**raygui is a simple and easy-to-use immediate-mode-gui library.**
`raygui` was originally inspired by [Unity IMGUI](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GUIScriptingGuide.html) (immediate mode GUI API).
`raygui` was designed as an auxiliar module for [raylib](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib) to create simple GUI interfaces using raylib graphic style (simple colors, plain rectangular shapes, wide borders...) but it can be adapted to other engines/frameworks.
`raygui` is intended for **tools development**; it has already been used to develop [multiple published tools](https://raylibtech.itch.io).
<br>
**WARNING: Latest `raygui` from master branch is always aligned with latest `raylib` from master branch. Make sure to use the appropiate versions.**
**WARNING: Master branch now contains raygui 4.0-dev, it is an API-BREAKING redesign from previous versions (3.x), now all functions are more consistent and coherent, you can read the details about this breaking change in issue [283](https://github.com/raysan5/raygui/issues/283)**
## features
- **Immediate-mode gui, no retained data**
- **+25** controls provided (basic and advanced)
- Powerful **styling system** for colors, font and metrics
- Standalone usage mode supported (for other graphic libs)
- **Icons support**, embedding a complete 1-bit icons pack
- Multiple **tools** provided for raygui development

## raygui styles
`raygui` comes with a [default](styles/default) style automatically loaded at runtime:
![raygui default style](styles/default/style_table.png)
Some additional styles are also provided for convenience, just check [styles directory](styles) for details:
![raygui additional styles](images/raygui_style_table_multi.png)
Custom styles can also be created very easily using [rGuiStyler](https://raylibtech.itch.io/rguistyler) tool.
Styles can be loaded at runtime using raygui `GuiLoadStyle()` function. Simple and easy-to-use.
## raygui icons
`raygui` supports custom icons, by default, a predefined set of icons is provided inside `raygui` as an array of binary data; it contains **256 possible icons** defined as **16x16 pixels** each; each pixel is codified using **1-bit**. The total size of the array is `2048 bytes`.

To use any of those icons just prefix the *#iconId#* number to **any text** written within `raygui` controls:
```c
if (GuiButton(rec, "#05#Open Image")) { /* ACTION */ }
```
It's also possible to use the provided `GuiIconText()` function to prefix it automatically, using a clearer identifier (defined in `raygui.h`).
```c
if (GuiButton(rec, GuiIconText(RICON_FILE_OPEN, "Open Image"))) { /* ACTION */ }
```
Provided set of icons can be reviewed and customized using [rGuiIcons](https://raylibtech.itch.io/rguiicons) tool.

## building
`raygui` is intended to be used as a portable single-file header-only library, to be directly integrated into any C/C++ codebase but some users could require a shared/dynamic version of the library, for example, to create bindings:
- **Windows (MinGW, GCC)**
```
copy src/raygui.h src/raygui.c
gcc -o src/raygui.dll src/raygui.c -shared -DRAYGUI_IMPLEMENTATION -DBUILD_LIBTYPE_SHARED -static-libgcc -lopengl32 -lgdi32 -lwinmm -Wl,--out-implib,src/librayguidll.a
```
- **Windows (MSVC)**
```
copy src\raylib.h src\raylib.c
cl /O2 /I../raylib/src/ /D_USRDLL /D_WINDLL /DRAYGUI_IMPLEMENTATION /DBUILD_LIBTYPE_SHARED src/raygui.c /LD /Feraygui.dll /link /LIBPATH ../raylib/build/raylib/Release/raylib.lib /subsystem:windows /machine:x64
```
- **Linux (GCC)**
```
mv src/raygui.h src/raygui.c
gcc -o raygui.so src/raygui.c -shared -fpic -DRAYGUI_IMPLEMENTATION -lraylib -lGL -lm -lpthread -ldl -lrt -lX11
```
- **Mac (clang, homebrew installed raylib)**
```
cp src/raygui.h src/raygui.c
brew install raylib
gcc -o raygui.dynlib src/raygui.c -shared -fpic -DRAYGUI_IMPLEMENTATION -framework OpenGL -lm -lpthread -ldl $(pkg-config --libs --cflags raylib)
```
