Examples without mainWith?

[greg travis]

First of all, thanks to Brent Y for an awesome library!

I am scouring the documentation and examples and cannot find a way to render a a diagram without using 'mainWith'. I'm using diagrams from an executable that already has command-line arguments so I would like to pass options (backend, size, etc) via code rather than command-line args. Is this possible?

Hi Greg,

You are probably looking for `renderDia` and similar functions for each backend:

There is a lot of flexibility in the command line support as well (your uses might match with `mainRender`):

Hope this helps,

Ryan
