Wumpus.Basic.Graphic.BaseTypes

Description

Base types for Drawing Objects, Graphics / Images (a Graphic that also returns an answer), etc.

** WARNING ** - some names are expected to change particularly the naming of the append and concat functions.

Synopsis

Documentation

type HPrim u = H (PrimElement u)Source

Graphics objects, even simple ones (line, arrow, dot) might need more than one primitive (path or text label) for their construction. Hence, the primary representation that all the others are built upon must support concatenation of primitives.

Wumpus-Core has a type Picture - made from one or more Primitives - but Pictures include support for affine frames. For drawing many simple graphics (dots, connector lines...) that do not need individual affine transformations this is a penalty. A list of Primitives is therefore more suitable representation, and a Hughes list which supports efficient concatenation is wise.

type Point2T u = Point2 u -> Point2 uSource

Point transformation function.

type LocGraphic u = Point2 u -> Graphic uSource

Commonly graphics take a start point as well as a drawing context.

Here they are called a LocGraphic - graphic with a (starting) location.

appendAt :: LocGraphic u -> LocGraphic u -> LocGraphic uSource

Composition operator for LocGraphic - both LocGraphics are drawn at the same origin and the results concatenated.

type Image u a = DrawingObject (a, HPrim u)Source

Images return a value as well as drawing. A node is a typical example - nodes are drawing but the also support taking anchor points.

type LocImage u a = Point2 u -> Image u aSource

type ConnGraphic u = Point2 u -> Point2 u -> Graphic uSource

ConnGraphic is a connector drawn between two points contructing a Graphic.

type ConnImage u a = Point2 u -> Point2 u -> Image u aSource

ConImage is a connector drawn between two points constructing an Image.
