Re: [cl-cairo2-announce] syntax change in cl-cairo2

Hi cl-cairo2 users,

Comments after this change have persuaded me to change the interface to something similar to the old one (but with a keyword argument). If you are still using cl-cairo2, please let me know what you think by commenting here:

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

I pushed a new version of cl-cairo2 to the GIT repository http://github.com/tpapp/cl-cairo2/tree/master where it is kept now.

The most important change is that I disposed of the *context* global variable, and moved context to the first argument, so now you write

(move-to context 0 -2)

instead of

(move-to 0 -2 context)

or

(setf *context*) (move-to 0 -2)

I know this is an important change in syntax, and may break a lot of code. I apologize for the inconvenience, but this has been a major wart on the initial design and I have always wanted to fix it.

Best,

Tamas
