Now that you mention it. I just looked through haskell hierachical libraries and there seems to be no standard data types for vector math. Am I getting something wrong or is every library that is using linear algebra stuff using its own data types? So if I use a numeric library for matrices inside HOpenGL I have to convert around?

I think it would be nice to have data types and functions for dot produkt, scalar product, norms, ...
together with HOpenGL types.

Currently I am trying to embed a triangulation library from a ten year old diploma thesis (http://www.dinkla.net/fp/cglib.html) in my libary (I know that glu has tesselation). The author has developed a quite big and abstract type structure for all sorts of computer graphics algorithms and I didn't wanted to copy this into my library just for triangulation. But it is reasonable. It could be combined with HOpenGL types to maybe
Data.VectorMath or Data.LinearAlgebra . I would favour the second.
