Hello, Nuklear is graphical user interface toolkit written in ANSI C. It’s a single header library written in C89 (ANSI C), with small codebase (~18kLOC) It’s focussed on portability, efficiency and simplicity and have no dependencies. Documentation is available at https://rawgit.com/vurtun/nukl…

It’s not hard to generate Julia bindings using Clang.jl, but those backends need to be reimplemented in Julia. Since the codebase is small, should we reimplement everything in Julia? or is it possible to do a source-to-source translation using Clang.jl?

GLFW.jl , SimpleDirectMediaLayer.jl exists and seems to be maintained. SFML.jl , DirectX.jl and Xlib.jl are currently broken for Julia 0.7/1.0 Not sure about current status of a Julia GDI and a Julia liballeg (Allegro) wrapper.

FYI, imgui also has c-bindings: [image] GitHub - cimgui/cimgui: c-api for imgui (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) ... c-api for imgui (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) Look at: https://github.com/cimgui for other widgets - GitHub - cimgui/cimgui: c-api for imgui (https://github.c…

I’ve registered a package for nuklear: https://github.com/JuliaLang/METADATA.jl/pull/20455 [image] GitHub - Gnimuc/Nuklear.jl: Julia wrapper for nuklear Julia wrapper for nuklear. Contribute to Gnimuc/Nuklear.jl development by creating an account on GitHub.

Thanks @Gnimuc Great news ! I will give it a try. Maybe you should make a post at https://discourse.julialang.org/c/community/packages

Currently, it still has some limitations(e.g. cannot call vararg APIs) and I feel like it’s not very convenient to work with nuklear in Julia, for example, ctx->style.button.normal = nk_style_item_color(nk_rgb(40,40,40)); is easy in C, but when we do this in Julia either by pure pointer arithmetic o…

Very nice @Gnimuc . Would it be possible to have an example that displays an image, and/or a rgb uint8 array?

yep, but I need to implement this backend function firstly: vurtun/nuklear/blob/69a2d50c9b7c4fd60e40db67cf3f8bc1d5e474d1/demo/glfw_opengl4/nuklear_glfw_gl4.h#L264-L290 nk_glfw3_create_texture(const void* image, int width, int height) { GLuint…

I noticed in README SFML(pending upstream) SDL(pending upstream) Working on SFML.jl is required I did some months ago https://github.com/zyedidia/SFML.jl/pull/51/files but more work seems to be required to pass continuous integration. Any help is welcome !
