Diagrams: Composition, Envelopes and Alignment Part 1

Jeffrey Rosenbluth explains how to compose and align vector graphics in Haskell using the Diagrams library.

Jeffrey Rosenbluth New York Haskell Meetup May 27, 2015 Diagrams [1] is a powerful library for creating complex pictures with Haskell. This talk discusses some of the new features in the recent 1.3 release [2] of the library. It explains how to compose diagrams and describes the concept of an envelope which is important to understanding diagram alignment. Then it ties everything together with a step-by-step explanation of how to construct a 2-mirror kaleidoscope generator.
