Re: [Haskell-cafe] Fw: patch applied (ghc): Remove the OpenGL familyof libraries fromextralibs
by Andy Gill 22 Aug '08

Conal, myself, and a few others are working on FieldTrip http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/FieldTrip A library that is built onto of OpenGL. Early days, but we certainly use OpenGL. Technically, the final version will be independent of OpenGL, but use OpenGL for rendering. But that a critical piece of the library offering!

ANN: FTGL 1.0. Portable truetype font rendering in OpenGL
by Jefferson Heard 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

Hi folks. I've just released some Haskell bindings to FTGL at http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/FTGL . FTGL is an easy to use library for portable rendering of TrueType fonts in OpenGL, with functions for creating bitmapped fonts, texture-mapped fonts, buffered fonts, polygonal 2D fonts, and extruded polygonal 3D fonts. The code works on Windows and Linux. I've not tested it yet on the Mac. To use FTGL in your programs, just import Graphics.Rendering.FTGL and use do font <- createTextureFont "font.ttf" setFontFaceSize font 24 72 renderFont font "some string" More documentation can be found at the FTGL homepage at http://ftgl.sourceforge.net -- Jeff
