Hi,
I’m pleased to announce the preview release of ruby-iup
[http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-iup/]
ruby-iup is a binding library for the IUP GUI toolkit.
IUP is a portable toolkit for building graphical user interfaces. It
offers a
configuration API in three basic languages: C, Lua and LED. IUP’s
purpose is
to allow a program to be executed in different systems without any
modification,
therefore it is highly portable. Its main advantages are:
-
high performance, due to the fact that it uses native interface
elements. -
fast learning by the user, due to the simplicity of its API.
Refer to IUP - Portable User Interface
For now, no document and test are included and works on Linux and
Windows.
Some example codes are provided and theses are ported from C code.
