[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/diagrams/diagrams.png)](http://travis-ci.org/diagrams/diagrams)
[diagrams] is a full-featured framework and domain-specific langauge
(embedded in [Haskell]) for creating declarative vector graphics and
animations.
[diagrams]: http://projects.haskell.org/diagrams/
[haskell]: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell
This package is just *a convenient wrapper* around the
[diagrams-core], [diagrams-lib], [diagrams-svg], and
[diagrams-contrib] packages, so they can be installed with a single
`cabal install diagrams` command.
[diagrams-core]: http://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-core
[diagrams-lib]: http://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-lib
[diagrams-svg]: http://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-svg
[diagrams-contrib]: http://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-contrib
The package also comes with flags to enable six different backends.
The [native SVG backend](http://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-svg) is
enabled by the `-fsvg` flag and is enabled by default. If you don't
want it, you must explicitly disable it with `-f-svg`.
The
[native postscript backend](http://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-postscript)
is disabled by default but can be enabled by the `-fps` flag.
The [cairo backend](http://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-cairo) is
disabled by default but can be selected with the `-fcairo` flag. In
addition, the [GTK backend](http://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-gtk)
is based on the cairo backend (but split into a separate package to
make installing the cairo backend easier). It can be selected with
the `fgtk` flag.
The [native rasterific backend](http://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-rasterific) which is
disabled by default but can be selected with the `-frasterific` flag.
The [native canvas backend](http://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-canvas) which is
disabled by default but can be selected with the `-fcanvas` flag.
# Installation
```
cabal update && cabal install diagrams
```
or, to get the postscript backend in addition to the SVG backend:
```
cabal update && cabal install -fps diagrams
```
or, to get the cairo backend in addition to the SVG backend:
```
cabal update && cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools && cabal install -fcairo diagrams
```
# Reporting bugs
Issue trackers for all diagrams-related repositories are hosted under
the [diagrams organization on github](http://github.com/diagrams). If
you know the specific package containing the bug, report it in the
issue tracker specific to that package (for example,
[diagrams-lib](http://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-lib/issues)).
Otherwise, just report the issue in the issue tracker for the
[general diagrams repository](http://github.com/diagrams/diagrams/issues).
