TachyonUI is a C++20 GUI library for tools and editors: build the UI each frame in code, and the library keeps the state, lays it out with flexbox and grid, and draws it.
- Building: what you need, cloning, building, and the CMake options.
- Running the showcase and tests: the showcase, the examples and the test suites.
The guides live with the code, so they always match the version you have:
| Guide | |
|---|---|
| Overview | The application, the frame, IDs, Begin and End, units, errors |
| Controls | Every control, with its signature and an example |
| CSS | The selectors and properties the themes use |
| Integration | Adding the library to a build, runtime files, your own Vulkan device, window backend or loop |
| Examples | Walkthroughs of the example programs and the showcase |
The API reference has the guides together with every header's documentation, grouped by topic.
