Emigui

(Experimental, Modularized Immediate mode Graphical User Interface)

An immediate mode GUI library written in Rust. For web apps or native apps.

Goals:

  • Easy to use
  • Platform independent (the same code works on the web and as a native app)
  • Responsive

How it works:

Loop:

  • Gather input: mouse, touches, screen size, ...
  • Run application code (Immediate Mode GUI)
  • Output is a triangle mesh
  • Render with e.g. OpenGL

Available backends:

Wherever you can render textured triangles you can use Emigui.

Currently two backends have been tested:

  • WebAssembly (emigui_wasm) for making a web app
  • Glium for native apps (see example_glium).

The same application code can thus be compiled to either into a native app or a web app.

Demos

State

Mostly a tech demo at this point. I hope to find time to work more on this in the future.

Features:

  • Text
  • Buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons and sliders
  • Horizontal or vertical layout
  • Column layout
  • Collapsible headers (sections)
  • Anti-aliased rendering of circles, rounded rectangles and lines.

Roadmap:

  • Turn the Glium backend into a library
  • Some examples and documentation
  • Text input

Inspiration

Dear ImGui is a great Immediate Mode GUI for C++ which works with many backends.
