Hello, Does anyone know the current status of the Diagrams package? I'm having some trouble and wonder if anyone can help, given the last release was in 2016. Thanks, Roger

I take it you mean the diagrams package? I've used it for hgis http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hgis and wordchoice http://hackage.haskell.org/package/wordchoice. The diagrams ecosystem receives sporadic updates, and occasionally I've submitted patches upstream. But they definitely both work with GHC 8.4.3 if you use cabal new-build and are generally well-written. On 08/28/2018 01:38 PM, Roger Mason wrote:

Hi Roger,
Development on diagrams is rather slow at the moment, but it is still
actively used and maintained. The best places to get help are (1) on the
#diagrams IRC channel on Freenode (you probably won't get an immediate
response, but any messages will definitely be seen and will get responded
to eventually if you stick around), (2) the mailing list as others pointed
out. We try to be a helpful bunch and would love to help you get diagrams
working for you.

I am traveling and so have intermittent connectivity, so my responses have been rather slow. After some tinkering I have made progress in the last couple of days. If I get stuck again (I am a haskell novice) I will certainly ask on #diagrams or the mailing list. Thanks again to all who responded. Roger
