huygens

This is a python package for drawing diagrams. Intended to have multiple backends, currently the only backend implemented uses cairo. Hopefully there will also be a PyX backend.

It can also include text from TeX via pdftex, pdflatex, xetex or xelatex.

Diagrams are able to be composed in various ways, based on a linear constraint solver. Therefore, this system becomes a declarative graphics layout package.

This package is at an early stage of development, so expect things to change drastically and without warning.
