Pietro Gagliardi 9b27e12cfc Made the small caps stuff ineffective on page 9. We'll be removing it from FontDescriptor shortly.		2016-04-15 14:09:14 -04:00
_wip	More NSTextView work.	2015-12-08 21:09:23 -05:00
_wiptable	Began the work to list font families. This is the first of the text rendering work.	2015-12-22 19:01:56 -05:00
build	Missed a spot in the previous commit.	2016-01-20 03:14:49 -05:00
common	Set up the new Unix build. Now to do the OS X build.	2015-12-11 18:37:15 -05:00
darwin	Dropped uiDrawTextGravity. That has to do with vertical text, which we can both abstract into a higher level API and can't do yet because DirectWrite simply does not support vertical text on Windows 7 for reasons that escape logical thought.	2016-04-15 00:24:27 -04:00
doc	More Core Text stuff.	2016-01-11 19:34:42 -05:00
examples	Fixed the controlgallery example. Reenabled it in make examples. Changed .travis.yml to build the test first.	2016-01-06 19:38:27 -05:00
haiku	Set up saner handling of sonames at build time.	2016-01-05 11:51:36 -05:00
test	Made the small caps stuff ineffective on page 9. We'll be removing it from FontDescriptor shortly.	2016-04-15 14:09:14 -04:00
unix	Dropped uiDrawTextGravity. That has to do with vertical text, which we can both abstract into a higher level API and can't do yet because DirectWrite simply does not support vertical text on Windows 7 for reasons that escape logical thought.	2016-04-15 00:24:27 -04:00
windows	Removed the small caps checkbox from the new font dialog. It turns out that the small caps in DirectWrite is applied to a text layout, not a part of a font like it is elsewhere. Do we even still need the custom font dialog?	2016-04-15 13:57:26 -04:00
.travis.yml	Fixed the controlgallery example. Reenabled it in make examples. Changed .travis.yml to build the test first.	2016-01-06 19:38:27 -05:00
GNUmakefile	Two important changes to the Windows build:	2016-01-19 16:40:00 -05:00
LICENSE	Split into a new repository and added a LICENSE.	2015-04-16 20:31:11 -04:00
README.md	Quick formatting fix in the README.	2016-01-04 19:03:34 -05:00
TODO.md	More TODOs.	2016-01-28 01:42:12 -05:00
buildnotes	More commit stuff.	2016-01-04 16:00:16 -05:00
ui.h	Dropped uiDrawTextGravity. That has to do with vertical text, which we can both abstract into a higher level API and can't do yet because DirectWrite simply does not support vertical text on Windows 7 for reasons that escape logical thought.	2016-04-15 00:24:27 -04:00
ui_darwin.h	Added C++ extern guards.	2015-11-16 10:55:44 -05:00
ui_haiku.hpp	Wrote up the event handling code for Haiku.	2015-11-20 11:45:04 -05:00
ui_unix.h	Entering Valhalla.	2015-11-17 10:46:58 -05:00
ui_windows.h	Added C++ extern guards.	2015-11-16 10:55:44 -05:00

README.md

libui: a portable GUI library for C

This README is being written.

Runtime Requirements

Windows: Windows Vista SP2 with Platform Update or newer
Unix: GTK+ 3.4 or newer
Mac OS X: OS X 10.7 or newer

Build Requirements

All platforms:
- GNU make 3.81 or newer (Xcode comes with this; on Windows you will need to get it yourself)
Windows: Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 or newer
- This may be reduced to 2010 if necessary.
- MinGW is currently unsupported. MinGW-w64 support will be re-added once the following features come in:
  - Isolation awareness
  - Linker symbols for some functions such as TaskDialog() (which I thought I submitted...)
Unix: nothing specific
Mac OS X: nothing specific, so long as you can build Cocoa programs

(TODO write some notes on make variables and cross-compiling)

Documentation

Needs to be written. Consult ui.h and the examples for details for now.
