Code samples

React to button click:

button.on_activated.connect([this]() {
    do_something();    
});

Mirror text from a text input field in a text label somewhere else:

input.on_text_changed.connect([this](const std::string& text) {
    text_label.set_text(text);
});

Construct a relative layout:

using Constraint = lgui::RelativeLayout::Constraint;
lgui::RelativeLayout layout;
layout.add_item(bt1, { {Constraint::AlignParentTop} });
layout.add_item(bt2, { {Constraint::AlignLeft,  bt1}, {Constraint::Below, bt1} });
layout.add_item(bt3, { {Constraint::RightOf,    bt2}, {Constraint::Below, bt2} });
layout.add_item(bt4, { {Constraint::AlignRight, bt3}, {Constraint::Below, bt3},
                       {Constraint::AlignParentBottom } });
layout.add_item_ltrb(big_button, 0.7, 0.3, 0.9, 0.4);
container.set_layout(&layout);

Dependencies

You need to have Allegro5 and CMake installed; for the documentation, doxygen is needed as well.

The documentation has to be generated explicitly by issuing the make doc command from within your build directory.

Feel free to report any issues you might have. Or fix them right away ;) -- pull requests are welcome.
