| − | '''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). |
||
| − | :: Very likely, Chlor well only be a small cog in your workstream. To simplify your pre- and post-processing, Chlor provides import and export facilities in open file formats. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Chlor is currently available from the [http://chlor.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/chlor/trunk/haskell/ code repository] only. |

| − | 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. |

| − | === Boxes === |
||
| − | You define a box by |
||
| − | * ''dimension'': width and height |
||
| − | * ''anchor'': a coordinate and an ''origin'' (which part this coordinate is relative to) |
||
| − | * ''alignment'': you can define how to align content within the box (left, right, top, bottom, center) |
