VARIATION UI

Variation-ui is single-header terminal user interface library. Written in ansi-c. Simple to use, easy to learn and has small codebase. Also updatable thanks to MIT license (Look license if you want to know more).

If you don't need widget, then there's a lite version of this library. It's also optimized and simplified and contains no widgets. Variation Lite UI

Dependencies:

• gcc > Gnu Compiler Collection
• make > Gnu Make

You can install with package managers for linux.

Important Note

You need to define #define VN_UI_IMPLEMENTATION before #include "vn_ui.h"

#define VN_UI_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "vn_ui.h"

Example

#include <stdio.h>

#define VN_UI_IMPLEMENTATION
#define VN_COLOR
#define VN_WIDGET
#include "vn_ui.h"

int main()
{
  struct vn_init vn;
  vn.width = 60;
  vn.height = 5;
  vn.pos_x = 2;
  vn.pos_y = 2;

  struct vnc_color white;
  struct vnc_color black;
  
  white.is_fore = 0;
  white.color = vn_hex_color("e9e9e9", white.is_fore);
  black.is_fore = 1;
  black.color = vn_rgb_color(22, 22, 22, black.is_fore);
  
  char* msg = "This is the example. If you had a trouble please leave an issue to https://github.com/hanilr/variation/issues have fun!";
  
  vn_clear();
  vn_label(vn.pos_x, vn.pos_y, vn.width, vn.height, black.color, white.color, text_italic, msg);
  vn_end(vn);

  return 0;
}
