Planet096 GUI Library

Planet096 is an Arduino library designed to simplify the creation of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) on monochromatic OLED displays utilizing the SSD1306 driver. This library provides a flexible framework for constructing scenes and drawing various interactive widgets, enabling users to develop intuitive user interfaces even within the constrained resources of these displays.

Scene Creation - Planet096 introduces the concept of scenes, similar to Android activities, allowing developers to manage different UI screens efficiently.
Widget Variety - The library offers an array of widgets such as bottom menu bars, progress bars, buttons, label texts, scrollable text areas, adjustable sliders, selectable lists, check boxes, and radio buttons, among others.
Dependency on Adafruit_SSD1306 - Planet096 builds upon the foundation of the widely-used Adafruit_SSD1306 library, making it easier to integrate into existing projects.

"Hello, world!" Example

Planet096 restrictively discourages the use of traditional setup() and loop() in Arduino, hence the app() function. The app() function is closely similar to the main() function of common programming languages.

#include <planet096.h>

void app() {
    Planet096Scene scene("Example");
    scene.setAppBarAlignment(PLANET096_APPBAR_ALIGN_CENTER);
    scene.setAppBarStyle(PLANET096_APPBAR_NORMAL);

    scene.setSceneMenuStyle(PLANET096_SCENE_MENU_BUTTONS);
    scene.setSceneMenu("Back", "Set", "Ok");

    Planet096Text text(&scene, "Hello, world!");
    text.setLocation(26, 14);

    scene.setMainWidget(createWidget(&text));
    Planet096App::start(scene);
}

Additionaly, the library incorporates the Android app's activity concept. However, in Planet096, the activities are called scenes, so to speak, which can act as panels or pages of an Arduino application. As shown on the examples, the code above renders an application bar, simple menus at the bottom, and a hello text positioned at the center.
