Just a (hopefully final) remark about this, because the above statement seems to imply something that is not completely true: 3 of the 4 packages I've mentioned, i.e. OpenGL (rendering) and OpenAL/ALUT (sound) do not compete in any way with the GUI packages mentioned above, they can be happily used with those. And regarding the 4th package (GLUT): It very much depends on which book you read first, lots of OpenGL books use GLUT as their GUI toolkit and do this for a very good reason (reproducibility, widespread availibility, ease of use for simple up to medium-sized programs etc.). For a larger application other GUI toolkits are probably a better choice, and all of the serious ones offer an OpenGL canvas to render on, anyway. I just had to reply because lots of people seem to confuse GUI issues with rendering issues, which are two completely different beasts, and this might lead to various preconceptions. > The data generation is now bundled with Haddock, and as far as I know, > will be in the next release. [...] That's good to hear. I really have to take a closer look at the current state of the former fptools projects, but my job and the switch to darcs got in the way... Thanks for a really nice tool, S. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
