## About
This is a minimal state immediate mode graphical user interface toolkit
written in ANSI C and licensed under public domain. It was designed as a simple
embeddable user interface for application and does not have any dependencies,
a default renderbackend or OS window and input handling but instead provides a very modular
library approach by using simple input state for input and draw
commands describing primitive shapes as output. So instead of providing a
layered library that tries to abstract over a number of platform and
render backends it only focuses on the actual UI.
## Highlights
- Graphical user interface toolkit
- Single header library
- Written in C89 (a.k.a. ANSI C or ISO C90)
- Small codebase (~18kLOC)
- Focus on portability, efficiency and simplicity
- No dependencies (not even the standard library if not wanted)
- Fully skinnable and customizable
- Low memory footprint with total memory control if needed or wanted
- UTF-8 support
- No global or hidden state
- Customizable library modules (you can compile and use only what you need)
- Optional font baker and vertex buffer output
## Features
- Absolutely no platform dependent code
- Memory management control ranging from/to
- Ease of use by allocating everything from standard library
- Control every byte of memory inside the library
- Font handling control ranging from/to
- Use your own font implementation for everything
- Use this libraries internal font baking and handling API
- Drawing output control ranging from/to
- Simple shapes for more high level APIs which already have drawing capabilities
- Hardware accessible anti-aliased vertex buffer output
- Customizable colors and properties ranging from/to
- Simple changes to color by filling a simple color table
- Complete control with ability to use skinning to decorate widgets
- Bendable UI library with widget ranging from/to
- Basic widgets like buttons, checkboxes, slider, ...
- Advanced widget like abstract comboboxes, contextual menus,...
- Compile time configuration to only compile what you need
- Subset which can be used if you do not want to link or use the standard library
- Can be easily modified to only update on user input instead of frame updates
## Usage
This library is self contained in one single header file and can be used either
in header only mode or in implementation mode. The header only mode is used
by default when included and allows including this header in other headers
and does not contain the actual implementation. <br /><br />
The implementation mode requires to define the preprocessor macro
NK_IMPLEMENTATION in *one* .c/.cpp file before #includeing this file, e.g.:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~C
#define NK_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "nuklear.h"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also optionally define the symbols listed in the section "OPTIONAL DEFINES"
below in header and implementation mode if you want to use additional functionality
or need more control over the library.
!!! WARNING
Every time nuklear is included define the same compiler flags. This very important not doing so could lead to compiler errors or even worse stack corruptions.
### Flags
Flag | Description
--------------------------------|------------------------------------------
NK_PRIVATE | If defined declares all functions as static, so they can only be accessed inside the file that contains the implementation
NK_INCLUDE_FIXED_TYPES | If defined it will include header `<stdint.h>` for fixed sized types otherwise nuklear tries to select the correct type. If that fails it will throw a compiler error and you have to select the correct types yourself.
NK_INCLUDE_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR | If defined it will include header `<stdlib.h>` and provide additional functions to use this library without caring for memory allocation control and therefore ease memory management.
NK_INCLUDE_STANDARD_IO | If defined it will include header `<stdio.h>` and provide additional functions depending on file loading.
NK_INCLUDE_STANDARD_VARARGS | If defined it will include header <stdio.h> and provide additional functions depending on file loading.
NK_INCLUDE_VERTEX_BUFFER_OUTPUT | Defining this adds a vertex draw command list backend to this library, which allows you to convert queue commands into vertex draw commands. This is mainly if you need a hardware accessible format for OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan, Metal,...
NK_INCLUDE_FONT_BAKING | Defining this adds `stb_truetype` and `stb_rect_pack` implementation to this library and provides font baking and rendering. If you already have font handling or do not want to use this font handler you don't have to define it.
NK_INCLUDE_DEFAULT_FONT | Defining this adds the default font: ProggyClean.ttf into this library which can be loaded into a font atlas and allows using this library without having a truetype font
NK_INCLUDE_COMMAND_USERDATA | Defining this adds a userdata pointer into each command. Can be useful for example if you want to provide custom shaders depending on the used widget. Can be combined with the style structures.
NK_BUTTON_TRIGGER_ON_RELEASE | Different platforms require button clicks occurring either on buttons being pressed (up to down) or released (down to up). By default this library will react on buttons being pressed, but if you define this it will only trigger if a button is released.
NK_ZERO_COMMAND_MEMORY | Defining this will zero out memory for each drawing command added to a drawing queue (inside nk_command_buffer_push). Zeroing command memory is very useful for fast checking (using memcmp) if command buffers are equal and avoid drawing frames when nothing on screen has changed since previous frame.
NK_UINT_DRAW_INDEX | Defining this will set the size of vertex index elements when using NK_VERTEX_BUFFER_OUTPUT to 32bit instead of the default of 16bit
!!! WARNING
The following flags will pull in the standard C library:
- NK_INCLUDE_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR
- NK_INCLUDE_STANDARD_IO
- NK_INCLUDE_STANDARD_VARARGS
!!! WARNING
The following flags if defined need to be defined for both header and implementation:
- NK_INCLUDE_FIXED_TYPES
- NK_INCLUDE_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR
- NK_INCLUDE_STANDARD_VARARGS
- NK_INCLUDE_VERTEX_BUFFER_OUTPUT
- NK_INCLUDE_FONT_BAKING
- NK_INCLUDE_DEFAULT_FONT
- NK_INCLUDE_STANDARD_VARARGS
- NK_INCLUDE_COMMAND_USERDATA
- NK_UINT_DRAW_INDEX
### Constants
Define | Description
--------------------------------|---------------------------------------
NK_BUFFER_DEFAULT_INITIAL_SIZE | Initial buffer size allocated by all buffers while using the default allocator functions included by defining NK_INCLUDE_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR. If you don't want to allocate the default 4k memory then redefine it.
NK_MAX_NUMBER_BUFFER | Maximum buffer size for the conversion buffer between float and string Under normal circumstances this should be more than sufficient.
NK_INPUT_MAX | Defines the max number of bytes which can be added as text input in one frame. Under normal circumstances this should be more than sufficient.
!!! WARNING
The following constants if defined need to be defined for both header and implementation:
- NK_MAX_NUMBER_BUFFER
- NK_BUFFER_DEFAULT_INITIAL_SIZE
- NK_INPUT_MAX
### Dependencies
Function | Description
------------|---------------------------------------------------------------
NK_ASSERT | If you don't define this, nuklear will use <assert.h> with assert().
NK_MEMSET | You can define this to 'memset' or your own memset implementation replacement. If not nuklear will use its own version.
NK_MEMCPY | You can define this to 'memcpy' or your own memcpy implementation replacement. If not nuklear will use its own version.
NK_SQRT | You can define this to 'sqrt' or your own sqrt implementation replacement. If not nuklear will use its own slow and not highly accurate version.
NK_SIN | You can define this to 'sinf' or your own sine implementation replacement. If not nuklear will use its own approximation implementation.
NK_COS | You can define this to 'cosf' or your own cosine implementation replacement. If not nuklear will use its own approximation implementation.
NK_STRTOD | You can define this to `strtod` or your own string to double conversion implementation replacement. If not defined nuklear will use its own imprecise and possibly unsafe version (does not handle nan or infinity!).
NK_DTOA | You can define this to `dtoa` or your own double to string conversion implementation replacement. If not defined nuklear will use its own imprecise and possibly unsafe version (does not handle nan or infinity!).
NK_VSNPRINTF| If you define `NK_INCLUDE_STANDARD_VARARGS` as well as `NK_INCLUDE_STANDARD_IO` and want to be safe define this to `vsnprintf` on compilers supporting later versions of C or C++. By default nuklear will check for your stdlib version in C as well as compiler version in C++. if `vsnprintf` is available it will define it to `vsnprintf` directly. If not defined and if you have older versions of C or C++ it will be defined to `vsprintf` which is unsafe.
!!! WARNING
The following dependencies will pull in the standard C library if not redefined:
- NK_ASSERT
!!! WARNING
The following dependencies if defined need to be defined for both header and implementation:
- NK_ASSERT
!!! WARNING
The following dependencies if defined need to be defined only for the implementation part:
- NK_MEMSET
- NK_MEMCPY
- NK_SQRT
- NK_SIN
- NK_COS
- NK_STRTOD
- NK_DTOA
- NK_VSNPRINTF

## API
### Context
Contexts are the main entry point and the majestro of nuklear and contain all required state.
They are used for window, memory, input, style, stack, commands and time management and need
to be passed into all nuklear GUI specific functions.
#### Usage
To use a context it first has to be initialized which can be achieved by calling
one of either `nk_init_default`, `nk_init_fixed`, `nk_init`, `nk_init_custom`.
Each takes in a font handle and a specific way of handling memory. Memory control
hereby ranges from standard library to just specifying a fixed sized block of memory
which nuklear has to manage itself from.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_xxx(&ctx, ...);
while (1) {
// [...]
nk_clear(&ctx);
}
nk_free(&ctx);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#### Reference
Function | Description
--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------
__nk_init_default__ | Initializes context with standard library memory allocation (malloc,free)
__nk_init_fixed__ | Initializes context from single fixed size memory block
__nk_init__ | Initializes context with memory allocator callbacks for alloc and free
__nk_init_custom__ | Initializes context from two buffers. One for draw commands the other for window/panel/table allocations
__nk_clear__ | Called at the end of the frame to reset and prepare the context for the next frame
__nk_free__ | Shutdown and free all memory allocated inside the context
__nk_set_user_data__| Utility function to pass user data to draw command
#### nk_init_default
Initializes a `nk_context` struct with a default standard library allocator.
Should be used if you don't want to be bothered with memory management in nuklear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
int nk_init_default(struct nk_context *ctx, const struct nk_user_font *font);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Parameter | Description
------------|---------------------------------------------------------------
__ctx__ | Must point to an either stack or heap allocated `nk_context` struct
__font__ | Must point to a previously initialized font handle for more info look at font documentation
Returns either `false(0)` on failure or `true(1)` on success.
#### nk_init_fixed
Initializes a `nk_context` struct from single fixed size memory block
Should be used if you want complete control over nuklear's memory management.
Especially recommended for system with little memory or systems with virtual memory.
For the later case you can just allocate for example 16MB of virtual memory
and only the required amount of memory will actually be committed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
int nk_init_fixed(struct nk_context *ctx, void *memory, nk_size size, const struct nk_user_font *font);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!!! Warning
make sure the passed memory block is aligned correctly for `nk_draw_commands`.

Returns either `false(0)` on failure or `true(1)` on success.
#### nk_init
Initializes a `nk_context` struct with memory allocation callbacks for nuklear to allocate
memory from. Used internally for `nk_init_default` and provides a kitchen sink allocation
interface to nuklear. Can be useful for cases like monitoring memory consumption.

#### nk_init_custom
Initializes a `nk_context` struct from two different either fixed or growing
buffers. The first buffer is for allocating draw commands while the second buffer is
used for allocating windows, panels and state tables.

__data__ | Handle with either pointer or index to be passed into every draw commands
### Input
The input API is responsible for holding the current input state composed of
mouse, key and text input states.
It is worth noting that no direct OS or window handling is done in nuklear.
Instead all input state has to be provided by platform specific code. This on one hand
expects more work from the user and complicates usage but on the other hand
provides simple abstraction over a big number of platforms, libraries and other
already provided functionality.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
nk_input_begin(&ctx);
while (GetEvent(&evt)) {
if (evt.type == MOUSE_MOVE)
nk_input_motion(&ctx, evt.motion.x, evt.motion.y);
else if (evt.type == [...]) {
// [...]
}
} nk_input_end(&ctx);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#### Usage
Input state needs to be provided to nuklear by first calling `nk_input_begin`
which resets internal state like delta mouse position and button transistions.
After `nk_input_begin` all current input state needs to be provided. This includes
mouse motion, button and key pressed and released, text input and scrolling.
Both event- or state-based input handling are supported by this API
and should work without problems. Finally after all input state has been
mirrored `nk_input_end` needs to be called to finish input process.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_xxx(&ctx, ...);
while (1) {
Event evt;
nk_input_begin(&ctx);
while (GetEvent(&evt)) {
if (evt.type == MOUSE_MOVE)
nk_input_motion(&ctx, evt.motion.x, evt.motion.y);
else if (evt.type == [...]) {
// [...]
}
}
nk_input_end(&ctx);
// [...]
nk_clear(&ctx);

### Drawing
This library was designed to be render backend agnostic so it does
not draw anything to screen directly. Instead all drawn shapes, widgets
are made of, are buffered into memory and make up a command queue.
Each frame therefore fills the command buffer with draw commands
that then need to be executed by the user and his own render backend.
After that the command buffer needs to be cleared and a new frame can be
started. It is probably important to note that the command buffer is the main
drawing API and the optional vertex buffer API only takes this format and
converts it into a hardware accessible format.
#### Usage
To draw all draw commands accumulated over a frame you need your own render
backend able to draw a number of 2D primitives. This includes at least
filled and stroked rectangles, circles, text, lines, triangles and scissors.
As soon as this criterion is met you can iterate over each draw command
and execute each draw command in a interpreter like fashion:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
const struct nk_command *cmd = 0;
nk_foreach(cmd, &ctx) {
switch (cmd->type) {
case NK_COMMAND_LINE:
your_draw_line_function(...)
break;
case NK_COMMAND_RECT
your_draw_rect_function(...)
break;
case //...:
//[...]
}
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In program flow context draw commands need to be executed after input has been
gathered and the complete UI with windows and their contained widgets have
been executed and before calling `nk_clear` which frees all previously
allocated draw commands.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_xxx(&ctx, ...);
while (1) {
Event evt;
nk_input_begin(&ctx);
while (GetEvent(&evt)) {
if (evt.type == MOUSE_MOVE)
nk_input_motion(&ctx, evt.motion.x, evt.motion.y);
else if (evt.type == [...]) {
[...]
}
}
nk_input_end(&ctx);
//
// [...]
//
const struct nk_command *cmd = 0;
nk_foreach(cmd, &ctx) {
switch (cmd->type) {
case NK_COMMAND_LINE:
your_draw_line_function(...)
break;
case NK_COMMAND_RECT
your_draw_rect_function(...)
break;
case ...:
// [...]
}
nk_clear(&ctx);
}
nk_free(&ctx);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You probably noticed that you have to draw all of the UI each frame which is
quite wasteful. While the actual UI updating loop is quite fast rendering
without actually needing it is not. So there are multiple things you could do.
First is only update on input. This of course is only an option if your
application only depends on the UI and does not require any outside calculations.
If you actually only update on input make sure to update the UI two times each
frame and call `nk_clear` directly after the first pass and only draw in
the second pass. In addition it is recommended to also add additional timers
to make sure the UI is not drawn more than a fixed number of frames per second.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_xxx(&ctx, ...);
while (1) {
// [...wait for input ]
// [...do two UI passes ...]
do_ui(...)
nk_clear(&ctx);
do_ui(...)
//
// draw
const struct nk_command *cmd = 0;
nk_foreach(cmd, &ctx) {
switch (cmd->type) {
case NK_COMMAND_LINE:
your_draw_line_function(...)
break;
case NK_COMMAND_RECT
your_draw_rect_function(...)
break;
case ...:
//[...]
}
nk_clear(&ctx);
}
nk_free(&ctx);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The second probably more applicable trick is to only draw if anything changed.
It is not really useful for applications with continuous draw loop but
quite useful for desktop applications. To actually get nuklear to only
draw on changes you first have to define `NK_ZERO_COMMAND_MEMORY` and
allocate a memory buffer that will store each unique drawing output.
After each frame you compare the draw command memory inside the library
with your allocated buffer by memcmp. If memcmp detects differences
you have to copy the command buffer into the allocated buffer
and then draw like usual (this example uses fixed memory but you could
use dynamically allocated memory).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
//[... other defines ...]
#define NK_ZERO_COMMAND_MEMORY
#include "nuklear.h"
//
// setup context
struct nk_context ctx;
void *last = calloc(1,64*1024);
void *buf = calloc(1,64*1024);
nk_init_fixed(&ctx, buf, 64*1024);
//
// loop
while (1) {
// [...input...]
// [...ui...]
void *cmds = nk_buffer_memory(&ctx.memory);
if (memcmp(cmds, last, ctx.memory.allocated)) {
memcpy(last,cmds,ctx.memory.allocated);
const struct nk_command *cmd = 0;
nk_foreach(cmd, &ctx) {
switch (cmd->type) {
case NK_COMMAND_LINE:
your_draw_line_function(...)
break;
case NK_COMMAND_RECT
your_draw_rect_function(...)
break;
case ...:
// [...]
}
}
}
nk_clear(&ctx);
}
nk_free(&ctx);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally while using draw commands makes sense for higher abstracted platforms like
X11 and Win32 or drawing libraries it is often desirable to use graphics
hardware directly. Therefore it is possible to just define
`NK_INCLUDE_VERTEX_BUFFER_OUTPUT` which includes optional vertex output.
To access the vertex output you first have to convert all draw commands into
vertexes by calling `nk_convert` which takes in your preferred vertex format.
After successfully converting all draw commands just iterate over and execute all
vertex draw commands:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
// fill configuration
struct your_vertex
{
float pos[2]; // important to keep it to 2 floats
float uv[2];
unsigned char col[4];
};
struct nk_convert_config cfg = {};
static const struct nk_draw_vertex_layout_element vertex_layout[] = {
{NK_VERTEX_POSITION, NK_FORMAT_FLOAT, NK_OFFSETOF(struct your_vertex, pos)},
{NK_VERTEX_TEXCOORD, NK_FORMAT_FLOAT, NK_OFFSETOF(struct your_vertex, uv)},
{NK_VERTEX_COLOR, NK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8, NK_OFFSETOF(struct your_vertex, col)},
{NK_VERTEX_LAYOUT_END}
};
cfg.shape_AA = NK_ANTI_ALIASING_ON;
cfg.line_AA = NK_ANTI_ALIASING_ON;
cfg.vertex_layout = vertex_layout;
cfg.vertex_size = sizeof(struct your_vertex);
cfg.vertex_alignment = NK_ALIGNOF(struct your_vertex);
cfg.circle_segment_count = 22;
cfg.curve_segment_count = 22;
cfg.arc_segment_count = 22;
cfg.global_alpha = 1.0f;
cfg.null = dev->null;
//

### Window
Windows are the main persistent state used inside nuklear and are life time
controlled by simply "retouching" (i.e. calling) each window each frame.
All widgets inside nuklear can only be added inside the function pair `nk_begin_xxx`
and `nk_end`. Calling any widgets outside these two functions will result in an
assert in debug or no state change in release mode.<br /><br />
Each window holds frame persistent state like position, size, flags, state tables,
and some garbage collected internal persistent widget state. Each window
is linked into a window stack list which determines the drawing and overlapping
order. The topmost window thereby is the currently active window.<br /><br />
To change window position inside the stack occurs either automatically by
user input by being clicked on or programmatically by calling `nk_window_focus`.
Windows by default are visible unless explicitly being defined with flag
`NK_WINDOW_HIDDEN`, the user clicked the close button on windows with flag
`NK_WINDOW_CLOSABLE` or if a window was explicitly hidden by calling
`nk_window_show`. To explicitly close and destroy a window call `nk_window_close`.<br /><br />
#### Usage
To create and keep a window you have to call one of the two `nk_begin_xxx`
functions to start window declarations and `nk_end` at the end. Furthermore it
is recommended to check the return value of `nk_begin_xxx` and only process
widgets inside the window if the value is not 0. Either way you have to call
`nk_end` at the end of window declarations. Furthermore, do not attempt to
nest `nk_begin_xxx` calls which will hopefully result in an assert or if not
in a segmentation fault.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
if (nk_begin_xxx(...) {
// [... widgets ...]
}
nk_end(ctx);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the grand concept window and widget declarations need to occur after input
handling and before drawing to screen. Not doing so can result in higher
latency or at worst invalid behavior. Furthermore make sure that `nk_clear`
is called at the end of the frame. While nuklear's default platform backends
already call `nk_clear` for you if you write your own backend not calling
`nk_clear` can cause asserts or even worse undefined behavior.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_xxx(&ctx, ...);
while (1) {
Event evt;
nk_input_begin(&ctx);
while (GetEvent(&evt)) {
if (evt.type == MOUSE_MOVE)
nk_input_motion(&ctx, evt.motion.x, evt.motion.y);
else if (evt.type == [...]) {
nk_input_xxx(...);
}
}
nk_input_end(&ctx);
if (nk_begin_xxx(...) {
//[...]
}
nk_end(ctx);
const struct nk_command *cmd = 0;
nk_foreach(cmd, &ctx) {
case NK_COMMAND_LINE:
your_draw_line_function(...)
break;
case NK_COMMAND_RECT
your_draw_rect_function(...)
break;
case //...:
//[...]
}
nk_clear(&ctx);
}
nk_free(&ctx);

### Layouting
Layouting in general describes placing widget inside a window with position and size.
While in this particular implementation there are five different APIs for layouting
each with different trade offs between control and ease of use. <br /><br />
All layouting methods in this library are based around the concept of a row.
A row has a height the window content grows by and a number of columns and each
layouting method specifies how each widget is placed inside the row.
After a row has been allocated by calling a layouting functions and then
filled with widgets will advance an internal pointer over the allocated row. <br /><br />
To actually define a layout you just call the appropriate layouting function
and each subsequent widget call will place the widget as specified. Important
here is that if you define more widgets then columns defined inside the layout
functions it will allocate the next row without you having to make another layouting <br /><br />
call.
Biggest limitation with using all these APIs outside the `nk_layout_space_xxx` API
is that you have to define the row height for each. However the row height
often depends on the height of the font. <br /><br />
To fix that internally nuklear uses a minimum row height that is set to the
height plus padding of currently active font and overwrites the row height
value if zero. <br /><br />
If you manually want to change the minimum row height then
use nk_layout_set_min_row_height, and use nk_layout_reset_min_row_height to
reset it back to be derived from font height. <br /><br />
Also if you change the font in nuklear it will automatically change the minimum
row height for you and. This means if you change the font but still want
a minimum row height smaller than the font you have to repush your value. <br /><br />
For actually more advanced UI I would even recommend using the `nk_layout_space_xxx`
layouting method in combination with a cassowary constraint solver (there are
some versions on github with permissive license model) to take over all control over widget
layouting yourself. However for quick and dirty layouting using all the other layouting
functions should be fine.
#### Usage
1. __nk_layout_row_dynamic__<br /><br />
The easiest layouting function is `nk_layout_row_dynamic`. It provides each
widgets with same horizontal space inside the row and dynamically grows
if the owning window grows in width. So the number of columns dictates
the size of each widget dynamically by formula:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
widget_width = (window_width - padding - spacing) * (1/colum_count)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just like all other layouting APIs if you define more widget than columns this
library will allocate a new row and keep all layouting parameters previously
defined.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
if (nk_begin_xxx(...) {
// first row with height: 30 composed of two widgets
nk_layout_row_dynamic(&ctx, 30, 2);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
//
// second row with same parameter as defined above
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
//
// third row uses 0 for height which will use auto layouting
nk_layout_row_dynamic(&ctx, 0, 2);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
}
nk_end(...);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. __nk_layout_row_static__<br /><br />
Another easy layouting function is `nk_layout_row_static`. It provides each
widget with same horizontal pixel width inside the row and does not grow
if the owning window scales smaller or bigger.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
if (nk_begin_xxx(...) {
// first row with height: 30 composed of two widgets with width: 80
nk_layout_row_static(&ctx, 30, 80, 2);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
//
// second row with same parameter as defined above
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
//
// third row uses 0 for height which will use auto layouting
nk_layout_row_static(&ctx, 0, 80, 2);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
}
nk_end(...);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. __nk_layout_row_xxx__<br /><br />
A little bit more advanced layouting API are functions `nk_layout_row_begin`,
`nk_layout_row_push` and `nk_layout_row_end`. They allow to directly
specify each column pixel or window ratio in a row. It supports either
directly setting per column pixel width or widget window ratio but not
both. Furthermore it is a immediate mode API so each value is directly
pushed before calling a widget. Therefore the layout is not automatically
repeating like the last two layouting functions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
if (nk_begin_xxx(...) {
// first row with height: 25 composed of two widgets with width 60 and 40
nk_layout_row_begin(ctx, NK_STATIC, 25, 2);
nk_layout_row_push(ctx, 60);
nk_widget(...);
nk_layout_row_push(ctx, 40);
nk_widget(...);
nk_layout_row_end(ctx);
//
// second row with height: 25 composed of two widgets with window ratio 0.25 and 0.75
nk_layout_row_begin(ctx, NK_DYNAMIC, 25, 2);
nk_layout_row_push(ctx, 0.25f);
nk_widget(...);
nk_layout_row_push(ctx, 0.75f);
nk_widget(...);
nk_layout_row_end(ctx);
//
// third row with auto generated height: composed of two widgets with window ratio 0.25 and 0.75
nk_layout_row_begin(ctx, NK_DYNAMIC, 0, 2);
nk_layout_row_push(ctx, 0.25f);
nk_widget(...);
nk_layout_row_push(ctx, 0.75f);
nk_widget(...);
nk_layout_row_end(ctx);
}
nk_end(...);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. __nk_layout_row__<br /><br />
The array counterpart to API nk_layout_row_xxx is the single nk_layout_row
functions. Instead of pushing either pixel or window ratio for every widget
it allows to define it by array. The trade of for less control is that
`nk_layout_row` is automatically repeating. Otherwise the behavior is the
same.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
if (nk_begin_xxx(...) {
// two rows with height: 30 composed of two widgets with width 60 and 40
const float size[] = {60,40};
nk_layout_row(ctx, NK_STATIC, 30, 2, ratio);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
//
// two rows with height: 30 composed of two widgets with window ratio 0.25 and 0.75
const float ratio[] = {0.25, 0.75};
nk_layout_row(ctx, NK_DYNAMIC, 30, 2, ratio);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
//
// two rows with auto generated height composed of two widgets with window ratio 0.25 and 0.75
const float ratio[] = {0.25, 0.75};
nk_layout_row(ctx, NK_DYNAMIC, 30, 2, ratio);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
}
nk_end(...);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5. __nk_layout_row_template_xxx__<br /><br />
The most complex and second most flexible API is a simplified flexbox version without
line wrapping and weights for dynamic widgets. It is an immediate mode API but
unlike `nk_layout_row_xxx` it has auto repeat behavior and needs to be called
before calling the templated widgets.
The row template layout has three different per widget size specifier. The first
one is the `nk_layout_row_template_push_static` with fixed widget pixel width.
They do not grow if the row grows and will always stay the same.
The second size specifier is `nk_layout_row_template_push_variable`
which defines a minimum widget size but it also can grow if more space is available
not taken by other widgets.
Finally there are dynamic widgets with `nk_layout_row_template_push_dynamic`
which are completely flexible and unlike variable widgets can even shrink
to zero if not enough space is provided.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
if (nk_begin_xxx(...) {
// two rows with height: 30 composed of three widgets
nk_layout_row_template_begin(ctx, 30);
nk_layout_row_template_push_dynamic(ctx);
nk_layout_row_template_push_variable(ctx, 80);
nk_layout_row_template_push_static(ctx, 80);
nk_layout_row_template_end(ctx);
//
// first row
nk_widget(...); // dynamic widget can go to zero if not enough space
nk_widget(...); // variable widget with min 80 pixel but can grow bigger if enough space
nk_widget(...); // static widget with fixed 80 pixel width
//
// second row same layout
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
nk_widget(...);
}
nk_end(...);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6. __nk_layout_space_xxx__<br /><br />
Finally the most flexible API directly allows you to place widgets inside the
window. The space layout API is an immediate mode API which does not support
row auto repeat and directly sets position and size of a widget. Position
and size hereby can be either specified as ratio of allocated space or
allocated space local position and pixel size. Since this API is quite
powerful there are a number of utility functions to get the available space
and convert between local allocated space and screen space.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
if (nk_begin_xxx(...) {
// static row with height: 500 (you can set column count to INT_MAX if you don't want to be bothered)
nk_layout_space_begin(ctx, NK_STATIC, 500, INT_MAX);
nk_layout_space_push(ctx, nk_rect(0,0,150,200));
nk_widget(...);
nk_layout_space_push(ctx, nk_rect(200,200,100,200));
nk_widget(...);
nk_layout_space_end(ctx);
//
// dynamic row with height: 500 (you can set column count to INT_MAX if you don't want to be bothered)
nk_layout_space_begin(ctx, NK_DYNAMIC, 500, INT_MAX);
nk_layout_space_push(ctx, nk_rect(0.5,0.5,0.1,0.1));
nk_widget(...);
nk_layout_space_push(ctx, nk_rect(0.7,0.6,0.1,0.1));
nk_widget(...);
}
nk_end(...);

### Groups
Groups are basically windows inside windows. They allow to subdivide space
in a window to layout widgets as a group. Almost all more complex widget
layouting requirements can be solved using groups and basic layouting
fuctionality. Groups just like windows are identified by an unique name and
internally keep track of scrollbar offsets by default. However additional
versions are provided to directly manage the scrollbar.
#### Usage
To create a group you have to call one of the three `nk_group_begin_xxx`
functions to start group declarations and `nk_group_end` at the end. Furthermore it
is required to check the return value of `nk_group_begin_xxx` and only process
widgets inside the window if the value is not 0.
Nesting groups is possible and even encouraged since many layouting schemes
can only be achieved by nesting. Groups, unlike windows, need `nk_group_end`
to be only called if the corosponding `nk_group_begin_xxx` call does not return 0:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
if (nk_group_begin_xxx(ctx, ...) {
// [... widgets ...]
nk_group_end(ctx);
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the grand concept groups can be called after starting a window
with `nk_begin_xxx` and before calling `nk_end`:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_xxx(&ctx, ...);
while (1) {
// Input
Event evt;
nk_input_begin(&ctx);
while (GetEvent(&evt)) {
if (evt.type == MOUSE_MOVE)
nk_input_motion(&ctx, evt.motion.x, evt.motion.y);
else if (evt.type == [...]) {
nk_input_xxx(...);
}
}
nk_input_end(&ctx);
//
// Window
if (nk_begin_xxx(...) {
// [...widgets...]
nk_layout_row_dynamic(...);
if (nk_group_begin_xxx(ctx, ...) {
//[... widgets ...]
nk_group_end(ctx);
}
}
nk_end(ctx);
//
// Draw
const struct nk_command *cmd = 0;
nk_foreach(cmd, &ctx) {
switch (cmd->type) {
case NK_COMMAND_LINE:
your_draw_line_function(...)
break;
case NK_COMMAND_RECT
your_draw_rect_function(...)
break;
case ...:
// [...]
}
}
nk_free(&ctx);

### Tree
Trees represent two different concept. First the concept of a collapsable
UI section that can be either in a hidden or visibile state. They allow the UI
user to selectively minimize the current set of visible UI to comprehend.
The second concept are tree widgets for visual UI representation of trees.<br /><br />
Trees thereby can be nested for tree representations and multiple nested
collapsable UI sections. All trees are started by calling of the
`nk_tree_xxx_push_tree` functions and ended by calling one of the
`nk_tree_xxx_pop_xxx()` functions. Each starting functions takes a title label
and optionally an image to be displayed and the initial collapse state from
the nk_collapse_states section.<br /><br />
The runtime state of the tree is either stored outside the library by the caller
or inside which requires a unique ID. The unique ID can either be generated
automatically from `__FILE__` and `__LINE__` with function `nk_tree_push`,
by `__FILE__` and a user provided ID generated for example by loop index with
function `nk_tree_push_id` or completely provided from outside by user with
function `nk_tree_push_hashed`.
#### Usage
To create a tree you have to call one of the seven `nk_tree_xxx_push_xxx`
functions to start a collapsable UI section and `nk_tree_xxx_pop` to mark the
end.
Each starting function will either return `false(0)` if the tree is collapsed
or hidden and therefore does not need to be filled with content or `true(1)`
if visible and required to be filled.
!!! Note
The tree header does not require and layouting function and instead
calculates a auto height based on the currently used font size
The tree ending functions only need to be called if the tree content is
actually visible. So make sure the tree push function is guarded by `if`
and the pop call is only taken if the tree is visible.

### Properties
Properties are the main value modification widgets in Nuklear. Changing a value
can be achieved by dragging, adding/removing incremental steps on button click
or by directly typing a number.
#### Usage
Each property requires a unique name for identifaction that is also used for
displaying a label. If you want to use the same name multiple times make sure
add a '#' before your name. The '#' will not be shown but will generate a
unique ID. Each propery also takes in a minimum and maximum value. If you want
to make use of the complete number range of a type just use the provided
type limits from `limits.h`. For example `INT_MIN` and `INT_MAX` for
`nk_property_int` and `nk_propertyi`. In additional each property takes in
a increment value that will be added or subtracted if either the increment
decrement button is clicked. Finally there is a value for increment per pixel
dragged that is added or subtracted from the value.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~c
int value = 0;
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_xxx(&ctx, ...);
while (1) {
// Input
Event evt;
nk_input_begin(&ctx);
while (GetEvent(&evt)) {
if (evt.type == MOUSE_MOVE)
nk_input_motion(&ctx, evt.motion.x, evt.motion.y);
else if (evt.type == [...]) {
nk_input_xxx(...);
}
}
nk_input_end(&ctx);

if (nk_begin_xxx(...) {
// Property
nk_layout_row_dynamic(...);
nk_property_int(ctx, "ID", INT_MIN, &value, INT_MAX, 1, 1);
}

- 2017/03/04 (1.34.1) - Fixed group closable flag
- 2017/02/25 (1.34.0) - Added custom draw command for better language binding support
- 2017/01/24 (1.33.0) - Added programatic way of remove edit focus
- 2017/01/24 (1.32.3) - Fixed wrong define for basic type definitions for windows
- 2017/01/21 (1.32.2) - Fixed input capture from hidden or closed windows
- 2017/01/21 (1.32.1) - Fixed slider behavior and drawing
- 2017/01/13 (1.32.0) - Added flag to put scaler into the bottom left corner
- 2017/01/13 (1.31.0) - Added additional row layouting method to combine both
dynamic and static widgets.
- 2016/12/31 (1.30.0) - Extended scrollbar offset from 16-bit to 32-bit
- 2016/12/31 (1.29.2)- Fixed closing window bug of minimized windows
- 2016/12/03 (1.29.1)- Fixed wrapped text with no seperator and C89 error
- 2016/12/03 (1.29.0) - Changed text wrapping to process words not characters
- 2016/11/22 (1.28.6)- Fixed window minimized closing bug
- 2016/11/19 (1.28.5)- Fixed abstract combo box closing behavior
- 2016/11/19 (1.28.4)- Fixed tooltip flickering
- 2016/11/19 (1.28.3)- Fixed memory leak caused by popup repeated closing
- 2016/11/18 (1.28.2)- Fixed memory leak caused by popup panel allocation
- 2016/11/10 (1.28.1)- Fixed some warnings and C++ error
- 2016/11/10 (1.28.0)- Added additional `nk_button` versions which allows to directly
pass in a style struct to change buttons visual.
- 2016/11/10 (1.27.0)- Added additional 'nk_tree' versions to support external state
storage. Just like last the `nk_group` commit the main
advantage is that you optionally can minimize nuklears runtime
memory consumption or handle hash collisions.
- 2016/11/09 (1.26.0)- Added additional `nk_group` version to support external scrollbar
offset storage. Main advantage is that you can externalize
the memory management for the offset. It could also be helpful
if you have a hash collision in `nk_group_begin` but really
want the name. In addition I added `nk_list_view` which allows
to draw big lists inside a group without actually having to
commit the whole list to nuklear (issue #269).
- 2016/10/30 (1.25.1)- Fixed clipping rectangle bug inside `nk_draw_list`
- 2016/10/29 (1.25.0)- Pulled `nk_panel` memory management into nuklear and out of
the hands of the user. From now on users don't have to care
about panels unless they care about some information. If you
still need the panel just call `nk_window_get_panel`.
- 2016/10/21 (1.24.0)- Changed widget border drawing to stroked rectangle from filled
rectangle for less overdraw and widget background transparency.
- 2016/10/18 (1.23.0)- Added `nk_edit_focus` for manually edit widget focus control
- 2016/09/29 (1.22.7)- Fixed deduction of basic type in non `<stdint.h>` compilation
- 2016/09/29 (1.22.6)- Fixed edit widget UTF-8 text cursor drawing bug
- 2016/09/28 (1.22.5)- Fixed edit widget UTF-8 text appending/inserting/removing
- 2016/09/28 (1.22.4)- Fixed drawing bug inside edit widgets which offset all text
text in every edit widget if one of them is scrolled.
- 2016/09/28 (1.22.3)- Fixed small bug in edit widgets if not active. The wrong
text length is passed. It should have been in bytes but
was passed as glyphes.
- 2016/09/20 (1.22.2)- Fixed color button size calculation
- 2016/09/20 (1.22.1)- Fixed some `nk_vsnprintf` behavior bugs and removed
`<stdio.h>` again from `NK_INCLUDE_STANDARD_VARARGS`.
- 2016/09/18 (1.22.0)- C89 does not support vsnprintf only C99 and newer as well
as C++11 and newer. In addition to use vsnprintf you have
to include <stdio.h>. So just defining `NK_INCLUDE_STD_VAR_ARGS`
is not enough. That behavior is now fixed. By default if
both varargs as well as stdio is selected I try to use
vsnprintf if not possible I will revert to vsprintf. If
varargs but not stdio was defined I will use my own function.
- 2016/09/15 (1.21.2)- Fixed panel `close` behavior for deeper panel levels
- 2016/09/15 (1.21.1)- Fixed C++ errors and wrong argument to `nk_panel_get_xxxx`
- 2016/09/13 (1.21.0) - !BREAKING! Fixed nonblocking popup behavior in menu, combo,
and contextual which prevented closing in y-direction if
popup did not reach max height.
In addition the height parameter was changed into vec2
for width and height to have more control over the popup size.
- 2016/09/13 (1.20.3) - Cleaned up and extended type selection
- 2016/09/13 (1.20.2)- Fixed slider behavior hopefully for the last time. This time
all calculation are correct so no more hackery.
- 2016/09/13 (1.20.1)- Internal change to divide window/panel flags into panel flags and types.
Suprisinly spend years in C and still happened to confuse types
with flags. Probably something to take note.
- 2016/09/08 (1.20.0)- Added additional helper function to make it easier to just
take the produced buffers from `nk_convert` and unplug the
iteration process from `nk_context`. So now you can
just use the vertex,element and command buffer + two pointer
inside the command buffer retrieved by calls `nk__draw_begin`
and `nk__draw_end` and macro `nk_draw_foreach_bounded`.
- 2016/09/08 (1.19.0)- Added additional asserts to make sure every `nk_xxx_begin` call
for windows, popups, combobox, menu and contextual is guarded by
`if` condition and does not produce false drawing output.
- 2016/09/08 (1.18.0)- Changed confusing name for `NK_SYMBOL_RECT_FILLED`, `NK_SYMBOL_RECT`
to hopefully easier to understand `NK_SYMBOL_RECT_FILLED` and
`NK_SYMBOL_RECT_OUTLINE`.
- 2016/09/08 (1.17.0)- Changed confusing name for `NK_SYMBOL_CIRLCE_FILLED`, `NK_SYMBOL_CIRCLE`
to hopefully easier to understand `NK_SYMBOL_CIRCLE_FILLED` and
`NK_SYMBOL_CIRCLE_OUTLINE`.
- 2016/09/08 (1.16.0)- Added additional checks to select correct types if `NK_INCLUDE_FIXED_TYPES`
is not defined by supporting the biggest compiler GCC, clang and MSVC.
- 2016/09/07 (1.15.3)- Fixed `NK_INCLUDE_COMMAND_USERDATA` define to not cause an error
- 2016/09/04 (1.15.2)- Fixed wrong combobox height calculation
- 2016/09/03 (1.15.1)- Fixed gaps inside combo boxes in OpenGL
- 2016/09/02 (1.15.0) - Changed nuklear to not have any default vertex layout and
instead made it user provided. The range of types to convert
to is quite limited at the moment, but I would be more than
happy to accept PRs to add additional.
- 2016/08/30 (1.14.2) - Removed unused variables
- 2016/08/30 (1.14.1) - Fixed C++ build errors
- 2016/08/30 (1.14.0) - Removed mouse dragging from SDL demo since it does not work correctly
- 2016/08/30 (1.13.4) - Tweaked some default styling variables
- 2016/08/30 (1.13.3) - Hopefully fixed drawing bug in slider, in general I would
refrain from using slider with a big number of steps.
- 2016/08/30 (1.13.2) - Fixed close and minimize button which would fire even if the
window was in Read Only Mode.
- 2016/08/30 (1.13.1) - Fixed popup panel padding handling which was previously just
a hack for combo box and menu.
- 2016/08/30 (1.13.0) - Removed `NK_WINDOW_DYNAMIC` flag from public API since
it is bugged and causes issues in window selection.
- 2016/08/30 (1.12.0) - Removed scaler size. The size of the scaler is now
determined by the scrollbar size
- 2016/08/30 (1.11.2) - Fixed some drawing bugs caused by changes from 1.11
- 2016/08/30 (1.11.1) - Fixed overlapping minimized window selection
- 2016/08/30 (1.11.0) - Removed some internal complexity and overly complex code
handling panel padding and panel border.
- 2016/08/29 (1.10.0) - Added additional height parameter to `nk_combobox_xxx`
- 2016/08/29 (1.10.0) - Fixed drawing bug in dynamic popups
- 2016/08/29 (1.10.0) - Added experimental mouse scrolling to popups, menus and comboboxes
- 2016/08/26 (1.10.0) - Added window name string prepresentation to account for
hash collisions. Currently limited to NK_WINDOW_MAX_NAME
which in term can be redefined if not big enough.
- 2016/08/26 (1.10.0) - Added stacks for temporary style/UI changes in code
- 2016/08/25 (1.10.0) - Changed `nk_input_is_key_pressed` and 'nk_input_is_key_released'
to account for key press and release happening in one frame.
- 2016/08/25 (1.10.0) - Added additional nk_edit flag to directly jump to the end on activate
- 2016/08/17 (1.09.6)- Removed invalid check for value zero in nk_propertyx
- 2016/08/16 (1.09.5)- Fixed ROM mode for deeper levels of popup windows parents.
- 2016/08/15 (1.09.4)- Editbox are now still active if enter was pressed with flag
`NK_EDIT_SIG_ENTER`. Main reasoning is to be able to keep
typing after commiting.
- 2016/08/15 (1.09.4)- Removed redundant code
- 2016/08/15 (1.09.4)- Fixed negative numbers in `nk_strtoi` and remove unused variable
- 2016/08/15 (1.09.3)- Fixed `NK_WINDOW_BACKGROUND` flag behavior to select a background
window only as selected by hovering and not by clicking.
- 2016/08/14 (1.09.2)- Fixed a bug in font atlas which caused wrong loading
of glyphes for font with multiple ranges.
- 2016/08/12 (1.09.1)- Added additional function to check if window is currently
hidden and therefore not visible.
- 2016/08/12 (1.09.1)- nk_window_is_closed now queries the correct flag `NK_WINDOW_CLOSED`
instead of the old flag `NK_WINDOW_HIDDEN`
- 2016/08/09 (1.09.0) - Added additional double version to nk_property and changed
the underlying implementation to not cast to float and instead
work directly on the given values.
- 2016/08/09 (1.08.0) - Added additional define to overwrite library internal
floating pointer number to string conversion for additional
precision.
- 2016/08/09 (1.08.0) - Added additional define to overwrite library internal
string to floating point number conversion for additional
precision.
- 2016/08/08 (1.07.2)- Fixed compiling error without define NK_INCLUDE_FIXED_TYPE
- 2016/08/08 (1.07.1)- Fixed possible floating point error inside `nk_widget` leading
to wrong wiget width calculation which results in widgets falsly
becomming tagged as not inside window and cannot be accessed.
- 2016/08/08 (1.07.0) - Nuklear now differentiates between hiding a window (NK_WINDOW_HIDDEN) and
closing a window (NK_WINDOW_CLOSED). A window can be hidden/shown
by using `nk_window_show` and closed by either clicking the close
icon in a window or by calling `nk_window_close`. Only closed
windows get removed at the end of the frame while hidden windows
remain.
- 2016/08/08 (1.06.0) - Added `nk_edit_string_zero_terminated` as a second option to
`nk_edit_string` which takes, edits and outputs a '\0' terminated string.
- 2016/08/08 (1.05.4)- Fixed scrollbar auto hiding behavior
- 2016/08/08 (1.05.3)- Fixed wrong panel padding selection in `nk_layout_widget_space`
- 2016/08/07 (1.05.2)- Fixed old bug in dynamic immediate mode layout API, calculating
wrong item spacing and panel width.
define NK_INCLUDE_STANDARD_VARARGS to allow more fine
grained controlled over library includes.
- 2016/08/06 (1.04.5)- Changed memset calls to NK_MEMSET
- 2016/08/04 (1.04.4)- Fixed fast window scaling behavior
- 2016/08/04 (1.04.3)- Fixed window scaling, movement bug which appears if you
move/scale a window and another window is behind it.
If you are fast enough then the window behind gets activated
and the operation is blocked. I now require activating
by hovering only if mouse is not pressed.
- 2016/08/04 (1.04.2)- Fixed changing fonts
- 2016/08/03 (1.04.1)- Fixed `NK_WINDOW_BACKGROUND` behavior
- 2016/08/03 (1.04.0) - Added color parameter to `nk_draw_image`
- 2016/08/03 (1.04.0) - Added additional window padding style attributes for
sub windows (combo, menu, ...)
- 2016/08/03 (1.04.0) - Added functions to show/hide software cursor
- 2016/08/03 (1.04.0) - Added `NK_WINDOW_BACKGROUND` flag to force a window
to be always in the background of the screen
- 2016/08/03 (1.03.2)- Removed invalid assert macro for NK_RGB color picker
- 2016/08/01 (1.03.1)- Added helper macros into header include guard
- 2016/07/29 (1.03.0) - Moved the window/table pool into the header part to
simplify memory management by removing the need to
allocate the pool.
- 2016/07/29 (1.02.0) - Added auto scrollbar hiding window flag which if enabled
will hide the window scrollbar after NK_SCROLLBAR_HIDING_TIMEOUT
seconds without window interaction. To make it work
you have to also set a delta time inside the `nk_context`.
- 2016/07/25 (1.01.1) - Fixed small panel and panel border drawing bugs
- 2016/07/15 (1.01.0) - Added software cursor to `nk_style` and `nk_context`
- 2016/07/15 (1.01.0) - Added const correctness to `nk_buffer_push' data argument
- 2016/07/15 (1.01.0) - Removed internal font baking API and simplified
font atlas memory management by converting pointer
arrays for fonts and font configurations to lists.
- 2016/07/15 (1.00.0) - Changed button API to use context dependend button
behavior instead of passing it for every function call.
