libxputty

A damn tiny abstraction Layer to create cross compatible window/widgets with cairo surfaces for MSWindows (HWND) and Linux (X11).

This repository contain only the library files to allow easily and lightweight embedding into other projects.

API Documentation is here: Documentation

A simple example is here: EXAMPLE

Features

  • easy creation of widgets and windows

  • easy handling of multiple windows including multiple widgets

  • easy memory management by the xputty main struct

  • easy to use main struct to handle the lifetime of all widgets and windows

    • Xputty main;
    • main_init(&main);
    • create_windows();
    • main_run(&main);
    • main_quit(&main);
  • easy embedding Windows into other native windows

  • all events been handled by function pointers, thus allow

    • easy connection to event handlers by simply overwriting the defaults with you own handlers
    • implement you own events by add a function pointer and connect to it
    • block free connection between dialog boxes and the main window
  • easy to use x/y adjustments to create your own controller widgets like sliders, knobs, buttons or trackballs

  • double buffered cairo surfaces to enable transparent drawing on child widgets

  • handle child widgets via childlist

  • multiple implemented resizing options

  • a couple of defined Widgets and Dialogs ready to use

  • full documented API Documentation

  • static linking to create position independent applications
