A tiny, portable, immediate-mode UI library written in ANSI C
- Tiny: around
1100 slocof ANSI C - Works within a fixed-sized memory region: no additional memory is allocated
- Built-in controls: window, scrollable panel, button, slider, textbox, label, checkbox, wordwrapped text
- Works with any rendering system that can draw rectangles and text
- Designed to allow the user to easily add custom controls
- Simple layout system
if (mu_begin_window(ctx, "My Window", mu_rect(10, 10, 140, 86))) { mu_layout_row(ctx, 2, (int[]) { 60, -1 }, 0); mu_label(ctx, "First:"); if (mu_button(ctx, "Button1")) { printf("Button1 pressed\n"); } mu_label(ctx, "Second:"); if (mu_button(ctx, "Button2")) { mu_open_popup(ctx, "My Popup"); } if (mu_begin_popup(ctx, "My Popup")) { mu_label(ctx, "Hello world!"); mu_end_popup(ctx); } mu_end_window(ctx); }

The library expects the user to provide input and handle the resultant drawing commands, it does not do any drawing itself.
The library is designed to be lightweight, providing a foundation to which you can easily add custom controls and UI elements; pull requests adding additional features will likely not be merged. Bug reports are welcome.
