LEGUI - What is it?

GUI implementation for using with LWJGL3.

This gui library made for using with OpenGL port (LWJGL) to allow programmers fast and easy integrate user interface to their OpenGL apps written in Java or Kotlin.
API is close to Swing API.

Examples

Contribution to LEGUI

See the contribution guide for more information.

System requirements

LEGUI requires Java 11+.

OpenGL state touched by the backend

Default renderer made on top of NanoVG which touches following states:

When textures are uploaded or updated, the following pixel store is set to defaults: GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH, GL_UNPACK_SKIP_PIXELS , GL_UNPACK_SKIP_ROWS. Texture binding is also affected. Texture updates can happen when the user loads images, or when new font glyphs are added. Glyphs are added as needed start and end of render() method.

The data for the whole frame is buffered and flushed in end of rendering. The following code illustrates the OpenGL state touched by the rendering code:

	glUseProgram(prog);
	glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
	glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE);
	glCullFace(GL_BACK);
	glFrontFace(GL_CCW);
	glEnable(GL_BLEND);
	glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
	glDisable(GL_SCISSOR_TEST);
	glColorMask(GL_TRUE, GL_TRUE, GL_TRUE, GL_TRUE);
	glStencilMask(0xffffffff);
	glStencilOp(GL_KEEP, GL_KEEP, GL_KEEP);
	glStencilFunc(GL_ALWAYS, 0, 0xffffffff);
	glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
	glBindBuffer(GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER, buf);
	glBindVertexArray(arr);
	glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, buf);
	glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, tex);
	glUniformBlockBinding(... , GLNVG_FRAG_BINDING);

Usage

Dependencies

Add dependency repo

For using this library you should add these urls as repositories:
For LWJGL and JOML dependencies
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/ - for snapshots
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/ - for releases
Also you can add your own versions of these libraries using LWJGL form.

For LEGUI and CBCHAIN dependency
https://raw.github.com/SpinyOwl/repo/releases

And add this dependency to your build script:

Add dependency (Maven):

<!-- LEGUI - https://github.com/SpinyOwl/legui -->
<dependency>
   <groupId>com.spinyowl</groupId>
   <artifactId>legui</artifactId>
   <version>${legui_version}</version>
</dependency>

Add dependency (Gradle):

// LEGUI - https://github.com/SpinyOwl/legui
compile group: 'com.spinyowl', name: 'legui', version: "${legui_version}";

Demos:

All examples located under demo package.
