Revision as of 07:41, 3 Haziran 2023

Plutonium is a high-level, C++ graphical library with the aim of making UIs in a more simple, user-friendly way.

It uses libnx and SDL2, so both libraries are required.

To be more exact, this libraries should be installed via pacman:

switch-sdl2 switch-sdl2_ttf switch-sdl2_image switch-sdl2_gfx switch-sdl2_mixer switch-mesa switch-glad switch-glm switch-libdrm_nouveau switch-libwebp switch-libpng switch-freetype switch-bzip2 switch-libjpeg-turbo switch-opusfile switch-libopus

User guide

Plutonium internally uses SDL2 for UI rendering.

Plutonium's API is based on WPF/WinForms's system. The user doesn't directly interact with the rendering, as it's done via a main rendering system and different objects to render.

Check the basic example for a basic usage of the libraries. In case you want to see a really powerful app which really shows what Plutonium is capable of, take a look at Goldleaf, uLaunch or many other homebrew apps made using this libraries.

Check the readme and documentation for a more detailed explanation of the library's usage.

Changelog

v0.2.1 2019/03/24

Elements:
- When moving among Menu items, going upper than the top element will move to the latest element, ang going down on the latest one will start at the top.
Examples:
- Added two new examples: GlobalInputs and Dialogs.

v0.2 2019/03/23

Rendering:
- The internal application rendering system has slightly changed to improve dialogs' rendering, which has also changed some rendering callbacks for elements.
- New functions have been added into SDL2-based rendering system, mostly related to round shapes.
Dialogs have been redesigned, without the old fullscreen, round shapes. Now the right joystick allows fast moving among options, and all the margins and sizes are automatically computed.
Elements:
- Rounded shapes have been added, now applying to progress bars and dialogs.
- Some element destructors have been fixed and/or improved.
Added a WIP focus system, which is barely untested:
- It's based in Windows's focus system with UI elements.
- Only an element has focus, and focus is changed via touch or R-Stick, based on stick directions.
- As said it's WIP, so might not work as expected. By default elements don't use the focus system.

v0.1 2018/12/29

As everything is new, I would suggest to read the documentation or the README for more details.
Have fun making nice UIs.
