CONTRIBUTING
============
## Submitting changes
Please send a GitHub Pull Request with a clear list of what you've done (read more about [pull requests](http://help.github.com/pull-requests/)).
## Features
If you have an idea for new features just [open an issue](https://github.com/vurtun/zahnrad/issues) with your suggestion.
* Find and correct spelling mistakes
* Add (insert your favorite platform or render backend here) demo implementation (some possibilities: DirectX 9/DirectX 10/DirectX 11 and win32 with OpenGL)
* Add clipboard user callbacks back into all demos
* Add additional widgets
* Find a better way to change the style or group style options
* Add support for multiple pointers for touch input devices (probably requires to rewrite mouse handling in `struct zr_input`)
* Extend xlib demo to support image drawing with arbitrary image width and height
* Change cursor in `zr_widget_edit_box` and `zr_widget_edit_field` to thin standard cursor version used in editors
* Extend piemenu to support submenus (another ring around the first ring or something like [this:](http://gdj.gdj.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/ui+concepts+13.gif)) and turn it into a default library widget.
* Add label describing the currently active piemenu entry
* Add tables with scaleable column width
* Rewrite the chart API to support a better range of charts (maybe take notes from Javascript chart frameworks)
* Create an API to allow scaling between groups (maybe extend and convert the demo example)
* Come up with a better way to provide and create widget and window styles
* Add multiple Tab support (maybe use `zr_group` and add a header)
* Extend context to not only support overlapping windows but tiled windows as well
## Bugs
* Seperator widget is currently bugged and does not work as intended
* Text handling is still a little bit janky and probably needs to be further tested and polished
* `zr_edit_buffer` with multiline flag is bugged for '\n', need to differentiate between visible and non-visible characters
## Coding conventions
* Only use C89 (ANSI C)
* Do not use any compiler specific extensions
* For indent use four spaces
* Do not typedef structs, unions and enums
* Variable, object and function names should always be lowercase and use underscores instead of camel case
* Whitespace after for, while, if, do and switch
* Always use parentheses if you use the sizeof operator (e.g: sizeof(struct zr_context) and not sizeof struct zr_context)
* Beginning braces on the new line for functions and on the same line otherwise.
* If function becomes to big either a.) create a subblock inside the function and comment or b.) write a functional function
* Only use fixed size types (zr_uint, zr_size, ...) if you really need to and use basic types otherwise
* Do not include any header files in either zahnrad.h or zahnrad.c
* Do not add dependencies rather write your own version if possible
* Write correct commit messages: (http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html)
