@hackage wumpus-basic0.24.0

Kernel code for higher-level drawing built on Wumpus-Core. This package provides font loader code (currently limited to AFM font files) and a various drawing objects intended to be a higher-level basis to make vector drawings than the primitives (paths, text labels) provided by Wumpus-Core.

** WARNING ** - this package is alpha grade and it is strongly coupled to the package Wumpus-Drawing which is sub-alpha grade. The packages are split as it is expected they will have different development speeds - Wumpus-Basic needs polishing and refinement; Wumpus-Drawing simply needs a lot of work to move its components from proof-of-concept ideas to being readily usable.

NOTE - the demos that were previously included are now in the package Wumpus-Drawing.

Changelog:

v0.23.0 to v0.24.0:

• Changes to type funs to work with GHC 7.4.

• Removed FormatCombinators module.

v0.22.0 to v0.23.0:

• Re-worked the Chain module and API.

• Replaced ZDeco enumeration with ZOrder.

• Removed the Basic.Geometry modules, they are superseded in Wumpus-Drawing. Some of the equivalent functionality is now internal to the respective modules in Wumpus-Drawing - Wumpus has scaled back the amount of geometric types and operations it wants to expose.

• Renamed the PlacedTrail object to AnaTrail - the prefix vector is considered an anacrusis. Tidied up the API of the Trail module.

• Moved bezierArcPoints and BezierMinorArc from Basic.Geometry and marked the Basic.Geometry code as obsolute.

v0.21.0 to v0.22.0:

• Reverted argument order of run functions they back to the monadLib style (args * monadic_operation) rather than MTL style (monadic_operation * args). Typographically this seems better.

• Removed module Geometry.Paths it is superseded in Wumpus-Drawing.

• Added user state to PosObject and moved it into Kernel.Drawing.

• Changed the enumeration DrawStyle to DrawMode. Added another enumeration PathMode.

• Changed Chain so that first item in the chain is the start point (previously the start point was iterated by the chain).

• Removed ConnectorProps from the DrawingContext , they are now used "locally" in Wumpus-Drawing.

• Added more vector constructors to Kernel.Objects.Displacement.

• Added extra methods to the Decorate class for annotating SVG elements.

v0.20.0 to v0.21.0:

• The code from the Kernel.Base.UserState module has been moved to the module Kernel.Drawing.Basis.

• Moved Image and Query from Objects.Basis to new module Objects.Image. Moved Chain, CtxPicture and TraceDrawing into the new Drawing folder.

• Added Wumpus.Basic.Kernel.Drawing.LocDrawing module.

• Rationalized the combinators exported by the drawing objects Image, LocImage, LocThetaImage and Connector.
