digitalmars.D.announce - DlangUI project update

reply "Vadim Lopatin" <coolreader.org gmail.com> writes:
Hello!

DlangUI project is alive and under active development.

https://github.com/buggins/dlangui

Recent changes:
- new controls: ScrollWidget, TreeView, ComboBox, ...
- new dialogs: FileOpenDialog, MessageBox
- a lot of bugfixes
- performance improvements in software renderer
- killer app: new example - Tetris game :)

Try Demos:

     git clone https://github.com/buggins/dlangui.git
     cd dlangui

     dub run dlangui:example1 --build=release

     dub run dlangui:tetris --build=release

DlangUI is cross-platform GUI library written in D.
Main features:
- cross platform: uses SDL for linux/macos, Win32 API or SDL for 
Windows
- hardware acceleration: uses OpenGL for drawing when built with 
version USE_OPENGL
- easy to extend: since it's native D library, you can add your 
own widgets and extend functionality
- Unicode and internationalization support
- easy to customize UI - look and feel can be changed using 
themes and styles
- API is a bit similar to Android - two phase layout, styles

Screenshots (a bit outdated): 
http://buggins.github.io/dlangui/screenshots.html

See project page for details.

I would like to get any feedback.
Will be glad to see advises, bug reports, feature requests.

Best regards,
      Vadim

 From time to time I see some people asking for GUI over here, and 
this could be an answer to that. For what I can see from the 
screenshot this seems to be very promising.

PS: For anyone, is there a place where users can find projects 
like this by topics?

Shame on me! I've been using D for almost 2 years for my own 
projects and believe or not, although I have heard about DUB I 
didn't know about this site. (Until now when I  needed something 
I looked on google... then going to the github project page etc).

After you posted the url above I went on the dlang.org and I 
found the link at "Third Party Packages", which currently doesn't 
appears when I'm in forum.dlang.org!

Maybe I'm not too much observer but I think this this have more 
emphasis on the main page.

Thanks,

Matheus.

Greetings, great work so far!
So I have trouble building the project, error code is here:
http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/8953d39ee3f5
I've been only using "dub" to build the project with only a 
skeleton package with dlangui listed as a dependency.
I've been using ldc and dmd with no avail. Can you please help me?

Could you please share your helloworld.d, dub.json and directory 
structure?

For me, running of embedded examples working:
     dub fetch --cache=local dlangui
     cd dlangui-0.1.15
     dub run dlangui:tetris
     dub run dlangui:helloworld

DUB 0.9.22 which is available for download is a bit outdated - 
doesn't allow to copy directories with copyFiles (use newer dub 
with my pull request merged to avoid manual copying of resource 
directory.

Sample standalone project which can be used as reference is 
dlanguiide:
Try
     git clone https://github.com/buggins/dlangide.git
     cd dlangide
     dub run

If it does work, something is wrong with your project.
If helloworld.d is replaced with usual D helloworld content, does 
it build and run?

Now path in FileDialog is shown as segments like on Win 7 - 
clicking on segment moves to directory, clicking on arrow after 
segments opens popup with subdirs inside directory. Clicking on 
right space of path control opens editor for path.

Sorry it took so long, installing dub-git took so long with my 
net speed.
Runnung dub run dlangui:tetris got me this error code:
http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/0cf2b2476a85
I think the hello world mentioned in the error is the one inside 
the dlangui directory.
My project is only the one made by dub init <package-name>.

Could you post error log?
It's either in stderr output or in file ui.log



What is your OS?

There is known problem with fonts.
For linux, font paths are hardcoded (there is a ticket to 
implement FontConfig based font list).
For Mac, it will not find

Temporary workaround: register some fonts manually:
// get free type font manager access
auto ft = cast(FreeTypeFontManager)FontManager.instance;
// register some fonts like
ft.registerFont("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf", 
FontFamily.SansSerif, "DejaVu", false, FontWeight.Normal);

I'm using Arch Linux x64, as for the linux font paths problem, 
where should I put it? I've never really begun using dlangui, 
I've just been trying to build an empty project with it as its 
dependency.

And I don't really know how to access the stderr nor did I find 
any ui.log
Though this is the result of "dub run dlangui:tetris -v"

It looks like DUB suppresses stderr output.
You can try
     dub build dlangui:tetris --build=debug
then run it manually
     examples/tetris/bin/tetris
You will see log messages on console

As well, you can redirect them to file:
     examples/tetris/bin/tetris 2> ui.log
Then check ui.log


I've tested under Ubuntu/x64 only.
Probably, there is no DejaVuSans.ttf in
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
or it's located in different location under Arch.

If you provide paths to some .ttf fonts under Arch, I can prepare 
quick fix with such hardcoded paths.

The path to fonts in Archlinux is:
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf

and running the example lead to a seg fault.
I ran the gdb(with ddd) on it and it points to

It worked! Thank you very much.
Though I listed dlangui:dlanguilib as a dependency in my project 
rather than dlangui itself since the hello world started coming 
up again.
Anyway thank you for your hard work! Looking forward to playing 
with this.

Don't know why you're getting that, but SharedLibVersion is, 
IIRC, a relatively new thing in derelict, so it's probably that 
something is looking at an older version than it should.

 Hello!

 DlangUI project is alive and under active development.

 https://github.com/buggins/dlangui

 Recent changes:
 - new controls: ScrollWidget, TreeView, ComboBox, ...
 - new dialogs: FileOpenDialog, MessageBox
 - a lot of bugfixes
 - performance improvements in software renderer
 - killer app: new example - Tetris game :)

 Try Demos:

     git clone https://github.com/buggins/dlangui.git
     cd dlangui

     dub run dlangui:example1 --build=release

     dub run dlangui:tetris --build=release

 DlangUI is cross-platform GUI library written in D.
 Main features:
 - cross platform: uses SDL for linux/macos, Win32 API or SDL 
 for Windows
 - hardware acceleration: uses OpenGL for drawing when built 
 with version USE_OPENGL
 - easy to extend: since it's native D library, you can add your 
 own widgets and extend functionality
 - Unicode and internationalization support
 - easy to customize UI - look and feel can be changed using 
 themes and styles
 - API is a bit similar to Android - two phase layout, styles

 Screenshots (a bit outdated): 
 http://buggins.github.io/dlangui/screenshots.html

 See project page for details.

 I would like to get any feedback.
 Will be glad to see advises, bug reports, feature requests.

 Best regards,
      Vadim

So you are going to use dlangui in win app?
Please let me know if you find any issues (better, file issue on 
github).
If some necessary widgets are missing, I can add them.

wow, now it works. it's look funny without images though.

btw, i have freeimage installed, but the loader wants to find
"FreeImage_ConvertToRGB16" function in it, which it seems to not even
use. that's the joy of Derelict: it loads everything whether, it needs
it or not.

ah, and another thing: freeimage sux for GNU/Linux. it looks completely
alien and no sane GUI software requires it. i didn't looked at the
code, but i hope that image loading is well abstracted in DlangUI? if
it is, i can try to write a loaders for png and jpg (jpg? in GUI? holy
heavens, why?!).

it's better to check if the system has the corresponding libraries with
corresponding versions (imlib2 rocks, for example), but i suppose that
dub cannot into configure checks, am i right?

Initially, I've used libpng for loading images.
But it is compatible only with some particular version of 
libpng.so
API version is passed somwhere in calls, and doesn't work with 
updated library.
I've tried to find some replacement for it, and found FreeImage 
(there was Derelict suport for it, and it was used in some D 
projects).
Probably, it makes sense to move to SDL_image. But it looks like 
it requires SDL as dependency.
Does it work ok on linux?
Let me check imlib2 as well.

Author here.
Devisualization.Image png support is not complete.
But should be fine for RGBA images.
Interlacing is not done, however should be pretty easy to implement. I 
just haven't really wrapped my head around how to do and undo Adam7.

There is much more complete implementations in e.g. ae with support for 
jpeg, bmp, tiff ext. However my reasons for Devisualization.Image is = 
less code to compile in. Highly scoped.

Does de_image support PNGs with more than 256 colors?
Does it support alpha?

Interlacing is not critical for usage in GUI resources - it's 
always possible to open interlaced image and save as 
non-interlaced.

Are you planning to separate import and export operations?
E.g. possibility to build read-only configuration of library to 
reduce code size?

I'm going to try de_image instead of FreeImage in dlangui.

It should support 8bit and 16bit sample (not RGB I mean just for e.g. R)[0].
I haven't really tested 16bit support however.

Yes

 possible to open interlaced image and save as non-interlaced.


Just so you know [1].

Currently there is no way to disable exporting.
Its honestly not much code extra, double roughly at most.


 I'm going to try de_image instead of FreeImage in dlangui.


Sweet sounds good.
Also if you don't mind looking into Devisualization.Window as well?
It would help get you on to OSX rather fast. Since it already supports it.

If there is anything you want help with or just general chat, feel free 
to ping me on gitter.im. All Devisualization projects especially the 
more complete ones have a conversation on there with me sitting in them.

it would be not that hard to write a native D png loader. and, maybe,
simplistic but working jpg loader, as we have jpegd and stb_image
libraries, which can be easily ported. bwah, i believe that i've seen
stb_image already ported.

it works ok... at least it was ok last time i checked. ;-)

it's a plugin-based image reading/writing library, with a very simple C
interface. it can use various libraries to read png, jpeg and so on.
not very popular, though.

 I've tried to find some replacement for it, and found 
 FreeImage


 There is http://code.dlang.org/packages/dlib which includes

 "dlib.image - image processing (filters, color correction, 
 FFT, HDRI, graphics formats I/O, support for 8 and 16-bit RGBA 
 buffers and floating point operations)"


 Thanks! I will try it.


DLIB works perfectly for me.
I've removed FreeImage dependency from dlangui completely.

Some objections:
JPEG reading from master branch is working, but unaccessible from 
tagged version.
Two warnings in jpeg.d prevent using dub build from master branch.
     dlib/image/io/jpeg.d(76): Warning: use '{ }' for an empty 
statement, not a ';'
     dlib/image/io/jpeg.d(259): Warning: statement is not reachable
When file format is not supported, image loader fails assertion. 
Why not return null or throw exception? It's not feasible.
It will be great if dlib with JPEG reading support is released!

Temporary disabling JPEG support.

Image interface provides access to pixels as float point rgba 
only.
Double conversion occurs when I'm getting data.
Are there any plans to provide some interface to read data as 
integers? E.g. 8bitRGBA.

As well I've tried de_image (can be used instead of dlib if built 
with version=USE_DEIMAGE).
RGBA PNGs are being loaded ok.
BW pngs cannot be read - author is working on fix.
No JPEG support - it would be great if author could add it in 
future.
Will keep checking the progress of de_image development.

It's reproduced with new DUB (newer that 0.9.22 available for 
download on code.dlang.org).

I've disabled de_image dependency so far (dlangui v0.1.22) to fix 
this problem.

yes. Slackware GNU/Linux, x86, nVidia GT8600, proprietary nVidia

aliasing looks like this. my eyes bleeding when i looking at
antialiased fonts. i either can turn that stupid thing off, or the

i read that you planning fontconfig support, so please just don't
forget about aliasing and hinting options. there are some people that
prefer to switch antialiasing off and turn full hinting on, as this is
the best settings for free microsoft "core fonts for the web" set (or

Font antialiasing and hinting options settings are implemented.
Currently can be set from code, e.g. in beginning of UIAppMain 
(see example1 main.d):
     // you can override default hinting mode here (Normal, 
AutoHint, Disabled)
     FontManager.instance.hintingMode = HintingMode.Normal;
     // you can override antialiasing setting here (0 means 
antialiasing always on, some big value = always off)
     // fonts with size less than specified value will not be 
antialiased
     FontManager.instance.minAnitialiasedFontSize = 0; // 0 means 
always antialiased

Great work. I left the idea to make GUI apps with D since a while 
but your project almost conviced me to give another try. I don't 
like the other options (GtkD, the other based on java things, the 
one based on tcl). It looks like the native GUI framework a lot 
of people are expecting. DQuick had my interest too but it seems 
that it's dormant since a small year now.

DDOC generates ugly unusable output.

DDOX is much better. But I cannot figure out how to embed custom

dub --build=ddox produces pages with only navigation by generated

Ho do I add custom pages, with links to them from documentation

It looks like ddox ignores .dd files from project.

DlangUI is designed to be easy embeddable.
You will need to implement Window and Platform to wrap key and 
mouse events,
and call drawing of widgets above OpenGL scene.

Is there any good game framework for D?
I can try to make a wrapper to use dlangui widgets inside such 
framework.

Is there any chance of supporting user-supplied rendering primitives?
If this were a library that lived above some application supplied
rendering primitives, then I could make use of this.

What rendering primitives are required? Pixel buffers? Any vertex
processing happening? Text I imagine is a tough one...

Not sure what do you mean under user supplied rendering 
primitives.

If you want to render UI into custom rendering buffer, you can 
define DrawBuf based class.
It requires following drawing primitives to be implemented:
- fill whole buffer with solid color
- fill rectangle with solid color
- draw font glyph (8 bit alpha image)
- draw 32 bit RGBA image

If your app is OpenGL based, there is already GLDrawBuf wich 
draws into opengl.

As well, UI can be drawn in ColorDrawBuf - 32bit RGBA buffer - 
and then transferred to your surface.

For embedding into third party framework, dlangui needs external 
mouse and key events translated into its own events.

 - easy to extend: since it's native D library, you can add your 
 own widgets and extend functionality
 - Unicode and internationalization support
 - easy to customize UI - look and feel can be changed using 
 themes and styles
 - API is a bit similar to Android - two phase layout, styles

 Screenshots (a bit outdated): 
 http://buggins.github.io/dlangui/screenshots.html

 See project page for details.

 I would like to get any feedback.
 Will be glad to see advises, bug reports, feature requests.

 Best regards,

Sorry,

I've reproduced this issue with dub 0.9.22
It looks like some bug in DUB - it cannot find source files from 
referenced package.
It worked for me for newer dub - built from mainstream branch 
near middle of December.

Submitted fix - list of win32 files into each subproject 
(example1, tetris).

Now it should build ok with dub 0.9.22 on Windows

Project update:

* A lot of bugs fixed

* Project documentation is now generated by ddox: 
http://buggins.github.io/dlangui/ddox
* Updated screenshots

* Font antialiasing and hinting settings
* New classes for toolbars, dockable UI
* Improvements in editors
* SourceEditor - supports line number display and syntax highlight

DlangIDE project is in progress.

https://github.com/buggins/dlangide

It's D IDE based on DlangUI.

Early alpha stage. Mainly useful as DlangUI demo, and for 
development of new functionality required for building of apps 
like IDE.

Can open sample workspace with two projects (dub.json only). Can 
browse projects and open source files in editor tabs.


First screenshot from 
http://buggins.github.io/dlangui/screenshots.html


Current activity: syntax highlight implementation
Next step: implement DUB based builder

DlangIDE status Update:
Syntax highlight for D source is working.
It's just highlight based on token types. No advanced features 
like code completion, folding, etc.

Config ini is Quickly,if you don't know how to config a dub.json.
Building is quickly and easy : 'dco' in cmd.exe ,then ok.
It's easy to get a win32.exe ,not a exe on console.

It's suitable for an IDE: file.d, matching file.res, if it exists 
then add a -J...no problem.

Done.

Standard resources are embedded into executable by default.

When your application uses custom resources, you can embed 
resources into executable and/or specify external resource 
directory(s).

To embed resources, put them into views/res directory, and create 
file views/resources.list with list of all files to embed.

Use following code to embed resources:

----
/// entry point for dlangui based application
extern (C) int UIAppMain(string[] args) {

     // embed non-standard resources listed in 
views/resources.list into executable
     
embeddedResourceList.addResources(embedResourcesFromList!("resources.list")());

     ...
----

Resource list resources.list file may look similar to following:

----
res/i18n/en.ini
res/i18n/ru.ini
res/mdpi/cr3_logo.png
res/mdpi/document-open.png
res/mdpi/document-properties.png
res/mdpi/document-save.png
res/mdpi/edit-copy.png
res/mdpi/edit-paste.png
res/mdpi/edit-undo.png
res/mdpi/tx_fabric.jpg
res/theme_custom1.xml
----

As well you can specify list of external directories to get 
resources from.

----

/// entry point for dlangui based application
extern (C) int UIAppMain(string[] args) {
     // resource directory search paths
     string[] resourceDirs = [
         appendPath(exePath, "../../../res/"),   // for Visual D 
and DUB builds
         appendPath(exePath, "../../../res/mdpi/"),   // for 
Visual D and DUB builds
         appendPath(exePath, "../../../../res/"),// for Mono-D 
builds
         appendPath(exePath, "../../../../res/mdpi/"),// for 
Mono-D builds
         appendPath(exePath, "res/"), // when res dir is located 
at the same directory as executable
         appendPath(exePath, "../res/"), // when res dir is 
located at project directory
         appendPath(exePath, "../../res/"), // when res dir is 
located at the same directory as executable
         appendPath(exePath, "res/mdpi/"), // when res dir is 
located at the same directory as executable

When same file exists in both embedded and external resources, 
one from external resource directory will be used - it's useful 
for developing
and testing of resources.

As well, it's no more required to set theme and language in 
UIAppMain if you don't want to change default values.

 Hello!

 DlangUI project is alive and under active development.

Update:

Resources are now being embedded into executable by default. 
(External resources files are still available - useful for 
resource/theme development).

For better fonts quality, subpixel antialiasing (aka ClearType) 
was implemented.
Working ok for non-OpenGL rendering of FreeType and Win32 fonts.
Still cannot get it working of OpenGL rendering (trying to play 
with shaders and glBlendFunc).
