README
HikoGUI GUI library [](https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/actions/workflows/build-on-windows.yml) [](https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/releases/latest) [](https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/LICENSE_1_0.txt)
==================
A portable, low latency, retained-mode GUI framework written in C++
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I started this library to make a portable, low latency and modern looking
UI framework, which may also be used in proprietary (closed source) applications.
It is specifically designed to display information with low-latency,
and at the screen's refresh rate. Special care is taken for making
it easy for GUI element to observe and modify data external to the GUI.
You can find a lot more information,
[documentation](https://hikogui.org/docs/hikogui/main/index.html),
[example code](https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui-hello-world/blob/main/src/main.cpp),
news and blog posts on the main web site:
Features
--------
- High level API to make simple desktop applications.
- Modern C++20 library.
- Retained-mode GUI.
- GUI will dynamically track the state of the application.
- Localization and translation.
- Animation at the screen's refresh rate.
- Themes; including light/dark support.
- Editable key-bindings.
- Most or all drawing is GPU accelerated with Vulkan.
- Text is drawn using kerning, perceptional correct blending and subpixel anti-aliasing.
- High dynamic range and high gamut color handling.
- Automatic application preferences storage.
- Many support systems:
+ logging,
+ statistics,
+ text handling,
+ text template language,
+ expression language,
+ dynamic type system.
Example
-------
Here is some example code for an application with three radio buttons,
who form a set by sharing a single `value` observer.
```
int hi_main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
observer value = 0;
auto gui = hi::gui_system::make_unique();
auto &window = gui.make_window(txt("Radio button example"));
window.content().emplace("A1", txt("radio buttons:"));
window.content().emplace("B1", txt("one"), value, 1);
window.content().emplace("B2", txt("two"), value, 2);
window.content().emplace("B3", txt("three"), value, 3);
return gui->loop();
}
```
Platform support
----------------
The following platforms are supported:
- MSVC - Windows 10 (or newer) - x64
For hardware support see: [hardware\_support](docs/hardware_support.md)
