Pris¶

Pris is a domain-specific language for designing slides and other graphics.

Pris allows you to write drawing commands in a lightweight programming language tailored for the task, and compile that to PDF. Graphics can be parametrized easily, and instead of copy-pasting, common elements can be extracted into reusable functions.

Features¶

• Compiles to PDF.
• Full typographic control.
• First class graphics that can be inspected and manipulated as values.
• First class functions.

Example¶

The obligatory “hello world”:

{
  put t("Hello world") at (0.1w, 0.5h)
}

This produces a single page, with the text “Hello world” in the default sans-serif font. The leftmost point on the text baseline is located at 10% of the canvas width and 50% of the canvas height.

Getting started¶

Pris needs to be built from source. See the building chapter of the docs. Then you might want to take a look at the examples. Please note that Pris is alpha-quality software. Expect things to break.
