of gtk2hs.

You can also take a look at the demo programs in the cairo package: bash $ mkdir /tmp/uncabal cd /tmp/uncabal bash $ cabal unpack cairo bash $ cd /tmp/uncabal/cairo-*/demo bash $ runghc StarAndRing.hs The gtk2hs bindings are generaly pretty dumb and just mimic the original C behaviour. So the best source of documentation is the original cairo website: http://cairographics.org/documentation/ regards, /john ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Thanks I will take a look at those. On 15/04/11 15:12, Robert Wills wrote: Have a look at http://hackage.haskell.org/package/diagrams and http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Hieroglyph ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
