GraRLS is my attempt at a programming language specifically designed for generating graphics. So far I seem to be the only person using the system so, although I have been using it for several years and have fixed a number of bugs, there must be more to be found.
The version here is a free version. It will produce static graphic images in a number of formats ( BMP, JPEG and PNG ). It will accept a single source file.
Have a quick look through some of the tutorial pages to get an idea of the way the language works. There are also some examples here.
All the documentation is included in the download. The language specification is also in Documents along with the tutorial.
It was my aim to continue with serious development of the system and to port it to Linux but, due the the general lack of interest, future development will be limited to my own private version of the system ( although any bug fixes that affect the public version will be released ). Due to the current epidemic and other disruptions to my life, development has ground to a halt. By 2023 I should be in a position to do more serious work on the system. Although this will probably never be released, I will still try to report on features for those people interested in developing their own systems.
It was also my intention in the long run to release the source code and release the advanced version for free. But due to the offensive and hypocritical attitude of a member of the Free Software Fascists ( He condemned me for raising the possibility of charging for more advanced versions - while still maintaining a free version, yet the guy was registered with contracting sites - thus he clearly expected to be paid for his own work ), I have decided that the source will never be released.
