I believe the way is done in hint is something like this (untested): showType t = do -- Unqualify necessary types -- (i.e., do not expose internals) unqual <- GHC.getPrintUnqual return $ GHC.showSDocForUser unqual (GHC.pprTypeForUser False t) -- False means 'drop explicit foralls' Hope that helps Daniel On Jul 4, 2010, at 8:36 AM, Phyx wrote:
I was wondering how given a Type I can get a pretty printed type out of it.
I’m currently using showSDocUnqual . pprType . snd . tidyOpenType emptyTidyEnv But this has the problem that predicates don’t get printed, anyone know how GHCi does this?
