wumpus-basic

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 Removed the Basic.Geometry modules, they are superseded in Wumpus-Drawing.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 Removed module Geometry.Paths it is superseded in Wumpus-Drawing.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.
