Readme for rainbox-0.4.0.0
[back to package description]Rainbox
Provides pretty printing of boxes in two dimensions. Rainbox is useful for console programs that need to format tabular data.
Documentation
In addition to the Haddock documentation, a tutorial is available in the Rainbox.Tutorial module. This module is best read in your text editor or through the Github web interface, as it is written in literate Haskell, which HsColour does not fare so well with.
Portability
There's nothing unportable in Rainbox; however, it does use Rainbow which works only on UNIX-like systems because it uses the UNIX terminfo library. I only develop for UNIX-like systems because they are the only ones I use.
Tests
You can simply use "cabal test". However, I recommend that you do:
cabal configure --enable-tests
cabal build
dist/build/rainbox-test/rainbox-test
dist/build/rainbox-visual/rainbox-visual
The last test, rainbox-visual, relies on you to examine the output
and make sure it looks correct.
Tests are also run on Travis:
and although you can see the output of rainbox-visual there, it's
not formatted quite right on Travis.
At this time, Rainbox is verified to work with GHC versions 7.4.1, 7.6.3, and 7.8.2.
