Graphics.X11 was never really a complete set of bindings, just what people needed at the time. The Extras stuff in there was driven by xmonad development, for example (and named so because originally it was a separate library before it got folded in, so the module names were difficult to change while maintaining compatibility). Dealing with structs in the FFI is painful enough that I can easily imagine someone saying we don't need those, let someone else figure it out --- which you have done.

[Haskell-cafe] Loading bitmap with xlib
I am trying to load a bitmap and display it with the Xlib bindings, but I wasn't able to find a way. The C Xlib functions would be XReadBitmapFile() of XReadBitmapFileData() to read the data, but it seems that those functions haven't been included in the haskell bindings. From http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/X11/latest/doc/html/src/Graphics-X11-Xlib-Misc.html: -- XCreateBitmapFromData omitted (awkward looking type) -- XReadBitmapFileData omitted (awkward looking type) Does anybody know how to do that? ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
