Crate minilibx

This library constains rust bindings for the linux minilibx, a simple X11 GUI toolkit for beginners.

The bindings should work as expected, if it’s not the case, feel free to open an issue here.

Dependencies

• libX11
• libXext
• libmlx (minilibx)

Example

extern crate minilibx;

use std::process;
use minilibx::{Mlx, MlxError};

fn main() {
    let mlx = Mlx::new().unwrap();

    let width = 1080;
    let height = 720;
    let window = mlx.new_window(width, height, "Mlx example").unwrap();

    let image = match mlx.new_image(width, height) {
        Ok(img) => img,
        Err(e) => match e {
            MlxError::Any(s) => return println!("{}", s),
            _ => return,
        },
    };

    println!("{}, {}", image.size_line, image.bits_per_pixel);

    window.key_hook(
        move |keycode, _| {
            // you can also check keycodes using the `xev` command
            println!("{}", keycode);

            // `q`
            if keycode == 113 {
                process::exit(0);
            // Enter
            } else if keycode == 97 {
                let x = width / 2;
                let y = height / 2;
                let color = 0xffffff;
                for i in 0..50 {
                    mlx.pixel_put(&window, x + i, y + i, color);
                }
            }
        },
        &(),
    );

    // this will loop forever
    mlx.event_loop();
}

Structs

Mlx

Api method holder.

MlxImage

Image data placeholder. Can be used to draw image onto the screen.

MlxWindow

Hook api holder. Needed in most Mlx methods.

Enums

Endian

Enum describing the endianness of some data.

MlxError

Enum for detecting errors in the minilibx.
