Show HN: Dropflow, a CSS layout engine for node or <canvas>
I'm a little confused by your comment. I've been using the Prawn library to generate PDFs on the backend for a side project I am working on for quite sometime https://github.com/prawnpdf/prawn
(Admittedly, the PDFs I generate are most certainly not beautiful, so maybe that's the difference)

Working with PDFs in Ruby
to view the email preview (note the PDF attachment included in the email): ![Email preview with attachment](https://www.honeybadger.io/images/blog/posts/ruby-pdfs/email-preview.png) ## Prawn PDF [Prawn PDF](https://github.com/prawnpdf/prawn) is a pure Ruby PDF- generation library that comes packed with features, such as PNG and JPG image embeds, generated file encryption, right-to-left text rendering, a way to incorporate outlines for easy document navigation, and a lot more. Prawn comes with its own DSL, which drives its powerful PDF generation abilities. ### When to Use Prawn Although it's not a fully featured report generation library like the well-known [Jasper Reports](https://community.jaspersoft.com/), with a bit of work using it's powerful DSL, you can generate some really cool and rather complex PDF documents with Prawn. Even so, it's important to note that Prawn isn't everything. If you want to generate PDFs from HTML, then you should look elsewhere, as the gem provides very limited support for inline styling, something of a hurdle if you're working with rich HTML documents. ### Installing and Using Prawn To get started with Prawn, install it with this command: ```bash gem install prawn

Working on Script to auto-generate templates, help needed
Javascript isn't really my thing, so first I had a go with the Prawn library in ruby, but now I'm hacking LuaTex via Fennel and having a blast.

Creating PDFs in a Ruby on Rails application
You have a few options when trying to create a PDF in a Rails environment. Prawn and Wicked PDF have been around for quite a while. I have been using both gems and they work fine. However, they have a few limitations that can make it difficult to handle more complex PDFs. I recently discovered Grover, which can remediate some of this inflexibility in creating PDFs.

What libraries do you miss from other languages?
On this note, Ruby’s Prawn is great at the writing half and I miss it in pretty much every other language.

2021 PDF planner template for goodnotes etc. (Sadly the last one)
are you using keynote to make the file and then export to pdf? I wonder if it could be possible to do this programatically, using ruby and prawn (https://github.com/prawnpdf/prawn) 🤔. I have zero time to try it today, but this could be a fun weekend project for sure.

Plotting with GTK4
plotter-rs Cairo backend: Specific backend to interact with a gtk-rs DrawingArea widget.

Looking for any crates to help me migrate my current workflow to Rust.
I would also look at plotters https://github.com/plotters-rs/plotters to replace mathplotlib. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any library for image transformations/augmentations.

Iced, a cross-platform GUI library — New release featuring stabilization of stateless widgets, first-class theming, widget operations, lazy widget, and more!
Have you looked into plotters https://github.com/plotters-rs/plotters ? I think it should be possible to integrate it into an app.
- By the way, plotters has an ab_glyph feature now

About plots, besides plotly, take a look at https://github.com/plotters-rs/plotters and https://github.com/milliams/plotlib

2D library with decent text rendering / measuring support
I'd recommend plotters, I've only used it for it's drawing api and I found it quite nice for text rendering.

Discussion: Integrating polars and plotters
For those who do not know about them, polars is a data frame crate for Rust and Python. It is also the fastest data frame library, according to benchmarks. Plotters is a crate for data visualisation. Both are the equivalents of pandas and matplotlib from the Python ecosystem. However, the integration with matplotlib in pandas has no equivalent. I would like to propose an effort to integrate polars with plotters, either by modifying the existing codebases, or creating a new bridge crate. I would love to hear opinions about this from the widder community.
