fenetre is a pure Rust-based GUI library that uses winit, softbuffer, and tiny-skia to create and manage windows.

An application using fenetre consists of windows, such an MainApp, Label, Button, LineEdit, etc. and layouts, such as RowLayout, BorderLayout, etc. Layouts can contain nested layout, providing a means to create complex displays.

Cross-platform

fenetre does not contain any platform-specific code, but it has only been tested under Linux.

Usage

Each application contains a MainApp window which contains all of the other windows and layout that comprise the application. The MainApp window has a BorderLayout layout. An application creates a layout for its components, sets the contents of that layout, and then sets the contents of the MainApp by calling its set_contents() function.

See the examples sub-directory for examples applications that use fenetre.

Examples

simple_window

Demonstrates how to create an application with a main window.

editor

This example application is a simple text editor.

image_viewer

Demonstrates displaying a scaled image in a window as well as the full-sized version of the same image in a pop-up window which is scrollable.

Custom Windows and Layouts

To assist in creating custom windows and layouts, two template files exist, child_window_template.txt and layout_template.txt. These templates contain default implementations of all of the traits that must be implemented.
