IupEu - IUP wrapper for Euphoria

IUP - Portable User Interface - http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/

This wrapper aims at being both a 1 to 1 mapping of the C IUP interface and another Euphoria layer on top of the C interface to make things a delight for the Euphoria programmer. It consists of a few include files. Note: The below links contains the documentation for the files, to download IupEu, see the next sections “Installing Iup” and “Installing IupEu”.

Core Libraries

• iup.e – Main Iup system and basic controls
• iupcontrols.e – Additional, but non-standard, controls that are included with Iup
• iupimage.e – Stock graphic icons for buttons and menus
• iupim.e – Load and Save images (for display, buttons, menus, etc…)

Euphoria Helpers

• iupeu.e – Euphoria based helpers to make Iup easier yet to work with
• [[iupeucontrols.e?]] – Euphoria based helpers to make IupControls? easier yet to work with

Miscellaneous

• IupProblemFunctions – Functions I am having problems with wrapping

Installing Iup

For Windows, I have included the runtime DLL files necessary for IupEu: iup-2.6-win32runtime.zip. If you choose, you can download them from the Iup site directly using the URL’s listed below for the Unix based install. If you choose that method, you only need to download one of the DLL packages for each item (IM, CD and IUP). You do not need sources, include files, etc… (unless of course you wish to compile Iup for yourself).

For Unix, since there is a wide variety of kernels, glibc, etc… it’s best if you download the proper libraries for yourself, or compile Iup from sources. Iup is made up of several libraries, of which, I have only wrapped the GUI side of things. There are other libraries for dealing with imaging and plotting that I will wrap in the near future (date of writing: 4/12/2008). You are best to install all of these libraries.
