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.
