# zcatgui
**Immediate Mode GUI Library for Zig** - Software-rendered, cross-platform, SSH-compatible.
[![Zig](https://img.shields.io/badge/Zig-0.15.2-orange)](https://ziglang.org/)
[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue)](LICENSE)
## Features
- **Immediate Mode** - Explicit state, no callbacks, no threading issues
- **Software Rendering** - Works everywhere, including over SSH (X11 forwarding)
- **Macro System** - Record and replay user actions (unique feature)
- **35 Widgets** - From basic (Button, Label) to advanced (Table, Tree, Charts)
- **5 Themes** - Dark, Light, High Contrast, Nord, Dracula
- **Accessibility** - ARIA-like roles and states for screen readers
- **Zero Runtime Dependencies** - Only SDL2 for windowing
## Quick Start
```zig
const zcatgui = @import("zcatgui");
pub fn main() !void {
var gpa = std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator(.{}){};
const allocator = gpa.allocator();
var ctx = try zcatgui.Context.init(allocator);
defer ctx.deinit();
while (ctx.running) {
ctx.beginFrame();
if (zcatgui.button(&ctx, "Click me!")) {
// Handle click
}
ctx.endFrame();
}
}
```
## Widgets (35 total)
### Basic

- **LineChart** - Line graphs with multiple series
- **BarChart** - Bar graphs with grouping
- **PieChart** - Pie/donut charts with labels
- **Sparkline** - Compact inline charts
### Layout
- **Panel** - Container with title, collapsible
- **HSplit/VSplit** - Draggable split panels
- **Tabs** - Tab container with keyboard navigation
- **ScrollArea** - Scrollable content region
- **Modal** - Dialog boxes (alert, confirm, input)
### Feedback
- **Progress** - Bar, circle, spinner with animations
- **Tooltip** - Hover tooltips with smart positioning
- **Toast** - Non-blocking notifications
- **Badge** - Status labels with variants

- **ColorPicker** - Color selection
- **Calendar** - Date selection
- **RichText** - Styled text rendering
## Unique Features
### Macro System
Record user actions as keyboard events and replay them:
```zig
var recorder = zcatgui.MacroRecorder.init(allocator);
// Start recording
recorder.start();
// ... user interacts with UI ...
// Stop and save
const events = recorder.stop();
try recorder.save("my_macro.macro");
// Later, replay
var player = zcatgui.MacroPlayer.init();
player.play(events, ctx.injectEvent, 50); // 50ms delay between events
```
### Lego Panels Architecture
Build complex UIs from reusable autonomous panels:
```zig
const panels = zcatgui.panels;
var search_panel = panels.SearchFilterPanel.init(allocator, config);
var data_panel = panels.DataTablePanel.init(allocator, table_config);
// Panels communicate via DataManager
var manager = panels.DataManager.init(allocator);
manager.register("search", &search_panel);
manager.register("data", &data_panel);
```
### Table with Dirty Tracking
Track changes for database sync:
```zig
var table_state = zcatgui.widgets.TableState.init();
// After user edits
if (table_state.isDirty()) {
const changes = table_state.getDirtyRows();
for (changes) |row_idx| {
// Sync to database
}
table_state.clearDirty();
}
```
## Themes
```zig
const theme = zcatgui.Style.ThemeManager.init();
// Switch themes at runtime
theme.setTheme(.dark);
theme.setTheme(.light);
theme.setTheme(.high_contrast);
theme.setTheme(.nord);
theme.setTheme(.dracula);
```
## Performance
- **FrameArena** - O(1) per-frame allocator with automatic reset
- **ObjectPool** - Reuse frequently allocated objects
- **Virtual Scrolling** - Handle millions of items efficiently
- **Dirty Rectangles** - Partial redraws for efficiency
## Building
```bash
# Build library
zig build
# Run tests
zig build test
# Build examples
zig build hello
zig build widgets-demo
zig build table-demo
```
## Requirements
- Zig 0.15.2
