Utility to quickly setup GUI for your Common Lisp application

bodge-ui-window

Utility to quickly setup GUI for your Common Lisp application. It's an integration of several technologies: bodge-host for managing OS resources and input, bodge-ui for handling UI and bodge-canvas for drawing.

Examples

• Basic
• Styling
• Drawing
• Custom Widget

Install

;; Add cl-bodge distribution into quicklisp
(ql-dist:install-dist "http://bodge.borodust.org/dist/org.borodust.bodge.txt" :replace t :prompt nil)

;; Update main dist just in case
(ql:update-dist "quicklisp")

;; Uncomment and evaluate next line only if you wish to enable OpenGL 2 renderer
;; (cl:pushnew :bodge-gl2 cl:*features*)

;; Load the example
(ql:quickload :bodge-ui-window/examples)
;; And run it!
(bodge-ui-window.example.basic:run)

bodge-ui-window's Issues

does not release threads after window is closed

The README directions work fine. There are some side effects of opening and closing windows since threads that the window uses never seem to get released.

bodge-ui:combo-box needs tweaking

1. When placed in bodge-ui-window panels, combo-boxes do not initialize because calculate-text-width gets not a font but ui-renderer instance. Can be fixed by a workaround defining:

(defmethod bodge-ui:calculate-text-width ((renderer bodge-canvas-ui::ui-renderer) string)
  (bodge-ui:calculate-text-width
   (bodge-ui:renderer-default-font renderer) string))

Which looks like skipping one layer of hierarchy...

2. In the compose method for bodge-ui:combo-box row-height is undefined.
   (This leads to a spin-off question, of how to get default row height from panel containing widget?)

Problem to load OpenGL framework

When executing ql:quickload :bodge-ui-window the compilation stalls on an error

The system is Mac OX X Big Sure (11.0.1). I checked my frameworks and the opengl framework seems to be present in /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGl.framework which AFAIK is in the list of directories which are searched. Please let me know if I can switch to a different renderer, or provide more error informations for you.
