Editing diagrams, part 1: a test of your intuition

[Brent Yorgey]

Hi all,

As you may be aware, in diagrams 2.0 it will be possible to access and edit subdiagrams via lenses/traversals.  So for example, consider

d :: Diagram V2
d = hcat (zipWith (.>>) "ABCDE" (replicate 5 (circle 1))) # fc blue

which produces

We can edit the diagram like so:

main :: IO ()
main = mainWith Rasterific $ d # (named 'C' %~ fc red) # frame 1 # bg white

which produces

Now, consider this code:

main :: IO ()
main = mainWith Rasterific $ d # (named 'C' %~ scale 2) # frame 1 # bg white

What image do you think will result?  What image do you think should result?

It's probably obvious that I'm asking because I think the foregoing two questions may have different answers.  But I don't want to bias the results by telling you what I think yet.  Once I get some responses I'll follow up with another email getting into more of the technical details. =)

A big blue circle in the middle, touching but not overlapping the other four circles :).
