xgui.js

Some simple gui stuff to try and make js experimentation a bit easier.

The idea is to be able to quickly set up a bunch of sliders, knobs, colorPickers, etc. and bind the values of these to objects or functions.

It gives you a bunch of gui stuff, like these (old one here):

Basic usage

Download the minified js file and include it in your html.

<script src="xgui.min.js"></script>

This code creates a "xgui" and adds it to the document.body, makes a HSlider, binds some properties of a testObject.

<script>

	var testObject = { x:0, y:0 };

	var gui = new xgui();
	document.body.appendChild( gui.getDomElement() );

	var slider = new gui.HSlider( {x:10, y:10, value: 0, min:-100, max:100} );
	slider.value.bind(testObject, "x", "y");

</script>

So when you drag the slider testObject.x and testObject.y will be set to the value of the slider.

More examples to come. For now look in /examples/testbed.html and /examples/testbed_touch.html for some idea of how to use it. Some examples where I used it: Dragon Curve, Balls Box2d, Drum machine

Inspiration came from similar stuff for OpenFrameworks, like this.

It currently includes these elements: HSlider, VSlider, Label, RadioButton, RadioButtonGroup, CheckBox, Knob, ColorPicker, ColorPicker2, ColorPicker3, TrackPad, Button, ImageButton, Graph, Stepper, InputText, DropDown, Matrix, RangeSlider, Joystick, CircularSlider, Scrollwheel.

History

r2 - Multitouch should now work across Android, iOS and Windows 8.x. Plus various platform specific bugfixes. Added CircularSlider, Scrollwheel and ColorPicker3. Added methods for: onResize, disableEvents, enableEvents and dispose.

r1 - Made it touch friendly, so multitouch should hopefully work(Tested on Nexus 4/7). Added Joystick, like an analog stick. Fixed various bugs and stuff.

r0 - Initial version.
