diagrams-svg is a an SVG backend for diagrams. Diagrams is a powerful, flexible, declarative domain-specific language for creating vector graphics, using the Haskell programming language.
diagrams-svg is the default out-of-the box backend that comes with the diagrams framework, and supports most features defined in diagrams-lib.
Installation
cabal update && cabal install diagrams-svg
Usage
A simple example that uses diagrams-svg to draw a square.
import Diagrams.Prelude
import Diagrams.Backend.SVG.CmdLine
b1 = square 20 # lw 0.002
main = mainWith (pad 1.1 b1)
Save this to file named Square.hs and compile this program:
ghc --make Square.hs
This will generate an executable which, when run produces an SVG file. Run the
executable with the --help option to find out more about how to call it.
$ ./Square --help
./Square
Usage: ./Square [-w|--width WIDTH] [-h|--height HEIGHT] [-o|--output OUTPUT] [--loop] [-s|--src ARG] [-i|--interval INTERVAL]
Command-line diagram generation.
Available options:
-?,--help Show this help text
-w,--width WIDTH Desired WIDTH of the output image
-h,--height HEIGHT Desired HEIGHT of the output image
-o,--output OUTPUT OUTPUT file
-l,--loop Run in a self-recompiling loop
-s,--src ARG Source file to watch
-i,--interval INTERVAL When running in a loop, check for changes every INTERVAL seconds.
You must pass an output file name with a .svg extension to generate the SVG
file.
$ ./Square -o square.svg
The command above generates the SVG file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
