KAS GUI
=======
[](https://github.com/kas-gui/kas/actions)
[](https://crates.io/crates/kas)
[](https://github.com/kas-gui/kas-text/)
[](https://docs.rs/kas)
KAS is a stateful, pure-Rust GUI toolkit supporting:
- [x] Mostly declarative UI descriptions
- [x] Stateful widgets (e.g. selection range or a pure-UI counter)
- [x] Virtual scrolling (list or matrix), including support for external data sources
- [x] Theme abstraction including theme-driven animations and sizing
- [ ] Multiple renderer backends
- [ ] Integrated i18n support
- [ ] Accessibility tool integration
- [ ] Platform integration: persistent configuration, theme discovery, external menus, IME
- [x] Most of the basics you'd expect: complex text, fractional scaling, automatic margins
- [x] Extremely fast, monolithic binaries

Crates and features
-------------------
[kas] is a meta-package serving as the library's public API, but containing no real code. Other crates in this repo:
- [kas-core](https://docs.rs/kas-core): the core library
- [kas-widgets](https://docs.rs/kas-widgets): the main widget library
- [kas-view](https://docs.rs/kas-view): view widgets supporting virtual scrolling
- [kas-resvg](https://docs.rs/kas-resvg): extra widgets over [resvg](https://crates.io/crates/resvg)
- [kas-dylib](https://crates.io/crates/kas-dylib): helper crate to support dynamic linking
- kas-macros: proc-macro crate
Significant external dependencies:
- [kas-text](https://crates.io/crates/kas-text): complex text support
- [impl-tools](https://crates.io/crates/impl-tools): `autoimpl` and `impl_scope` (extensible) macros
- [winit](https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit): platform window integration
- [wgpu](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu): modern accelerated graphics API
### Feature flags
The `kas` crate enables most important features by default, excepting those
requiring nightly `rustc`. Other crates enable fewer features by default.
See [Cargo.toml](https://github.com/kas-gui/kas/blob/master/Cargo.toml#L22).

Size
----
To reduce binary size, add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[profile.release]
strip = true
opt-level = "z"
```
You might also consider using feature `dynamic` if wishing to ship multiple
binaries with shared libraries (Rust's `libstd` and `libkas_dylib`); note
however that these are not ABI-stable.
