synopsis: Pure Haskell PostScript and SVG generation.
description:
.
Wumpus is a low-level library for generating static 2D vector
pictures, its salient feature is portability due to no FFI
dependencies. It can generate PostScript (EPS) files and SVG
files. The generated PostScript code is plain [1] and reasonably
efficient as the use of stack operations, i.e @gsave@ and
@grestore@, is minimized.
.
Pictures in Wumpus are made from /paths/ and text /labels/.
Paths themselves are made from points. The usual affine
transformations (rotations, scaling, translations) can be
applied to Pictures. Unlike PostScript there is no
notion of a current point, Wumpus builds pictures in a
coordinate-free style.
.
GENERAL DRAWBACKS...
.
For actually drawing pictures, diagrams, etc. Wumpus is very
low level. There is a supplemantary package @wumpus-basic@
available that helps create certain types of diagram, but it is
experimental - functionality is added and dropped between
releases.
.
Some of the design decisions made for Wumpus-core are not
sophisticated (e.g. how attributes like colour are handled,
and how the bounding boxes of text labels are calculated), so
Wumpus might be limited compared to other systems. However,
the design permits a fairly simple implementation, which is a
priority.
.
.
\[1\] Because the output is simple, straight-line PostScript
code, it is possible to use GraphicsMagick or a similar tool
to convert EPS files generated by Wumpus to many other formats
(bitmaps).
.
Changelog:
.
0.32.0 to 0.33.0:
.
* Major change - reworked support for text encoding. Encoding
maps are now linked with fonts - it was spotted that the
Symbol font does not use the Latin1 names. The @TextEncoder@
data type has been changed and there is a new @FontEncoder@
data type. There are also new modules for the Symbol Font
encoder table and for the /Default Encoder/ which
accommodates both Latin1 and the Symbol font. This has also
mandated changes to the @FontFace@ data type.
.
* Major change - the printing order has been changed. The first
element in a @frame@ of Prims is draw first. This means it
appears first in the output file (this makes sense) - it also
means it is at the back in the Z-Order. This latter point
might not be so intuitive, but changing the printing order at
least makes Wumpus-Core match SVG and PostScript.
.
* Changed the visiblity of the new colours (yellow, cyan,
magenta) to be hidden at the top level. They can be exposed
by importing @Wumpus.Core.Colour@.
.
* @Wumpus.Core.FontSize@ - added @spacerWidth@ function.
