MatLib

MatLib is a simple and easy to use UI Library that allows you to make Material VGUIs easily and hassle free.

So, what can I do with this?

You can create your entire VGUI, but instead of the usual 200-300 lines you might have, you might only need about 30. MatLib allows you to make almost everything with a simple function and also allows you to change colors, ect.

Example

-- Creates a frame and has an example text inside it.

-- MatLib.Frame(posX[-1 for center], posY[-1 for center], width, height, title)
local frame = MatLib.Frame(-1, -1, ScrW() * 0.5, ScrH() * 0.5, "Example Frame")
-- MatLib.Text(parentItem, posX, posY, text)
MatLib.Text(frame, frame:GetWide() * 0.1, frame:GetTall() * 0.2, "This is an example frame with example text!")

It's about as easy as that. If you need any more help, you can view cl_example.lua and get more insight into it.

Images

Here's some images of how the UI looks.

Can I Use this?

Anyone is free to use this. If you're re-distributing it (In an addon per-say), please credit me. You can also use this for Gmodstore/Paid addons if you so wish.
