# Emigui
(Experimental, Modularized Immediate mode Graphical User Interface)

An immediate mode GUI library written in Rust. For web apps or native apps.

## Goals:
* Lightweight
* Short, conveniant syntax
* Responsive (60 Hz without breaking a sweat)
* Portable
* Platform independent (the same code works on the web and as a native app)

## How it works:
Loop:
* Gather input: mouse, touches, screen size, ...
* Run application code (Immediate Mode GUI)
* Output is a triangle mesh
* Render with e.g. OpenGL

## Available backends:
Wherever you can render textured triangles you can use Emigui.

Currently two backends have been tested:
* WebAssembly (emigui_wasm) for making a web app
* [Glium](https://github.com/glium/glium) for native apps (see example_glium).

The same application code can thus be compiled to either into a native app or a web app.

## Demos

## State
Mostly a tech demo at this point. I hope to find time to work more on this in the future.

Features:

* Labels
* Buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons and sliders
* Horizontal or vertical layout
* Column layout
* Collapsible headers (sections)
* Windows
* Resizable regions
* Vertical scolling
* Simple text input
* Anti-aliased rendering of circles, rounded rectangles and lines.


## Inspiration
The one and only [Dear ImGui](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) is a great Immediate Mode GUI for C++ which works with many backends. That library revolutionized how I think about GUI code from something I hated to do to something I now like to do.
