2401 :: agar wrapper

• geezer9 (orginal) [2016-07-23T04:32:37+02:00] view original

  Is there a nim wrapper for the agar gui library? (see libagar.org)

  Does anyone know how big the libagar.so or libagar.dll are?

  I am still trying to find a lightweight cross platform gui library which has automatic layout features (think Java LayoutManager). FLTK is great - but programmer needs to use static pixel sizes. IUP is also good (tho the nim wrapper is kinda out of date) but not directly supported on OS-X yet.

  Qt, WxWidgets, GTK+, etc are NOT lightweight.

  Plus all of the above have their own object systems - duplicating and perhaps conflicting with the nim object system.

  FLTK does have some sort of automatic layout feature, although it's based on pixel positions/sizes.

  Keep an eye on: https://github.com/andlabs/libui

  The resizing in FLTK is useful - but does not compute the initial preferred size of standard controls such as buttons. Version 2.X of FLTK suggested some such feature, but then version 2 has been sort of "retracted".

  Is someone working on a nim wrapper for andlab's libui ??

  Where would I look for that ??

  Thanks guys.
