[Haskell-cafe] ANN: SVGFonts 0.1
I hereby publish my first library in Haskell. SVGFonts 0.1 It parses the pretty unknown SVG Font format to produce outlines of characters. The big advantage of this format is that it is XML, which means easy parsing and manipulating. Because I haven't found any svg-files on the Internet the typical way is to convert a more popular format (i.e. .ttf) into SVG Font via fontforge. This library may be useful if you want to have a direct access to specific algorithms which is of course harder when using a binding (i.e. Jeff Heards FTGL binding). The speed is improvable (see TO DO list) and since since this is my first library there might some errors which I am not aware of (please tell me). I also wonder why the library doesn't appear under graphics on hackage, although there is Category: Graphics in my cabal file. Depending on which library I like more, I will maybe integrate SVGFonts into LambdaCube or Fieldtrip Cheers, Tillmann ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANN: SVGFonts 0.1
This sounds very cool. Is is just a program, or is there a library sitting behind it? From your .cabal file, it seems to be just a binary program. Is this correct? http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/SVGFonts/0.1/SVGFonts.cabal On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 1:22 PM, Tillmann Vogt tillmann.v...@rwth-aachen.dewrote: I hereby publish my first library in Haskell.

The issue is not about whether it is pure Haskell. You have simply marked it up as an executable rather than a library.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANN: SVGFonts 0.1
What your cabal file describes is a single executable, Executable Fonts main-is: tests/Fonts.hs This just tells us to build the file tests/Fonts.hs into a single executable named 'Fonts'. You probably want to retructure your project a bit into something like this. ./LICENSE ./README ./Setup.hs ./src ./src/SVGFonts ./src/SVGFonts/KETTriangulation.hs ./src/SVGFonts/PointOfView.hs ./src/SVGFonts/ReadFont.hs ./SVGFonts.cabal ./test ./test/Fonts.hs ./test/GirlsareWeird.svg ./test/LinLibertineO.svg ./test/Scriptin.svg ./TODO Here's what your cabal file should probably look like: Name: SVGFonts Version: 0.1 Description: parse svg-font files and generate outlines of letters and sentences License: GPL License-file: LICENSE Author: Tillmann Vogt Maintainer: tillmann.v...@rwth-aachen.de Build-Type: Simple Cabal-Version:=1.2 library build-depends: haskell98, base, OpenGL, GLUT, xml, parsec exposed-modules: SVGFonts.KETTriangulation SVGFonts.PointOfView SVGFonts.ReadFont That isn't exact, but it should be close. /jve On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 1:32 PM, Tillmann Vogt tillmann.v...@rwth-aachen.dewrote: John Van Enk schrieb: This sounds very cool.
