I’ve changed colors so that they’re now handled by Russell O’Connor’s excellent Data.Colour package, and changed Interactive up a bit to make it a bit easier to get at the canvas and data structures, point being to allow you to use Hieroglyph inside of a larger Gtk GUI more easily. There shouldn’t be any code changes required at this time, though. Can’t guarantee I won’t break the interface a bit in the future, but for now, you should see slightly better performance and have a lot more control over how color is displayed. Thanks!
Could you give an example of how to use the new colour handling? I am trying to run one of your previous sparkline examples but I can’t work out how to use Data.Colour to produce a suitable value of black or white.
Sure I can do that. I was planning on posting today anyway.
Hi, I managed to successfully run your “beautiful code” Cairo and OpenGL example. Great material.
But I can’t somehow install the Hieroglyph package via cabal on Windows XP. It says:
cc1.exe: out of memory allocating 65536 bytes
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install.
Any advice?

I would guess it might be in the compiler flags in the cabal file. IIRC I set it up as -fvia-C and -optc-O2 — you could take those out.
