Functional MetaPost =================== :Latest Release: funcmp-1.1.tar.gz_ :Darcs: darcs_ get http://cryp.to/funcmp/ Synopsis -------- Functional MetaPost is a Haskell_ frontend to the MetaPost_ language by John Hobby. Users write their graphics as Haskell programs, which then emit MetaPost code that can be compiled into encapsulated PostScript files and smoothly included into e.g. LaTeX. Documentation ------------- All these documents are included in the distribution in literate Haskell style, but building them is non-trivial because it needs additional tools. `User's Manual <http://cryp.to/funcmp/legacy-doc/Manual_eng.ps>`_ A collection of useful examples how to use Functional MetaPost. Has little additional explanations, but the code is quite enlightening. Thesis The original thesis describing the implementation. It is outdated, but still your best bet right now. The Postscript document is originally written in `German <http://cryp.to/funcmp/legacy-doc/Thesis.ps>`_, but there also is a translated, `English <http://cryp.to/funcmp/legacy-doc/Thesis_eng.ps>`_ version, although it appears to be less complete than the german one. Tutorial Another set of examples with spurious comments thrown in. The original Postscript version is written in `German <http://cryp.to/funcmp/legacy-doc/Tutorial.ps>`_, but it has been translated to `English <http://cryp.to/funcmp/legacy-doc/Tutorial_eng.ps>`_ as well. `Reference Documentation`_ Haddock-generated reference of all exported functions.
