Input/Output

Many Haskell graphic libraries are tied to a specific rendering backend (Cairo, OpenGL, libGD etc) which makes collaboration and reuse of code and data structures very hard or impossible.

Also some dependencies are hard to fulfill. Cairo is very difficult to install on Mac OS 10.6. If you just need to generate PDF diagrams, you could choose the pure HPDF library where e.g. Hieroglyph can not be installed because of its Cairo dependence.

Output

  • interactive drawing via Cairo
  • PDF export via pure HPDF
  • EPS export
  • SWF export
  • LaTeX export
  • exotic backends

Input

  • pure Haskell PNG import via pngload
  • pure Haskell SVG import
