Hi all!
I am very pleased to announce the release of Graphics.Rendering.Diagrams, an embedded domain-specific language for creating simple pictures and diagrams, built on top of the Cairo vector graphics library. It's still somewhat in its infancy, but already beginning to be useful and I wanted to get something released as soon as possible.
More info and examples here: http://byorgey.wordpress.com/2008/04/30/ new-haskell-diagrams-library/
Download the package here: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/diagrams-0.1
If it looks interesting to you, please give it a try, report bugs, request features, and so on. If it looks too simplistic to be of use to you -- just wait for a future version! I've got tons of ideas for features. If you're interested in contributing, I'll have a darcs repo up (most likely at http://code.haskell.org/diagrams/) as soon as someone creates a directory for me on code.haskell.org.
A quick update: thanks to Duncan Coutts, there is now a public darcs repository for diagrams: http://code.haskell.org/diagrams/. If you're interested in contributing some code, do a darcs get, and get hacking! Well, except it would be nice if you discuss with me first what you're thinking of doing. =) If enough people are interested, I can set up a mailing list or something. -Brent
