Egui

An immediate mode GUI library written in Rust. Works anywhere you can draw textured triangles.

Goals:

Lightweight
Short, conveniant syntax
Responsive (60 Hz without breaking a sweat)
Portable
Platform independent (the same code works on the web and as a native app)

How it works:

Loop:

Gather input: mouse, touches, screen size, ...
Run application code (Immediate Mode GUI)
Output is a triangle mesh
Render with e.g. OpenGL

Available backends:

Wherever you can render textured triangles you can use Egui.

WebAssembly (egui_wasm) for making a web app. Click to run.
Glium for native apps (see example_glium).

The same application code can thus be compiled to either into a native app or a web app.

Demos

State

Alpha state. It works, but is somewhat incomplete.

Features:

Labels
Buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons and sliders
Horizontal or vertical layout
Column layout
Collapsible headers (sections)
Windows
Resizable regions
Vertical scolling
Simple text input
Anti-aliased rendering of circles, rounded rectangles and lines.

Conventions

All coordinates are screen space coordinates, in locial "points" (which may consist of many physical pixels).
All colors have premultiplied alpha

Inspiration

The one and only Dear ImGui is a great Immediate Mode GUI for C++ which works with many backends. That library revolutionized how I think about GUI code from something I hated to do to something I now like to do.

Name

The name of the gui library is "Egui", written like that in text and as egui in code and pronounced as "e-gooey".

The library used to be called Emigui, which is why it is still hosted at github.com/emilk/emigui. If you like, emigui is the collection of helper crates that surrounds egui, while egui is the actual GUI library.
