dali is a Clojure library for representing, exporting and manipulating the SVG graphics format.
I do not understand why, when I ask for grilled lobster in a restaurant, I'm never served a cooked telephone. -- Salvador Dalí
dali is a Clojure library for representing the SVG graphics format. It allows the creation and manipulation of SVG files. The syntax used to describe the graphical elements is based on hiccup with a few extensions.
The main advantage of dali is that it provides facilities to perform complex layouts without having to position elements explicitly.
Here's a hello world for dali:
(require '[dali.io :as io])(def document [:dali/page [:circle {:stroke :indigo :stroke-width 4 :fill :darkorange} [30 30] 20]])
(io/render-svg document "hello-world.svg")
;;you can also rasterize directly using Batik: (io/render-png document "hello-world.png")
Here's a more substantial example of the kind of SVG you can produce with dali without having to specify the exact coordinates to position the elements:
Before adding dali as a dependency, please consider that it's still alpha quality and the API and syntax can (and very likely will) change. Just add this to the dependencies of your
project.clj:
[dali "1.0.2"]
Or this, to your
deps.edn:
dali/dali {:mvn/version "1.0.2"}
