Nana is a cross-platform C++ library for creating graphical user interfaces. It uses a platform-independent API and currently supports Windows, Linux[1] and FreeBSD.[2]
Nana is free and open-source software, licensed under the Boost Software License.
Architecture and design[edit]
Nana is an object-oriented widget toolkit using generic programming[3] and written in Standard C++. It can therefore be compiled by any Standard C++ compiler (VC2013, GCC/MinGW, Clang).
The primary design goal of Nana is to make things simple and intuitive to C++ developers: it therefore uses many advanced C++ features, such as templates, standard libraries, exception and RTTI. It fully supports C++11 since 2012,[4] giving the developers the freedom to use various modern C++ features such as lambda functions, smart pointers and the standard library.
Language bindings[edit]
Nana was written in C++ and targets only this language.
The following Nana example[5] creates a window with a "Hello, World" caption and a "Quit" button:
#include <nana/gui/wvl.hpp>
#include <nana/gui/widgets/button.hpp>
int main()
{
using namespace nana;
form fm; // The form is a window with title bar and a sizable border frame,
fm.caption("Hello World");
button btn(fm, rectangle(20, 20, 150, 30));
btn.caption("Quit");
btn.events().click(API::exit); // API::exit is a function that is triggered on click
fm.show();
exec();
}
