[Lib] SUIT - Simple User Interface Toolkit

[parallax7d]

Uh, what about .push and .pop? I coerced slime to make that work for the graphics state. love.graphics.push("all")

Oh sweet, that's super useful. Had no idea it could do that. The little blurb on the wiki makes it seem like it's just for saving coordinates.

Hi. I'm using SUIT for the first time and it really fits love2d in how awesome it is and how good to use it is.

The only thing that it misses is some kind of frame that keeps child-objects inside it. I'm not sure if it's possible to do, but it would be really useful.

You can layout your widgets with cells.

After using it for a little bit I figured it out. But now I'm struggling with making rows/collumns. Because when I do a row() it changes the X of the next col(). Currently I'm doing some not ideal ways to work around this. But I'm really liking this library. It feels so good to use it.

I'm having the same issue.

right now, making

Code: Select all

suit.layout:row()

sets the new row's origin at the lower right corner of the existing cell.
it should set the origin at the lower LEFT corner.

also, if you do not load a font in LOVE, SUIT will crash.

I might just fix this in the source code myself and make a pr

You can use layout:push() and layout:pop() for nested layouts. The main example in the documentation shows how to use it.

Ah yes of course, great library btw.

Is there a way to make an inner cell default to 100% of the container width?

[vrld]

Yes

I just had the same issue and probably did the same stupid workaround (reset the layout to reset the cell x, then guess the correct y position).
The main example code is not exactly the code that generate the animated example and I am also not sure that it shows how to handle this issue sanely.
What I tried to get was a simple:

Code: Select all

[       label      ]
[  btn1  ][  btn2  ]
[       btn3       ]

What I could get without a nasty hack was:

Code: Select all

[       label      ]
[  btn1  ][  btn2  ]
          [  btn3  ]

[vrld]

So, this code:

Code: Select all

local suit = require 'suit'

function love.update(dt)
	suit.layout:reset(100,100, 10,10)

	suit.Button("btn", suit.layout:row(200,30))

	suit.layout:push(suit.layout:row())
	suit.Button("btn1", suit.layout:col(95,30)) -- (200 - padding) / 2
	suit.Button("btn2", suit.layout:col())
	suit.layout:pop()

	suit.Button("btn3", suit.layout:row(200))
end

function love.draw()
	suit.draw()
end

Luckily, a fix has just been pushed...
