Yeah, I guess it could end up being surprising either way. But I
think if we want to have things like connections between named points
which track changes to the location of the points, it will have to
wait until we have some sort of system in place for handling diagram
layout via constraint solving. For now the simplest solution (lines

Wow, Thanks! That's precisely what I was after, in extreme detail.

when looking for agile visualization,
just found that video 4mn, on an agile small talk visualization engine

Roassal is an agile visualization engine. Roassal graphically renders objects using short and expressive Smalltalk expressions. A large set of interaction are offered for a better user experience. Painting, brushing, interconnecting, zooming, drag and dropping will just make you more intimate with any arbitrary object model.

Hi Adrian,

Actually, diagrams provides some tools specifically for accomplishing
this kind of thing, so it is not that bad. (This question would
probably be more appropriate on the diagrams mailing list---it has to
do with the workings of diagrams in particular and not much to do with
Haskell in general---so I'm also cc'ing that mailing list. Luckily I

Re: [diagrams] using Names

Thanks for this explanation; I had assumed it was possible and I just would
need to write that function myself. I think it's just "think hard and bang
out code" tricky, but it also might lead to diagrams not working as
expected. Consider this case:

- create a diagram with two named Subdiagrams

Re: [diagrams] using Names

Yeah, currently there is no functionality to let you modify a
subdiagram, although I have certainly considered it before. It's
tricky. Off the top of my head I do not know/remember whether it is
"major redesign"- tricky or just "someone needs to sit down and think
hard for a bit and bang out the code"-tricky. The problem is that

using Names

Hello,

I have a project for which I'd like to do something like the following:

and later, be able to apply attributes to the named components directly,
something like

to set the line color of the named subdiagram.

Is there a good way to do this currently? withName is close, but it

My understanding is that the role of the mentor is to ensure the
student is making adequate progress, to give advice and help as
needed, and to serve as the official point of contact with Google.
But there is not any expectation that the mentor will be able to help
with all aspects of the project. Of course, there are many of us with

I am ok doing this. Let me know what I have to do now (if anything).

However, my knowledge of the diagrams library is limited to reading of
the tutorials and a small amount of tinkering. So it would be great to
have input from others in this area.

Yikes. Not sure why dockerz.net was down. I've rebooted it and all seems
normal.

However, I don't really have much of an online presence to reference. In
addition to the chart stuff at dockerz.net I have a sporadic haskell
related blog at:

PS: As Tim is the main developer on Charts, I think he would be best to
mentor the project.

I have no idea how the process for mentors works. I registered on the GSoC
2013 site as a student. Below the link for applying as a student there is
one to register as possible mentor:

Sorry Dominic - I saw the cc: to Tim Docker, and assumed that Dom was an alias for Tim Docker. My wrong.

Good question regarding registration. Jan, do you know?

I have been called many things in my life but never Tim :-) Do you have to
register as a mentor now (perhaps you already are) or do we wait until the
proposal is accepted?
