This repository contains bindings from the Nim programming language to the GTK3 _GUI_ (_Graphical User Interface_) library and related libraries.

https://nim-lang.org/[Nim] is a modern universal programming language.

https://www.gtk.org/[GTK], also known as the _Gimp Tool Kit_ and now sometimes also called _Gnome Tool Kit_, is a Graphical User Interface library.

Basically this is an updated copy of the individual files from https://github.com/ngtk3 to form a single package which can be installed with

Nim's package manager. The bindings are created with c2nim  v 0.9.13 from latest GTK 3.22 header files.

----

# install

nimble install oldgtk3

----

After install, you can use this package in the same way as you have used the ngtk3 modules, but import has now the qualified form `import oldgtk3/[glib, gobject, gdk, gtk, cairo, pango]`.

This package is only tested with 64 bit Linux currently.

The name oldgtk3 is a bit misleading -- we need a unique toplevel name to avoid name conflicts with the legacy floating gtk2 related packages, and at the same time

the name is a hint that with package *gintro* we now have even high level, gobject-introspection based bindings.

Small test examples are available in the subdirectories called tests in this repository.

Later I will extend this README file with some example programs and I will modify the *NEd* editor and the *nim-chess* game for using this package.

Basically for that only the import lists have to be modified.
