Chlor is a highlevel Haskell vector graphics framework for non-interactive diagrams and charts. It has the following properties:
- pure-Haskell code
- reusable highlevel components
- support for file formats like PDF, SVG, EPS, etc.
Features
Boxes
You define a box by
- dimension: width and height
- anchor: a coordinate and an origin (to define which part of the box this coordinate is relative to)
- alignment: you can define how to align content within the box (left, right, top, bottom, center)
Shapes
Shapes are defined within boxes.
