I have no doubt that diagrams can make the diagrams themselves. What I wonder about is the animation capabilities---ability to have elements move or cross-fade (dissolve), in particular.
I very recently created this animation with diagrams, which does move and fade stuff: http://joachim-breitner.de/publications/haskell_bytes_portland_2014-06-13.we... But the ride was not as smooth as it should have been. See https://gist.github.com/nomeata/cde96a2e693a23cca8ee for the code. The function positionSpec contains a “script”, i.e. a sequence of animated modifications to the image, using lenses to position the change. I guess with the right combinators, this can be greatly simplified, but it is hard to come up with the right combinators. Especially as our code is one-dimensional, and we want to compose in three dimensions (x, y and time).
