Background

blank-canvas is a Haskell binding to the complete HTML5 Canvas API. blank-canvas allows Haskell users to write, in Haskell, interactive images onto their web browsers. blank-canvas gives the users a single full-window canvas, and provides many well-documented functions for rendering images.

Installation

cabal install blank-canvas

That's it!

If you want the examples, the install them as well

cabal install blank-canvas-examples

We recommend downloading the blank-canvas-examples repo and building by hand (or from this github repo), simply because you then have the source to start experimenting with.
