diagrams-cairo: Cairo backend for diagrams drawing EDSL
A full-featured backend for rendering diagrams using the cairo rendering engine.
Diagrams.Backend.Cairo.CmdLine - if you're just getting started with diagrams, begin here.
Diagrams.Backend.Cairo - look at this next. The general API for the cairo backend.
Diagrams.Backend.Cairo.Internal - the implementation guts of the cairo backend. Users should normally not need to import this module.
Diagrams.Backend.Cairo.Text - cairo-specific text support, including automatic bounding boxes.
Diagrams.Backend.Cairo.List - render diagrams to two-dimensional lists of colors (i.e. pixels).
Diagrams.Backend.Cairo.Ptr - render diagrams to buffers in memory.

Readme for diagrams-cairo-0.7
[back to package description]
diagrams-cairo is a rendering backend for diagrams, a powerful, flexible, declarative domain-specific language for creating vector graphics, using the Haskell programming language.
diagrams-cairo is implemented using the cairo rendering engine and is a fully-featured, officially supported backend for diagrams.
Installation
cabal update && cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools diagrams-cairo
Basic usage
A simple example that uses diagrams-cairo to draw a blue circle:
import Diagrams.Prelude
import Diagrams.Backend.Cairo.CmdLine
d = circle 1 # fc blue
main = defaultMain (pad 1.1 d)
Save this to file named Circle.hs and compile it:
ghc --make Circle.hs
This will generate an executable which, when run, outputs a blue
circle to some file. Run the executable with the --help option to
find out more about how to call it.
$ ./Circle --help
Command-line diagram generation.
Circle [OPTIONS]
Common flags:
-w --width=INT Desired width of the output image
-h --height=INT Desired height of the output image
-o --output=FILE Output file
-? --help Display help message
-V --version Print version information
The output type will be automatically determined from the file extension. Currently PNG, PDF, PS, and SVG are supported.
$ ./Circle -o circle.png -w 400
The command above generates a PNG file with a width of 400px.
Advanced usage
Instead of just creating a standalone executable, the cairo backend can also be called from within a larger program. For more information, see the Diagram.Backend.Cairo module.
