I love Functional Graphics and pict! I would love to combine pict with a constraint-based sizing and layout engine. Has there been any exploration of this? I would like to build something like Alan Borning's ThingLab which was inspired by Ivan Sutherland's Sketchpad. I'm imagining that doing it elegantly would require being able to provide an external environment (computed by the constraint engine) at render time which would override individual size and position information in the tree of pict, but perhaps there are other ways of doing it.
