ofmUI

ofmUI is a lightweight mobile UI library specifically crafted for the openFrameworks mobile framework. Recognizing the relative deficiency of UI components in openFrameworks mobile, which somewhat hinders developers' ability to construct complex applications, I decided to create ofmUI.

It offers approximately 20 diverse UI components, including ofmView, ofmPanel, ofmImage, ofmDialog, among others, to cater to a wide range of interface design requirements. Furthermore, ofmUI is equipped with animation tools like ofmTween and ofmTransition, enhancing the vibrancy and dynamism of the UI. To improve intra-application communication, ofmUI also integrates event communication tools like ofmEventBus and ofmEvent, ensuring seamless collaboration among components.

Moreover, it is cross-platform, meaning you don't have to rack your brain trying to invoke native UI within your project. By using it, you can maintain consistent presentation across iOS and Android without having to deal with more complex native interactions. Since it sits on the same display layer as your other elements, it significantly simplifies the development process, leading to improved efficiency and enhanced user experience.

Features

• More than 20 kinds of UI components
• ofmView page-level component
• Various page view switching animations
• Form related components
• Easily set themes, fonts, etc.
• ofmTween and ofmTransition animation tools

Installation

To use ofmUI, first you need to download openFrameworks-IOS or openFrameworks-Android.

To get a copy of the repository you can download the source from http://github.com/drawcall/ofmUI or, alternatively, you can use git clone:

git clone git://github.com/drawcall/ofmUI.git.
The addon should sit in openFrameworks/addons/ofmUI/.

To run the examples, import them into the project generator, create a new project, and open the project file in your IDE.

Useage

Include main file

#include"ofmMain.h"

Add and set component functions

// dialog ui
ofmDialog* dialog = new ofmDialog();
dialog->text = "Hello World";
dialog->hasCloseBtn = true;
dialog->panelColor = ofColor::fromHex(0xffffff);
dialog->setXY("50%", "50%");
dialog->height = 700;
uiLayer->addChild(dialog);
// text label
ofmLabel* label = new ofmLabel();
label->text = "Form Dialog";
label->color = ofColor::fromHex(0xccffee);
label->setXY(0, -300);
dialog->addChild(label);
// slider
ofmSlider* slider = new ofmSlider();
slider->value = 0.7;
slider->title = "Scale Value";
slider->hasBar = true;
slider->key = "scale";
slider->setXY(0, -150);
dialog->addChild(slider);

Develop business logic related to pages

// root pagevoidRootPage::setup() {
ofmRootView::setup();
loadFont("ofmui/fonts/Verdana.ttf", 24);
addMainView(newPage1());
addListener();
}
voidRootPage::onBtnTouchDown(ofmTouch& touch) {
if (touch.id == "btn1") {
navigateTo(newPage1(), "rollRight");
} elseif (touch.id == "btn2") {
navigateTo(newPage2());
} elseif (touch.id == "btn3") {
navigateTo(newPage3(), "moveLeft");
}
}
// child pageclassPage1 : publicofmView {...

Event dispatch related

voidRootPage::addListener() {
ofmEventBus::instance()->on("UpdateValues", [](map<string, float>& values) {
cout << "--------------------" << endl;
for (map<string, float>::iterator it = values.begin();
it != values.end(); ++it) {
std::cout << it->first << "" << it->second << endl;
}
});
ofmEventBus::instance()->emit("Hello");
}

How to set theme

ofmTheme::instance()->setTheme("green");
ofmTheme::instance()->color = 0x1677FF;
// The attributes are as followsint color = 0x1677FF;
int backColor = 0xd7d7d7;
int frontColor = 0x1677FF;
int closeColor = 0x1890ff;
int barColor = 0x0049ad;
int textColor = 0x222222;
int btnTextColor = 0xFFFFFF;
int panelColor = 0xDDDDDD;
int drawerColor = 0xFFFFFF;
// font sizefloat fontSize = 24;
// global roundfloat round = 10;
// buttonfloat buttonWidth = 300;
float buttonHeight = 80;

Here's a simple example of using animation.

// tweenofmTween::to(&btn->rotation, 180, 0, 0.6, EASE_OUT_BACK);
ofmTween::to(&ball.radius, r, 0, 1, EASE_OUT_BOUNCE);
// transitionofmTrans::fadeAppear(&ball, 0.5, EASE_OUT);
