Hi,
I got to know Haskell through Functional Metapost. Those who use LaTeX and feel like programming some graphics in Haskell, might have a look at this:
http://tex.loria.fr/prod-graph/functional-metapost-latex.pdf
Trying to use the package I had some problems with the current Hugs and GHC, too. It seems like the version I have is quite dated: it uses fromDouble, fromInt, fromRealFrac etc. which GHC barks at.
I made some modifications to have it compile, so that I can use it know, but I still have a couple of problems that should be washed out. But before I go for it, I'd like to know if somebody have got a newer version, or somebody else maintains it, or have some relevant information about that package, or anything... On the Web I found nothing, really.
I am interested in using FuncMP, so if you get it to work with a current GHC or Hugs.. Plain metapost is just too awkward to use when one wants to make more complex graphics, like 3D. I think Haskell might help there. /mill -- ############################################################# # S-mail: Olof Oberg # mill@pedgr571.sn.umu.se # # Pedagoggr. 7A # mill@ludd.luth.se # # S-907 30 Umea # tdv94oog@cs.umu.se # # Phone: 090-197395 # http://pedgr571.sn.umu.se/~mill # #############################################################
