### Font
Font handling in this library was designed to be quite customizable and lets
you decide what you want to use and what you want to provide. There are three
different ways to use the font atlas. The first two will use your font
handling scheme and only requires essential data to run nuklear. The next
slightly more advanced features is font handling with vertex buffer output.
Finally the most complex API wise is using nuklear's font baking API.
#### Using your own implementation without vertex buffer output
So first up the easiest way to do font handling is by just providing a
`nk_user_font` struct which only requires the height in pixel of the used
font and a callback to calculate the width of a string. This way of handling
fonts is best fitted for using the normal draw shape command API where you
do all the text drawing yourself and the library does not require any kind
of deeper knowledge about which font handling mechanism you use.
IMPORTANT: the `nk_user_font` pointer provided to nuklear has to persist
over the complete life time! I know this sucks but it is currently the only
way to switch between fonts.
```c
float your_text_width_calculation(nk_handle handle, float height, const char *text, int len)
{
your_font_type *type = handle.ptr;
float text_width = ...;
return text_width;
}
struct nk_user_font font;
font.userdata.ptr = &your_font_class_or_struct;
font.height = your_font_height;
font.width = your_text_width_calculation;
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_default(&ctx, &font);
```
#### Using your own implementation with vertex buffer output
While the first approach works fine if you don't want to use the optional
vertex buffer output it is not enough if you do. To get font handling working
for these cases you have to provide two additional parameters inside the
`nk_user_font`. First a texture atlas handle used to draw text as subimages
of a bigger font atlas texture and a callback to query a character's glyph
information (offset, size, ...). So it is still possible to provide your own
font and use the vertex buffer output.
```c
float your_text_width_calculation(nk_handle handle, float height, const char *text, int len)
{
your_font_type *type = handle.ptr;
float text_width = ...;
return text_width;
}
void query_your_font_glyph(nk_handle handle, float font_height, struct nk_user_font_glyph *glyph, nk_rune codepoint, nk_rune next_codepoint)
{
your_font_type *type = handle.ptr;
glyph.width = ...;
glyph.height = ...;
glyph.xadvance = ...;
glyph.uv[0].x = ...;
glyph.uv[0].y = ...;
glyph.uv[1].x = ...;
glyph.uv[1].y = ...;
glyph.offset.x = ...;
glyph.offset.y = ...;
}
struct nk_user_font font;
font.userdata.ptr = &your_font_class_or_struct;
font.height = your_font_height;
font.width = your_text_width_calculation;
font.query = query_your_font_glyph;
font.texture.id = your_font_texture;
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_default(&ctx, &font);
```
#### Nuklear font baker
The final approach if you do not have a font handling functionality or don't
want to use it in this library is by using the optional font baker.
The font baker APIs can be used to create a font plus font atlas texture
and can be used with or without the vertex buffer output.
It still uses the `nk_user_font` struct and the two different approaches
previously stated still work. The font baker is not located inside
`nk_context` like all other systems since it can be understood as more of
an extension to nuklear and does not really depend on any `nk_context` state.
Font baker need to be initialized first by one of the nk_font_atlas_init_xxx
functions. If you don't care about memory just call the default version
`nk_font_atlas_init_default` which will allocate all memory from the standard library.
If you want to control memory allocation but you don't care if the allocated
memory is temporary and therefore can be freed directly after the baking process
is over or permanent you can call `nk_font_atlas_init`.
After successfully initializing the font baker you can add Truetype(.ttf) fonts from
different sources like memory or from file by calling one of the `nk_font_atlas_add_xxx`.
functions. Adding font will permanently store each font, font config and ttf memory block(!)
inside the font atlas and allows to reuse the font atlas. If you don't want to reuse
the font baker by for example adding additional fonts you can call
`nk_font_atlas_cleanup` after the baking process is over (after calling nk_font_atlas_end).
As soon as you added all fonts you wanted you can now start the baking process
for every selected glyph to image by calling `nk_font_atlas_bake`.
The baking process returns image memory, width and height which can be used to
either create your own image object or upload it to any graphics library.
No matter which case you finally have to call `nk_font_atlas_end` which
will free all temporary memory including the font atlas image so make sure
you created our texture beforehand. `nk_font_atlas_end` requires a handle
to your font texture or object and optionally fills a `struct nk_draw_null_texture`
which can be used for the optional vertex output. If you don't want it just
set the argument to `NULL`.
At this point you are done and if you don't want to reuse the font atlas you
can call `nk_font_atlas_cleanup` to free all truetype blobs and configuration
memory. Finally if you don't use the font atlas and any of it's fonts anymore
you need to call `nk_font_atlas_clear` to free all memory still being used.
```c
struct nk_font_atlas atlas;
nk_font_atlas_init_default(&atlas);
nk_font_atlas_begin(&atlas);
nk_font *font = nk_font_atlas_add_from_file(&atlas, "Path/To/Your/TTF_Font.ttf", 13, 0);
nk_font *font2 = nk_font_atlas_add_from_file(&atlas, "Path/To/Your/TTF_Font2.ttf", 16, 0);
const void* img = nk_font_atlas_bake(&atlas, &img_width, &img_height, NK_FONT_ATLAS_RGBA32);
nk_font_atlas_end(&atlas, nk_handle_id(texture), 0);
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_default(&ctx, &font->handle);
while (1) {
}
nk_font_atlas_clear(&atlas);
```
The font baker API is probably the most complex API inside this library and
I would suggest reading some of my examples `example/` to get a grip on how
to use the font atlas. There are a number of details I left out. For example
how to merge fonts, configure a font with `nk_font_config` to use other languages,
use another texture coordinate format and a lot more:
```c
struct nk_font_config cfg = nk_font_config(font_pixel_height);
cfg.merge_mode = nk_false or nk_true;
cfg.range = nk_font_korean_glyph_ranges();
cfg.coord_type = NK_COORD_PIXEL;
nk_font *font = nk_font_atlas_add_from_file(&atlas, "Path/To/Your/TTF_Font.ttf", 13, &cfg);
```
### Memory Buffer
A basic (double)-buffer with linear allocation and resetting as only
freeing policy. The buffer's main purpose is to control all memory management
inside the GUI toolkit and still leave memory control as much as possible in
the hand of the user while also making sure the library is easy to use if
not as much control is needed.
In general all memory inside this library can be provided from the user in
three different ways.
The first way and the one providing most control is by just passing a fixed
size memory block. In this case all control lies in the hand of the user
since he can exactly control where the memory comes from and how much memory
the library should consume. Of course using the fixed size API removes the
ability to automatically resize a buffer if not enough memory is provided so
you have to take over the resizing. While being a fixed sized buffer sounds
quite limiting, it is very effective in this library since the actual memory
consumption is quite stable and has a fixed upper bound for a lot of cases.
If you don't want to think about how much memory the library should allocate
at all time or have a very dynamic UI with unpredictable memory consumption
habits but still want control over memory allocation you can use the dynamic
allocator based API. The allocator consists of two callbacks for allocating
and freeing memory and optional userdata so you can plugin your own allocator.
The final and easiest way can be used by defining
NK_INCLUDE_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR which uses the standard library memory
allocation functions malloc and free and takes over complete control over
memory in this library.
### Text Editor
Editing text in this library is handled by either `nk_edit_string` or
`nk_edit_buffer`. But like almost everything in this library there are multiple
ways of doing it and a balance between control and ease of use with memory
as well as functionality controlled by flags.
This library generally allows three different levels of memory control:
First of is the most basic way of just providing a simple char array with
string length. This method is probably the easiest way of handling simple
user text input. Main upside is complete control over memory while the biggest
downside in comparison with the other two approaches is missing undo/redo.
For UIs that require undo/redo the second way was created. It is based on
a fixed size nk_text_edit struct, which has an internal undo/redo stack.
This is mainly useful if you want something more like a text editor but don't want
to have a dynamically growing buffer.
The final way is using a dynamically growing nk_text_edit struct, which
has both a default version if you don't care where memory comes from and an
allocator version if you do. While the text editor is quite powerful for its
complexity I would not recommend editing gigabytes of data with it.
It is rather designed for uses cases which make sense for a GUI library not for
an full blown text editor.
### Drawing
This library was designed to be render backend agnostic so it does
not draw anything to screen. Instead all drawn shapes, widgets
are made of, are buffered into memory and make up a command queue.
Each frame therefore fills the command buffer with draw commands
that then need to be executed by the user and his own render backend.
After that the command buffer needs to be cleared and a new frame can be
started. It is probably important to note that the command buffer is the main
drawing API and the optional vertex buffer API only takes this format and
converts it into a hardware accessible format.
To use the command queue to draw your own widgets you can access the
command buffer of each window by calling `nk_window_get_canvas` after
previously having called `nk_begin`:
```c
void draw_red_rectangle_widget(struct nk_context *ctx)
{
struct nk_command_buffer *canvas;
struct nk_input *input = &ctx->input;
canvas = nk_window_get_canvas(ctx);
struct nk_rect space;
enum nk_widget_layout_states state;
state = nk_widget(&space, ctx);
if (!state) return;
if (state != NK_WIDGET_ROM)
update_your_widget_by_user_input(...);

```
Important to know if you want to create your own widgets is the `nk_widget`
call. It allocates space on the panel reserved for this widget to be used,
but also returns the state of the widget space. If your widget is not seen and does
not have to be updated it is '0' and you can just return. If it only has
to be drawn the state will be `NK_WIDGET_ROM` otherwise you can do both
update and draw your widget. The reason for separating is to only draw and
update what is actually necessary which is crucial for performance.
Draw List
The optional vertex buffer draw list provides a 2D drawing context
with antialiasing functionality which takes basic filled or outlined shapes
or a path and outputs vertexes, elements and draw commands.
The actual draw list API is not required to be used directly while using this
library since converting the default library draw command output is done by
just calling `nk_convert` but I decided to still make this library accessible
since it can be useful.
The draw list is based on a path buffering and polygon and polyline
rendering API which allows a lot of ways to draw 2D content to screen.
In fact it is probably more powerful than needed but allows even more crazy
things than this library provides by default.
### Stack
The style modifier stack can be used to temporarily change a
property inside `nk_style`. For example if you want a special
red button you can temporarily push the old button color onto a stack
draw the button with a red color and then you just pop the old color
back from the stack:
nk_style_push_style_item(ctx, &ctx->style.button.normal, nk_style_item_color(nk_rgb(255,0,0)));
nk_style_push_style_item(ctx, &ctx->style.button.hover, nk_style_item_color(nk_rgb(255,0,0)));
nk_style_push_style_item(ctx, &ctx->style.button.active, nk_style_item_color(nk_rgb(255,0,0)));
nk_style_push_vec2(ctx, &cx->style.button.padding, nk_vec2(2,2));
nk_button(...);
nk_style_pop_style_item(ctx);
nk_style_pop_style_item(ctx);
nk_style_pop_style_item(ctx);
nk_style_pop_vec2(ctx);
Nuklear has a stack for style_items, float properties, vector properties,
flags, colors, fonts and for button_behavior. Each has it's own fixed size stack
which can be changed at compile time.
### Math
Since nuklear is supposed to work on all systems providing floating point
math without any dependencies I also had to implement my own math functions
for sqrt, sin and cos. Since the actual highly accurate implementations for
the standard library functions are quite complex and I do not need high
precision for my use cases I use approximations.
Sqrt
----
For square root nuklear uses the famous fast inverse square root:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root with
slightly tweaked magic constant. While on today's hardware it is
probably not faster it is still fast and accurate enough for
nuklear's use cases. IMPORTANT: this requires float format IEEE 754
Sine/Cosine
-----------
All constants inside both function are generated Remez's minimax
approximations for value range 0...2*PI. The reason why I decided to
approximate exactly that range is that nuklear only needs sine and
cosine to generate circles which only requires that exact range.
In addition I used Remez instead of Taylor for additional precision:
www.lolengine.net/blog/2011/12/21/better-function-approximations.
The tool I used to generate constants for both sine and cosine
(it can actually approximate a lot more functions) can be
found here: www.lolengine.net/wiki/oss/lolremez

* FONT
*
* ===============================================================*/
/* Font handling in this library was designed to be quite customizable and lets
you decide what you want to use and what you want to provide. There are three
different ways to use the font atlas. The first two will use your font
handling scheme and only requires essential data to run nuklear. The next
slightly more advanced features is font handling with vertex buffer output.
Finally the most complex API wise is using nuklear's font baking API.
1.) Using your own implementation without vertex buffer output
--------------------------------------------------------------
So first up the easiest way to do font handling is by just providing a
`nk_user_font` struct which only requires the height in pixel of the used
font and a callback to calculate the width of a string. This way of handling
fonts is best fitted for using the normal draw shape command API where you
do all the text drawing yourself and the library does not require any kind
of deeper knowledge about which font handling mechanism you use.
IMPORTANT: the `nk_user_font` pointer provided to nuklear has to persist
over the complete life time! I know this sucks but it is currently the only
way to switch between fonts.
float your_text_width_calculation(nk_handle handle, float height, const char *text, int len)
{
your_font_type *type = handle.ptr;
float text_width = ...;
return text_width;
}
struct nk_user_font font;
font.userdata.ptr = &your_font_class_or_struct;
font.height = your_font_height;
font.width = your_text_width_calculation;
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_default(&ctx, &font);
2.) Using your own implementation with vertex buffer output
--------------------------------------------------------------
While the first approach works fine if you don't want to use the optional
vertex buffer output it is not enough if you do. To get font handling working
for these cases you have to provide two additional parameters inside the
`nk_user_font`. First a texture atlas handle used to draw text as subimages
of a bigger font atlas texture and a callback to query a character's glyph
information (offset, size, ...). So it is still possible to provide your own
font and use the vertex buffer output.
float your_text_width_calculation(nk_handle handle, float height, const char *text, int len)
{
your_font_type *type = handle.ptr;
float text_width = ...;
return text_width;
}
void query_your_font_glyph(nk_handle handle, float font_height, struct nk_user_font_glyph *glyph, nk_rune codepoint, nk_rune next_codepoint)
{
your_font_type *type = handle.ptr;
glyph.width = ...;
glyph.height = ...;
glyph.xadvance = ...;
glyph.uv[0].x = ...;
glyph.uv[0].y = ...;
glyph.uv[1].x = ...;
glyph.uv[1].y = ...;
glyph.offset.x = ...;
glyph.offset.y = ...;
}
struct nk_user_font font;
font.userdata.ptr = &your_font_class_or_struct;
font.height = your_font_height;
font.width = your_text_width_calculation;
font.query = query_your_font_glyph;
font.texture.id = your_font_texture;
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_default(&ctx, &font);
3.) Nuklear font baker
------------------------------------
The final approach if you do not have a font handling functionality or don't
want to use it in this library is by using the optional font baker.
The font baker APIs can be used to create a font plus font atlas texture
and can be used with or without the vertex buffer output.
It still uses the `nk_user_font` struct and the two different approaches
previously stated still work. The font baker is not located inside
`nk_context` like all other systems since it can be understood as more of
an extension to nuklear and does not really depend on any `nk_context` state.
Font baker need to be initialized first by one of the nk_font_atlas_init_xxx
functions. If you don't care about memory just call the default version
`nk_font_atlas_init_default` which will allocate all memory from the standard library.
If you want to control memory allocation but you don't care if the allocated
memory is temporary and therefore can be freed directly after the baking process
is over or permanent you can call `nk_font_atlas_init`.
After successfully initializing the font baker you can add Truetype(.ttf) fonts from
different sources like memory or from file by calling one of the `nk_font_atlas_add_xxx`.
functions. Adding font will permanently store each font, font config and ttf memory block(!)
inside the font atlas and allows to reuse the font atlas. If you don't want to reuse
the font baker by for example adding additional fonts you can call
`nk_font_atlas_cleanup` after the baking process is over (after calling nk_font_atlas_end).
As soon as you added all fonts you wanted you can now start the baking process
for every selected glyph to image by calling `nk_font_atlas_bake`.
The baking process returns image memory, width and height which can be used to
either create your own image object or upload it to any graphics library.
No matter which case you finally have to call `nk_font_atlas_end` which
will free all temporary memory including the font atlas image so make sure
you created our texture beforehand. `nk_font_atlas_end` requires a handle
to your font texture or object and optionally fills a `struct nk_draw_null_texture`
which can be used for the optional vertex output. If you don't want it just
set the argument to `NULL`.
At this point you are done and if you don't want to reuse the font atlas you
can call `nk_font_atlas_cleanup` to free all truetype blobs and configuration
memory. Finally if you don't use the font atlas and any of it's fonts anymore
you need to call `nk_font_atlas_clear` to free all memory still being used.
struct nk_font_atlas atlas;
nk_font_atlas_init_default(&atlas);
nk_font_atlas_begin(&atlas);
nk_font *font = nk_font_atlas_add_from_file(&atlas, "Path/To/Your/TTF_Font.ttf", 13, 0);
nk_font *font2 = nk_font_atlas_add_from_file(&atlas, "Path/To/Your/TTF_Font2.ttf", 16, 0);
const void* img = nk_font_atlas_bake(&atlas, &img_width, &img_height, NK_FONT_ATLAS_RGBA32);
nk_font_atlas_end(&atlas, nk_handle_id(texture), 0);
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_default(&ctx, &font->handle);
while (1) {
}
nk_font_atlas_clear(&atlas);
The font baker API is probably the most complex API inside this library and
I would suggest reading some of my examples `example/` to get a grip on how
to use the font atlas. There are a number of details I left out. For example
how to merge fonts, configure a font with `nk_font_config` to use other languages,
use another texture coordinate format and a lot more:
struct nk_font_config cfg = nk_font_config(font_pixel_height);
cfg.merge_mode = nk_false or nk_true;
cfg.range = nk_font_korean_glyph_ranges();
cfg.coord_type = NK_COORD_PIXEL;
nk_font *font = nk_font_atlas_add_from_file(&atlas, "Path/To/Your/TTF_Font.ttf", 13, &cfg);

* MEMORY BUFFER
*
* ===============================================================*/
/* A basic (double)-buffer with linear allocation and resetting as only
freeing policy. The buffer's main purpose is to control all memory management
inside the GUI toolkit and still leave memory control as much as possible in
the hand of the user while also making sure the library is easy to use if
not as much control is needed.
In general all memory inside this library can be provided from the user in
three different ways.
The first way and the one providing most control is by just passing a fixed
size memory block. In this case all control lies in the hand of the user
since he can exactly control where the memory comes from and how much memory
the library should consume. Of course using the fixed size API removes the
ability to automatically resize a buffer if not enough memory is provided so
you have to take over the resizing. While being a fixed sized buffer sounds
quite limiting, it is very effective in this library since the actual memory
consumption is quite stable and has a fixed upper bound for a lot of cases.
If you don't want to think about how much memory the library should allocate
at all time or have a very dynamic UI with unpredictable memory consumption
habits but still want control over memory allocation you can use the dynamic
allocator based API. The allocator consists of two callbacks for allocating
and freeing memory and optional userdata so you can plugin your own allocator.
The final and easiest way can be used by defining
NK_INCLUDE_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR which uses the standard library memory
allocation functions malloc and free and takes over complete control over
memory in this library.

* DRAWING
*
* ===============================================================*/
/* This library was designed to be render backend agnostic so it does
not draw anything to screen. Instead all drawn shapes, widgets
are made of, are buffered into memory and make up a command queue.
Each frame therefore fills the command buffer with draw commands
that then need to be executed by the user and his own render backend.
After that the command buffer needs to be cleared and a new frame can be
started. It is probably important to note that the command buffer is the main
drawing API and the optional vertex buffer API only takes this format and
converts it into a hardware accessible format.
To use the command queue to draw your own widgets you can access the
command buffer of each window by calling `nk_window_get_canvas` after
previously having called `nk_begin`:
void draw_red_rectangle_widget(struct nk_context *ctx)
{
struct nk_command_buffer *canvas;
struct nk_input *input = &ctx->input;
canvas = nk_window_get_canvas(ctx);
struct nk_rect space;
enum nk_widget_layout_states state;
state = nk_widget(&space, ctx);
if (!state) return;
if (state != NK_WIDGET_ROM)
update_your_widget_by_user_input(...);
nk_fill_rect(canvas, space, 0, nk_rgb(255,0,0));
}
if (nk_begin(...)) {
nk_layout_row_dynamic(ctx, 25, 1);
draw_red_rectangle_widget(ctx);
}
nk_end(..)
Important to know if you want to create your own widgets is the `nk_widget`
call. It allocates space on the panel reserved for this widget to be used,
but also returns the state of the widget space. If your widget is not seen and does
not have to be updated it is '0' and you can just return. If it only has
to be drawn the state will be `NK_WIDGET_ROM` otherwise you can do both
update and draw your widget. The reason for separating is to only draw and
update what is actually necessary which is crucial for performance.

All constants inside both function are generated Remez's minimax

In addition I used Remez instead of Taylor for additional precision:

* FONT
*
* ===============================================================*/
/* Font handling in this library was designed to be quite customizable and lets
you decide what you want to use and what you want to provide. There are three
different ways to use the font atlas. The first two will use your font
handling scheme and only requires essential data to run nuklear. The next
slightly more advanced features is font handling with vertex buffer output.
Finally the most complex API wise is using nuklear's font baking API.
1.) Using your own implementation without vertex buffer output
--------------------------------------------------------------
So first up the easiest way to do font handling is by just providing a
`nk_user_font` struct which only requires the height in pixel of the used
font and a callback to calculate the width of a string. This way of handling
fonts is best fitted for using the normal draw shape command API where you
do all the text drawing yourself and the library does not require any kind
of deeper knowledge about which font handling mechanism you use.
IMPORTANT: the `nk_user_font` pointer provided to nuklear has to persist
over the complete life time! I know this sucks but it is currently the only
way to switch between fonts.
float your_text_width_calculation(nk_handle handle, float height, const char *text, int len)
{
your_font_type *type = handle.ptr;
float text_width = ...;
return text_width;
}
struct nk_user_font font;
font.userdata.ptr = &your_font_class_or_struct;
font.height = your_font_height;
font.width = your_text_width_calculation;
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_default(&ctx, &font);
2.) Using your own implementation with vertex buffer output
--------------------------------------------------------------
While the first approach works fine if you don't want to use the optional
vertex buffer output it is not enough if you do. To get font handling working
for these cases you have to provide two additional parameters inside the
`nk_user_font`. First a texture atlas handle used to draw text as subimages
of a bigger font atlas texture and a callback to query a character's glyph
information (offset, size, ...). So it is still possible to provide your own
font and use the vertex buffer output.
float your_text_width_calculation(nk_handle handle, float height, const char *text, int len)
{
your_font_type *type = handle.ptr;
float text_width = ...;
return text_width;
}
void query_your_font_glyph(nk_handle handle, float font_height, struct nk_user_font_glyph *glyph, nk_rune codepoint, nk_rune next_codepoint)
{
your_font_type *type = handle.ptr;
glyph.width = ...;
glyph.height = ...;
glyph.xadvance = ...;
glyph.uv[0].x = ...;
glyph.uv[0].y = ...;
glyph.uv[1].x = ...;
glyph.uv[1].y = ...;
glyph.offset.x = ...;
glyph.offset.y = ...;
}
struct nk_user_font font;
font.userdata.ptr = &your_font_class_or_struct;
font.height = your_font_height;
font.width = your_text_width_calculation;
font.query = query_your_font_glyph;
font.texture.id = your_font_texture;
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_default(&ctx, &font);
3.) Nuklear font baker
------------------------------------
The final approach if you do not have a font handling functionality or don't
want to use it in this library is by using the optional font baker.
The font baker APIs can be used to create a font plus font atlas texture
and can be used with or without the vertex buffer output.
It still uses the `nk_user_font` struct and the two different approaches
previously stated still work. The font baker is not located inside
`nk_context` like all other systems since it can be understood as more of
an extension to nuklear and does not really depend on any `nk_context` state.
Font baker need to be initialized first by one of the nk_font_atlas_init_xxx
functions. If you don't care about memory just call the default version
`nk_font_atlas_init_default` which will allocate all memory from the standard library.
If you want to control memory allocation but you don't care if the allocated
memory is temporary and therefore can be freed directly after the baking process
is over or permanent you can call `nk_font_atlas_init`.
After successfully initializing the font baker you can add Truetype(.ttf) fonts from
different sources like memory or from file by calling one of the `nk_font_atlas_add_xxx`.
functions. Adding font will permanently store each font, font config and ttf memory block(!)
inside the font atlas and allows to reuse the font atlas. If you don't want to reuse
the font baker by for example adding additional fonts you can call
`nk_font_atlas_cleanup` after the baking process is over (after calling nk_font_atlas_end).
As soon as you added all fonts you wanted you can now start the baking process
for every selected glyph to image by calling `nk_font_atlas_bake`.
The baking process returns image memory, width and height which can be used to
either create your own image object or upload it to any graphics library.
No matter which case you finally have to call `nk_font_atlas_end` which
will free all temporary memory including the font atlas image so make sure
you created our texture beforehand. `nk_font_atlas_end` requires a handle
to your font texture or object and optionally fills a `struct nk_draw_null_texture`
which can be used for the optional vertex output. If you don't want it just
set the argument to `NULL`.
At this point you are done and if you don't want to reuse the font atlas you
can call `nk_font_atlas_cleanup` to free all truetype blobs and configuration
memory. Finally if you don't use the font atlas and any of it's fonts anymore
you need to call `nk_font_atlas_clear` to free all memory still being used.
struct nk_font_atlas atlas;
nk_font_atlas_init_default(&atlas);
nk_font_atlas_begin(&atlas);
nk_font *font = nk_font_atlas_add_from_file(&atlas, "Path/To/Your/TTF_Font.ttf", 13, 0);
nk_font *font2 = nk_font_atlas_add_from_file(&atlas, "Path/To/Your/TTF_Font2.ttf", 16, 0);
const void* img = nk_font_atlas_bake(&atlas, &img_width, &img_height, NK_FONT_ATLAS_RGBA32);
nk_font_atlas_end(&atlas, nk_handle_id(texture), 0);
struct nk_context ctx;
nk_init_default(&ctx, &font->handle);
while (1) {
}
nk_font_atlas_clear(&atlas);
The font baker API is probably the most complex API inside this library and
I would suggest reading some of my examples `example/` to get a grip on how
to use the font atlas. There are a number of details I left out. For example
how to merge fonts, configure a font with `nk_font_config` to use other languages,
use another texture coordinate format and a lot more:
struct nk_font_config cfg = nk_font_config(font_pixel_height);
cfg.merge_mode = nk_false or nk_true;
cfg.range = nk_font_korean_glyph_ranges();
cfg.coord_type = NK_COORD_PIXEL;
nk_font *font = nk_font_atlas_add_from_file(&atlas, "Path/To/Your/TTF_Font.ttf", 13, &cfg);

the hand of the user while also making sure the library is easy to use if
not as much control is needed.
In general all memory inside this library can be provided from the user in
three different ways.
The first way and the one providing most control is by just passing a fixed
size memory block. In this case all control lies in the hand of the user
since he can exactly control where the memory comes from and how much memory
the library should consume. Of course using the fixed size API removes the
ability to automatically resize a buffer if not enough memory is provided so
you have to take over the resizing. While being a fixed sized buffer sounds
quite limiting, it is very effective in this library since the actual memory
consumption is quite stable and has a fixed upper bound for a lot of cases.
If you don't want to think about how much memory the library should allocate
at all time or have a very dynamic UI with unpredictable memory consumption
habits but still want control over memory allocation you can use the dynamic
allocator based API. The allocator consists of two callbacks for allocating
and freeing memory and optional userdata so you can plugin your own allocator.
The final and easiest way can be used by defining
NK_INCLUDE_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR which uses the standard library memory
allocation functions malloc and free and takes over complete control over
memory in this library.

* DRAWING
*
* ===============================================================*/
/* This library was designed to be render backend agnostic so it does
not draw anything to screen. Instead all drawn shapes, widgets
are made of, are buffered into memory and make up a command queue.
Each frame therefore fills the command buffer with draw commands
that then need to be executed by the user and his own render backend.
After that the command buffer needs to be cleared and a new frame can be
started. It is probably important to note that the command buffer is the main
drawing API and the optional vertex buffer API only takes this format and
converts it into a hardware accessible format.
To use the command queue to draw your own widgets you can access the
command buffer of each window by calling `nk_window_get_canvas` after
previously having called `nk_begin`:
void draw_red_rectangle_widget(struct nk_context *ctx)
{
struct nk_command_buffer *canvas;
struct nk_input *input = &ctx->input;
canvas = nk_window_get_canvas(ctx);
struct nk_rect space;
enum nk_widget_layout_states state;
state = nk_widget(&space, ctx);
if (!state) return;
if (state != NK_WIDGET_ROM)
update_your_widget_by_user_input(...);
nk_fill_rect(canvas, space, 0, nk_rgb(255,0,0));
}
if (nk_begin(...)) {
nk_layout_row_dynamic(ctx, 25, 1);
draw_red_rectangle_widget(ctx);
}
nk_end(..)
Important to know if you want to create your own widgets is the `nk_widget`
call. It allocates space on the panel reserved for this widget to be used,
but also returns the state of the widget space. If your widget is not seen and does
not have to be updated it is '0' and you can just return. If it only has
to be drawn the state will be `NK_WIDGET_ROM` otherwise you can do both
update and draw your widget. The reason for separating is to only draw and
update what is actually necessary which is crucial for performance.

/* Since nuklear is supposed to work on all systems providing floating point
math without any dependencies I also had to implement my own math functions
for sqrt, sin and cos. Since the actual highly accurate implementations for
the standard library functions are quite complex and I do not need high
precision for my use cases I use approximations.
Sqrt
----
For square root nuklear uses the famous fast inverse square root:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root with
slightly tweaked magic constant. While on today's hardware it is
probably not faster it is still fast and accurate enough for
nuklear's use cases. IMPORTANT: this requires float format IEEE 754
Sine/Cosine
-----------
All constants inside both function are generated Remez's minimax
approximations for value range 0...2*PI. The reason why I decided to
approximate exactly that range is that nuklear only needs sine and
cosine to generate circles which only requires that exact range.
In addition I used Remez instead of Taylor for additional precision:
www.lolengine.net/blog/2011/12/21/better-function-approximations.
The tool I used to generate constants for both sine and cosine
(it can actually approximate a lot more functions) can be
found here: www.lolengine.net/wiki/oss/lolremez
