Gio - immediate mode GUI in Go

Gio is an Immediate mode GUI library in Go. Unlike many other IMGUI libraries, it is full-featured and is intended for user-facing applications (as opposed to debugging tools and game editors).

Gio reifies drawing and some other operations as a list of Ops. These Ops can be captured, replayed, transformed, etc. The Ops is central to the Gio architecture.

See also:

• Reification of drawing operations allows implementing Flutter layout model in a single pass—Gio implements proper layout.

  • This reification also allows widgets to memoize their representation (e.g., to avoid expensive layouting or text-shaping)

• Gio event handling. Ops is also used to register for events.
