• Not A Wrapper - yaxi is a pure rust implementation and is NOT a wrapper
• No Release Dependencies - yaxi release builds dont depend on any crates

Goals

• Authorization
• Requests and Replies
• events (most)
• Keycodes and Keysyms
• Extensions (Xinerama, Xft, ...) (Only Xinerama Implemented So Far)
• Clipboard Support
• Comprehensive Documentation
• GLX
• Window Manager in yaxi (work in progress)

Example

This example opens a window and waits for a keyboard press before it quits:

use yaxi::window::{WindowArguments, ValuesBuilder, WindowKind};
use yaxi::proto::{Event, WindowClass, EventMask};
use yaxi::display;


fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut display = display::open(None)?;

    let mut root = display.default_root_window()?;

    let mut window = root.create_window(WindowArguments {
        depth: root.depth(),
        x: 5,
        y: 5,
        width: 80,
        height: 50,
        border_width: 15,
        class: WindowClass::InputOutput,
        visual: root.visual(),
        values: ValuesBuilder::new(vec![]),
    })?;

    window.select_input(&[EventMask::KeyPress, EventMask::KeyRelease])?;

    window.map(WindowKind::Window)?;

    let event = display.next_event()?;

    match event {
        Event::KeyEvent { kind, coordinates, window, root, subwindow, state, keycode, send_event } => {
            let window_copy = display.window_from_id(window)?;

            println!("window from id: {}, keycode: {}", window_copy.id(), keycode);
        },
        _ => {},
    }

    window.destroy(WindowKind::Window)?;

    Ok(())
}
