nanogui ~hi_dpi

What is it?

D port of nanogui

The port is incomplete - not all widgets are ported, but all ported widgets are fully usable.

There is difference with origin. For example:

• instead of const references passing by value is used
• as a color and vector implementation gfm.math is used (in origin eigen used as a vector implementation and own implementation of color type)
• no locking on glfw, instead two backends are available - arsd.simpledisplay (no external dependencies) and SDL2 (depends on SDL2 library obviously), SDL backend is more developed than arsd one (due to lack of time). Other backend like glfw, sfml etc can be easily added, nanogui is agnostic to underlying layer.

Install dependencies

On Ubuntu and debian based Linux run this command to install system dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev

Cloning source

git clone https://github.com/drug007/nanogui.git

Examples

Directory examples contains two packages, providing examples for arsd and sdl backends. To run example cd to corresponding directory and run dub command. For example:

cd examples/sdl
dub

SDL2 based example is more advanced (due to lack of time).
