good GUI library ?

Post by stanko51 »

Hello,

I don't want to spend time right now coding graphic functions, so I'm looking for a library with all the basics drawing function ready to use. Do you have any (free) suggestion for me ? What library did you use in your own OS ?

Thanks!

I "ported" PicoGUI (or rather used it as a reference for ideas).

ok thanks.
I guess i'll go with openGL then, it seems to be the most common and documented one.

You (generally) want to make a graphical library first (for example, OpenGL). After that you create your GUI library using your graphics library and input libraries.
