Haskell has Cairo bindings as part of gtk2hs. The package on Hackage is called 'cairo'. You can certainly preview on the screen, but I'm less sure about exporting to PDF, since the bindings were intended for GUI programming. At least PNG output is possible, though; PDF may be, as well.

To answer my own email, yes, PDF support is there.

You can also take a look at the demo programs in the cairo package: bash $ mkdir /tmp/uncabal && cd /tmp/uncabal bash $ cabal unpack cairo bash $ cd /tmp/uncabal/cairo-*/demo bash $ runghc StarAndRing.hs The gtk2hs bindings are generaly pretty dumb and just mimic the original C behaviour. So the best source of documentation is the original cairo website: http://cairographics.org/documentation/ regards, /john

Great, I assume it would also allow me to preview it on a GTK canvas, right? -- PMatos
