1 Reorganizations to diagrams-core
- The modules in diagrams-core have all been renamed to be more consistent with the module naming scheme in the rest of the diagrams universe. For most users this should make no different, unless you are affected by diagrams-core#17 and have explicitly imported
Graphics.Rendering.Diagrams.Points. In particular:-
Graphics.Rendering.Diagrams --> Diagrams.Core -
Grahpics.Rendering.Diagrams.Core --> Diagrams.Core.Types -
Graphics.Rendering.Diagrams.* --> Diagrams.Core.*
-
2 Subdiagrams
TODO: write me
Proper support for subdiagrams: previous versions of diagrams-core had a mechanism for associating names with a pair of a location and an envelope. Now, names are associated with actual subdiagrams (including their location and envelope, along with all the other information stored by a diagram).
3 Other diagrams-core API changes
TODO: write me
- 'Graphics.Rendering.Diagrams.UDTree' has been split out into a
separate 'dual-tree' package (which has also been substantially
rewritten).
- 'Graphics.Rendering.Diagrams.{Monoids,MList}' have been split
out into a separate 'monoid-extras' package.
- The 'names' function now returns a list of names and their
associated locations, instead of the associated subdiagrams. In
particular the output is suitable to be rendered to a String
using 'show'.
- The new 'subMap' function fills a similar role that 'names' used
to play, returning the entire mapping from names to subdiagrams.
- 'juxtaposeDefault' is now the identity on the second object if
either one has an empty envelope. In particular this means that
'mempty' is now an identity element for 'beside' and friends.
4 StyleParam deleted from Diagrams.Backend.Cairo.Text
The StyleParam type has been removed from Diagrams.Backend.Cairo.Text. Functions that used to take a StyleParam argument now take a Style R2 parameter, determining the style to apply to the text before rendering/querying information about the text. These parameters can be created a variety of ways, but the most direct will likely be by applying style-transforming functions such as font, fontSize, fontSlant, and fontWeight to mempty. This works because there are instances of HasStyle and Monoid for Style v.
