Drawing Commands

val draw : ?brush:Brush.t ->
       ?color:Color.t ->
       ?pen:Pen.t ->
       ?dashed:Dash.t -> Path.t -> t

Draw a path

color : the color of the path; default is black

pen : the pen used to draw the path; default is Brush.Pen.default

dashed : if given, the path is drawn using that dash_style.

val fill : ?color:Color.t -> Path.t -> t

Fill a contour given by a closed path

color : the color used to fill the area; default is black

val draw_pic : Picture.t -> t

draws a picture

val externalimage : string ->
       [ `Exact of Num.t * Num.t
       | `Height of Num.t
       | `Inside of Num.t * Num.t
       | `None
       | `Width of Num.t ] -> t

insert an image given its filename - *EXPERIMENTAL*

Manipulating Commands

val nop : t

A command that has no effect

val append : t -> t -> t

Append two commands to form a compound command

val (++) : t -> t -> t

Abbreviation for append

val seq : t list -> t

Group a list of commands to a single command

val iter : int -> int -> (int -> t) -> t

iter m n f builds a command that corresponds to the sequence of commands f m; f (m+1); ... ; f(n)

val iterl : ('a -> t) -> 'a list -> t

iterl f l builds a command that corresponds to the sequence of commands f x1; f x2; ... ; f xn for l = [x1;x2;...;xn]

Labels

type hposition = [ `Center | `East | `Left | `Right | `West ]

type vposition = [ `Bot | `Bottom | `Center | `North | `South | `Top ]

type position = [ `Bot
       | `Bottom
       | `Bottomleft
       | `Bottomright
       | `Center
       | `East

Positions - they are used at many places in Mlpost to indicate a direction or position.

val label : ?pos:position ->
       Picture.t -> Point.t -> t

label ~pos:`West pic p puts picture pic at the left of the point p

val dotlabel : ?pos:position ->
       Picture.t -> Point.t -> t

Works like label, but puts a dot at point p as well
