This repository contains a simple Standard ML 2D drawing library. The library comes with multiple backends, including a LaTeX backend and an SVG backend.

Assumptions

The library assumes a Standard ML compiler that supports MLB files. MLKit or MLton will work. To run the test examples, you also need pdflatex installed.

How to test it

To try a simple example, type

$ cd test
$ make simple

To try a series of examples, type

$ make

The examples generate .tex-files, which are processed by pdflatex, and .xml-files, which can be injected into HTML and loaded by a Web browser.

See Makefile and test/Makefile for details of the building process.
