Question

I am trying to get some example of how the “gnuplot” haskell wrapper works, and I followed the instructions of installing it with examples from cabal:

cabal install -fbuildExamples gnuplot

They say that “Examples for using this interface can be found in the Demo module.”
But where is this demo module located? I am on Windows 7, using Haskell platform.

Any tips, welcome.

Answer 1

It can be found in the source code of the package. The easiest way to get it is to use the cabal unpack commmand, which downloads the source code of a package.

$ cd ~/Code                           # or whereever you want it
$ cabal unpack gnuplot
Downloading gnuplot-0.4.2...
Unpacking to gnuplot-0.4.2/
$ vim gnuplot-0.4.2/src/Demo.hs       # or whatever editor you're using
