dlangUI

GUI for D programming language, written in D.

  • Crossplatform (Win32 and Linux are supported in current version)
  • Mostly inspired by Android UI API
  • Hardware acceleration using OpenGL (when built with USE_OPENGL)
  • Fallback to Win32 API / XCB when OpenGL is not available

Win32 builds

Under windows, uses Win32 API as backend. Optionally, may use OpenGL acceleration via DerelictGL3/WGL. Uses Win32 API for font rendering. Optinally can use FreeType for font rendering.

Linux builds

Uses XCB (X C binding) as backend. Uses shared memory images for faster drawing. Uses FreeType for font rendering. TODO: Use FontConfig to get font list. TODO: OpenGL initializes ok, but images not visible on screen. Disabled temporary.

Third party components used:

  • DerelictGL3 - for OpenGL support
  • DerelictFT - FreeType library support under linux and optionally under Windows.
  • DerelictFI - FreeImage library support for decoding of images
