@hackage wumpus-basic0.15.0

Kernel code for higher-level drawing built on Wumpus-Core. This package provides font loader code (limited to AFM font files) and a various drawing objects intended to be a higher-level basis to make vector drawings than the primitives (paths, text labels) provided by Wumpus-Core.

** WARNING ** - this package is alpha grade and it is strongly coupled to the package Wumpus-Drawing which is sub-alpha grade. The packages are split as it is expected they will have different development speeds - Wumpus-Basic needs polishing and refinement; Wumpus-Drawing simply needs a lot of work to move its components from proof-of-concept ideas to being readily usable.

NOTE - the demos that were previously included are now in the package Wumpus-Drawing.

Changelog:

v0.14.0 to v0.15.0:

• Split previous Wumpus-Basic package into two packages: Wumpus-Basic and Wumpus-Drawing. This is a pratical move to separate the developed (although not yet polished) Kernel and FontLoader code from the prototypical Drawing code.

• Renamed the Drawing object to CtxPicture. Although CtxPicture is a less pleasant name, it should be less confusing. A CtxPicture is the essentially the Picture type from Wumpus-Core with an implicit context - ContextPicture is simply too long and CtxPicture is almost jibberish but the previous unrelated name Drawing was not helpful.

• Kernel.Base.ScalingContext has been simplified. ScalingContexts are no longer manipulated via a custom Reader monad or transformer as the type signatures were too unwieldy.

• Added TextMargin to the DrawingContext - Wumpus-Drawing can now calculate more appealing bounding boxes for text.
