Miniboxtk examples

All examples are implemented using the sdl2 backend only, to keep the initialization sequence simple. You will need sdl2 installed to run the examples, or you will need to tweak the initialization sequence for using a different backend.

The default Makefile in these examples work from miniboxtk source and do not require miniboxtk installed.

Your application will need to depend on installed miniboxtk and will need to do four things for different backend initializations:

• use the right -l, e.g. -lmbtk_glfw
• use the right #include, e.g. #include &lgt;libmbtk/backend/glfw.h>
• call the right backend initializer function, e.g. mbtk_glfw_backend()
• initialize the default font according to the backend's needs (sdl2 and glfw need ttf while xlib needs X font)

(Example on this at the bottom.)

Examples

Getting started

• hello world
• layout: using boxes (hbox/vbox)
• layout: tbl (tabular)

Basic widgets

• rim
• menu
• tabbed
• pane
• textedit
• combo box

Advanced

• runtime hide/show widgets
• canvas: generic, backend-independent vector graphics
• canvas_native: backend-specific vector graphics
• menu built non-sequentially
• load style props from a text file to redefine UI colors to dark

Example for installed libmbtk

Applications should depend on libmbtk installed on the system. See the installed version of the getting started hello world example.
