Hi all, given two Vector and a list of strings, I generate a plot of one vector as a function of the other [1]. At each x,y point, I am trying to place the corresponding string. For the purpose, I zip3 all three sequences, define an annotation function, and invoke it with mapM_ in the context of withAnnotations [2]: withPlot (1, 1) $ do ... let annotation (x, y, label) = text (x + 2, y) (setText label) in withAnnotations $ do mapM_ annotation $ zip3 (toList vx) (toList vy) labels The code above compiles and runs, the plot shows, but no text annotations appear at all. I understand that I am not using the Annote monad correctly: the mapM_ drops every returned value, so the state is not altered. What is the correct way to invoke withAnnotations over a list of (x, y, String) ? Needless to say, I am a beginner in Haskell. Apologies if the above is too trivial. Thanks very much in advance.
