Chlor is a highlevel Haskell vector graphics framework for non-interactive diagrams and charts.
Chlor tries to enable you to get things done:
- Chlor is trivial to install.
- Many Haskell graphic libraries depend on bindings to non-Haskell libraries (like Cairo/Gtk, GD, OpenGL, etc.) which can be more or less troublesome to install on your system. Chlor avoids this trouble by being a pure Haskell framework.
- Chlor provides a rich repository of reusable highlevel components.
- Chlor can generate graphics in essential file formats (PDF, SVG, EPS, etc).
- Chlor very likely well only be a small cog in your workstream. It tries to step out of your way by providing import and export facilities for open formats - for your pre- and post-processing needs.
Chlor is currently available from the code repository only.
Features
Chlor uses a top-down graphics model. You define a box and what objects to create within this box. These objects themselves can decide what to draw within their respective boxes, and so on.
