# GuiLite - The smallest GUI library      - [中文](README_zh.md) - [Features](#Features) - [Start with Demo](#Start-with-Demo) - [Documents](#Documents) - [How to Learn?](#How-to-Learn) - [Videos](#Videos) - [🙏Thanks & ❤️Charity](#Thanks-and-Charity) *** ## Introduction GuiLite is the smallest GUI library with 5000 lines of code, could run on **all platforms**(e.g, iOS, Android, Linux, Windows, macOS, Docker and MCU without OS), and work with **many languages**(e.g. Swift, Java, Javascript, C#, Golang). - ✂️Small: 5,000 lines of C++ code, could be merged into 1 header & 1 source file(GuiLite.h/GuiLite.cpp) - Easy to [build & port](doc/HowToBuild.md) - ⚡Fast: Render GUI within one invoking, independent of any OS and any third party library - Make GUI run quickly and smoothly - 💉Inject: Run inside Qt/MFC/Winform/Cocoa/Web - Keep Qt/MFC code reusable, and speed it up by local GuiLite-optimization - ⚙️️Hardware Minimum Requirment: | Processor | Disk/ROM space | Memory | | --- | --- | --- | | 24 MHZ | 29 KB | 9 KB | ## 🔥New feature：Inject GuiLite Samples into 3D Web -  - Run GuiLite Samples[(HelloParticle, HelloWave)](https://gitee.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples#mcu-demos-hello-star--hello-particle--hello-wave--hello-notouch--hello-mario--hello-3d) on Web and 3D scenario - [Source code](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteWeb/blob/master/CubeEx/main.js) ## Features ### Cross platform | ARM Linux | STM32 Without OS | | --- | --- | |  |   | | Windows Mixed Reality | Android | | --- | --- | |  |  | | macOS | iOS | | --- | --- | |  |  | *** ### GuiLite previewer(WYSIWYG extension for GuiLite) [GuiLite Previewer](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLitePreviewer) is a Visual Studio Code extension, could extract GUI information from C++ code and preview GUI at preview page(What you see is what you get)  *** ### Gorgeous UI  *** ### Multi-language:  *** ### IoT Solution & Code Telemetry - Report build activities to cloud:
 - Sync running data to cloud:
 *** ### Support Docker We build GuiLite demo as docker image, you can update/deploy/run the latest GuiLite demo on your device with single command below: - `sudo docker run -it --privileged -v /dev:/dev-share idea4good/gui-lite:latest bash /run.sh` *** ## Start with Demo GuiLite is only a framework, could not create UI by itself. In order to show how to build UI App with it, We provide some samples for you. - Sample code [here](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples). - Sample introduction: | Sample name | Platform | Description | Build guidance | Diffculty level | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | HelloParticle | Windows, Linux, STM32F103, STM32F429 | Show how to develop particle effect | [Build](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples/blob/master/HelloParticle/README.md) | ★ | | HelloStar | Windows, Linux, STM32F103, STM32F429 | Show how to develop star field effect | [Build](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples/blob/master/HelloStar/README.md) | ★ | | Hello3D | Windows, Linux, STM32F103 | Show how to build physics App with GuiLite | [Build](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples/blob/master/Hello3D/README.md) | ★★ | | HelloGuiLite | Windows, Linux | Show how to Initialize UI, load resource, layout UI | [Build](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples/blob/master/HelloGuiLite/README.md) | ★★ | | HelloWidgets | Windows, Linux | Show how to use GuiLite widgets | [Build](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples/blob/master/HelloWidgets/README.md) | ★★ | | HelloMario | Windows, Linux, STM32F103, STM32F429 | Show how to develop multi-layer UI system | [Build](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples/blob/master/HelloMario/README.md) | ★★ | | HelloNavigation | Windows, Linux, STM32F103, STM32F429 | Show how to navigate/click widgets by hard button in non-touch GUI scenario | [Build](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples/blob/master/HelloNavigation/README.md) | ★★| | HelloFont | Windows, Linux | Show how to use multi-language feature(UTF-8) | [Build](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples/blob/master/HelloFont/README.md) | ★★ | | HelloAnimation | Windows, Linux | Show how to make animation | [Build](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples/blob/master/HelloAnimation/README.md) | ★★ | | HelloSlide | Windows, Linux | Show how to use sliding pages | [Build](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples/blob/master/HelloSlide/README.md) | ★★★ | | HelloWave | Windows, Linux, STM32F103, STM32F429 | Show how to use wave widget | [Build](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples/blob/master/HelloWave/README.md) | ★★★ | | HostMonitor | iOS, Mac, Android, Windows, Linux | Show how to build complex UI for all platforms | [Build](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples/blob/master/HostMonitor/README.md) | ★★★★ | ## Documents GuiLite is the smallest and simplest GUI library. 1. Just 5,000 line C++ code 2. Only use basic C++ feature(class, virtual function), no complex syntax 3. All rendering base on draw_pixel, no algorithm 4.
