# GUI
This is a bloat-free stateless immedate mode graphical user interface toolkit
written in ANSI C. It was designed to be embedded into graphical application and
does not have any direct dependencies.
The main premise of this toolkit is to be as stateless, simple but as powerful as
possible with fast streamlined user development speed in mind.
## IMGUIs
immediate mode in contrast to classic retained GUIs stores as little state as possible
by using procedural function calls as "widgets" instead of storing objects.
Each "widget" function call takes hereby all its neccessary data and immediatly returns
the through the user modified state back to the caller. Immediate mode graphical
user interfaces therefore combine drawing and input handling into one unit
instead of seperating them like retrain mode GUIs.
Since there is no to minimal internal state in immediate mode user interfaces,
updates have to occur every frame which on one hand is more drawing expensive than classic
ratained GUI implementations but on the other hand grants a lot more flexibility and
support for overall changes. In addition without any state there is no need to
transfer state between your program, the gui state and the user which greatly
simplifies code. Further traits of immediate mode graphic user interfaces are a
code driven style, centralized flow control, easy extensibility and
understandablity.

## API
The API for this gui toolkit is divided into two different layers. There
is the widget layer and the panel layer. The widget layer provides a number of
