Nimble.Layout

Layout system for .Net based on layout.h.

Example

var root = new LayoutItem {
	Size = new(1280, 720),
	Contain = ContainFlags.Row,
};

var masterList = new LayoutItem {
	Size = new(400, 0),
	Behave = BehaveFlags.VFill,
	Contain = ContainFlags.Column,
};
root.AddChild(masterList);

var contentView = new LayoutItem {
	Behave = BehaveFlags.HFill | BehaveFlags.VFill,
};
root.AddChild(contentView);

root.Run();

MyUiLibrary.DrawBoxXYWH(
	masterList.Rect.X, masterList.Rect.Y,
	masterList.Rect.Width, masterList.Rect.Height
);

Notes

This is a direct port of layout.h without too many modifications besides making it more OOP-friendly and some common C# things.

Tests from layout.h were ported to C#, and they all pass, so I'm rather confident in the reliability of this library.

Performance is still mostly untested, although there is a Nimble.Layout.Benchmark project that should match the one in layout.h. Initial testing shows that this library is about 4 times slower than its C counterpart. I have not yet narrowed down the exact cause.

Most of the documentation is copied straight from the C code. This will be fixed eventually.
