libraries
gelatin (core)
- Backend definitions
- Primitives for drawing
- triangles
- triangle strips
- triangle fans
- beziers (fill below curve) + inverted beziers (fill above curve)
- thick, feathered stroked lines and for creating new backends.
- Definitions and functions for post compilation affine transformation, color multiply, red channel replacement (for font textures)
gelatin-gl
Backend for compiling gelatin
pictures using OpenGL.
gelatin-freetype2
freetype2
text using character atlases and word maps for fast rendering. Use
this if your text changes frequently but does not often get resized. It is fast to
compile renderings but unless the text is rendered with a large character size, scaling up
the rendering will show pixels.
gelatin-fruity
Functions for extracting truetype font geometry as gelatin
primitives. Use this
if your text resizes frequently but otherwise does not change. It is slow to compile
renderings but once compiled those renderings can be displayed at any scale.
gelatin-sdl2
SDL2 initialization and windowing.
gelatin-webgl
WebGL backend via ghcjs (experimental)
examples

install
gelatin
depends on
You can install them with the following platform specific steps.
Mac OS X
Using homebrew...
brew install freetype
brew install sdl2
Ubuntu
First install freetype2
apt-get install libfreetype6
The sdl2 bindings require an sdl2
install >= 2.0.4, or for special instructions to be followed. Assuming you're
on Ubuntu >= 16.04
, you can simply run
apt-get install libsdl2-dev
otherwise please visit the link above and install via their README.
Windows 10 with MSYS2/MINGW
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config mingw-w64-x86_64-freetype mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2
building source
The easiest way to get up and running on the Haskell toolchain is to download stack. All of gelatin's projects are spec'd out with stack.yaml build files, so picking the correct versions of libraries is not needed if you follow the stack path.
git clone https://github.com/schell/gelatin.git
cd gelatin
If you just installed stack, run
stack setup
Go make some ☕ and then...
stack build
Note on Windows that if you run into this error
ghc-pkg.EXE: C:\sr\snapshots\3c4ad812\pkgdb\package.cache: you don't have
permission to modify this file
You can simply run stack build
over and over until the thing finally compiles.
facepalm - this will be fixed with ghc 8.2.
Drink your ☕, take a walk and rejoice...
