Does anyone know a non-TeX equivalent for TikZ?

Question

Until now i have used Graphviz to programmatically create diagrams and graphs. Recently, I found out about TikZ and I started loving it. However, it would be overkill in some of my intended uses to have a dependency on TeX, LaTeX, etc. Thus, I want to see if there is a similar application as Tikz that doesn't links with TeX concepts.

I mainly intend to use this in Haskell, Python and C. Thus, bindings for those languages will be a big plus.

Thanks

(Hopefully, I posted this in the right place. I see that there is a related question but that solution there doesn't really help me)

Answer 1

Maybe you'd like the Haskell diagrams library? Also see the gallery (click the images to view the source). It's on hackage. (As far as I know there are no bindings; not sure how easy it'd be to implement them yourself.)

Answer 2

It depends on what features you are looking for.

Somewhat similar applications with fewer or no dependencies are:

• Asymptote
• GLE

For Python you could try PyX.

Answer 3

Metapict: https://docs.racket-lang.org/metapict/index.html

Metapict is inspired by Metapost and TikZ.
