Re: Example usages of guile-cairo

[Panicz Maciej Godek]

Hi,
thanks for your reply -- I think I have solved it (although I took a
slightly different approach*) -- the problem was probably that the scale
was too small for anything to be visible, and it was sufficient to enlarge
the values of points.

Of course, if you publish your examples, as it is always a pleasure to read
other people's ideas :)

*the approach was to write my own bindings to cairo, as I intended to
integrate it with my SDL-based framework anyway, so I wrote a module
inspired by cairosdl, with a slightly more scheme-style API, i.e. instead
of passing the cairo context explicitly to each function, one uses the
notion of current drawing context (like there is the notion of current
output port for the display; the difference is that I didn't reify the
drawing context yet), e.g.

(let ((image (make-image 320 200)))
  (with-output-to-surface image
    (lambda ()
      (set-source-rgb! 0 0 0)
      (move-to! 0 0)
      (line-to! 320 240)
      (move-to! 320 0)
      (line-to! 0 240)
      (set-line-width! 2)
      (stroke!)
      image)))

The code is far from complete and far from perfect, but it is available in
the SLAYER repository, in case anybody wanted to check it:
