Visage is a GPU-accelerated, cross-platform C++ library for native UI and 2D graphics. It merges the structure of a UI framework with the features of a creative graphics libraries.

#include <visage/app.h>
int main() {
 visage::ApplicationWindow app;
 app.onDraw() = [&app](visage::Canvas& canvas) {
 canvas.setColor(0xffff00ff);
 canvas.fill(0, 0, app.width(), app.height());
 };
 app.show(800, 600); // Opens as 800 x 600 pixel window
 app.runEventLoop(); // Runs window events. Returns when window is closed.
 return 0;

• Event Normalization
  Cross-platform support for keyboard and mouse input normalization.

• Window Normalization
  Cross-platform support for opening and handling windows.

• Text entry
  Unicode text entry with multi line text editing

• ✨ Emojis ✨
  If you're into that kind of thing 🤷

• Partial Rendering
  Redraws only the dirty regions for optimal performance.

• Fluid motion
  New frames are displayed at the monitor's refresh rate and animations are smooth

• Automatic Shape Batching
  Automatically groups shapes for efficient GPU rendering.

• Blend Modes
  Supports blending layers with additive, subtractive or by drawing a custom mask for the UI to pass through

• Shaders
  Write shaders once and transpile them for Direct3d, Metal and OpenGL

• Included Effects
  Real-time effects such as large blur and bloom

• Pixel Accuracy
  Access to device pixel size ensures precise rendering without blurring.

• Windows: Direct3D11
• MacOS: Metal
• Linux: Vulkan
• Web/Emscripten: WebGL
