A simple gui to generate a window and allow plotting. Great for quick debugging and drawing of data.

Magnum gives easy opengl support.

Make sure to clone the submodules too.

git submodule init git submodule update

Corrade
Magnum
magnum-integration
imgui * cloned into src/MagnumExternal/ImGui directory add implot and implot3

Linux dependencies

Build with the make deps and make make sure to add a LD_LIBRARY_PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/you/programs/simple-magnum-gui/.deps/usr/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} to find the libraries

Windows dependencies

Use vpckg to install other dependencies. vcpkg

Make sure you are in classic mode and install

1. SDL2
2. Freetype
3. libjpeg-turbo

make sure to add the dll libraries to path

$env:PATH="C:\Users\you\programs\simple-magnum-gui.deps\usr\bin;$env:PATH"

and SDL2 from vcpkg

$env:PATH="C:\Users\you\programs\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\bin;$env:PATH"

legacy dependencies

These are encapsulated into the dependencies directory.
The cmake commands are implemented in shell script wrappers in the scripts directory. FYI both of the above scripts install to ~/.local.

utilizing the library

Gui uses a naive callback system to enable different systems. See the examples

• Start the gui window with GuiBase
• create a DrawCallback
  • set your static callback function with prototype int callback_function(void* data);
  • set any events (mouse move, mouse scroll, key press) with the relevant prototypes
  • set your data
• add the callback to your guibase object
• run your game loop and call the gui function mainLoopIteration
