[ bsd3, graphics, library, program ] [ Propose Tags ] [ Report a vulnerability ]

A new Frame data type for Gloss that simplifies drawing vector graphics with relative sizes and flexible layouts -- no more hardcoding distances. Bonus: graphics automatically resize when the screen changes, and native mouse hover events over defined screen regions.

[back to package description]

Gloss Relative

This library is an extension to Gloss to reduce some of the pain of designing graphics with sizes relative to the screen dimensions.

Usage

This package is defined as a replacement with batteries for the standard:

import Graphics.Gloss

Just replace with the new import to get the original Gloss functionality plus the 'Frame' abstraction.

import Graphics.Gloss.Relative

Examples

You can play with a few examples that illustrate how the library can be used:

cabal run gloss-relative-checkers
cabal run gloss-relative-button
