Hi,

I am wondering how to draw a venn diagram with language. What is a preferred and well supported way of doing that in Julia language? I would be happy if there was some example code that would work out of the box. I have no previous experience from Julia language.

Thanks

Julia is a general purpose programming language. While there are libraries for generating graphics output, most of the plotting libraries are geared towards plotting data, not making illustrations. General purpose software like [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/en/) or a LaTeX library like [TikZ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGF/TikZ) may serve your purposes better.

That said, Luxor.jl may be useful:

```julia
using Luxor
Drawing(400, 400, "/tmp/venn_diagram.svg")
background("white")
O = Point(200, 200)
R = 80
A = 0.9*R
for (i, color) in enumerate(["red", "green", "blue"])
    α = ((i-1)*2/3+1/2)*π
    sethue(color)
    circle(O + Point(A*cos(α), A*sin(α)), R, :stroke)
end
finish()
preview()

```
