LibAgar is a cross-platform GUI system. It provides a base framework and a standard toolkit of widgets from which high-performance, portable graphical applications can be built.
The toolkit is extensible through class registration. A powerful style engine allows precise control over the appearance of elements. Agar applications work under X Windows, MS Windows, MacOS, SDL (1.2 and 2.0) and others. It can attach to an existing graphical context and work as a self-contained window manager. Agar is fully thread-safe when built with threads support.
Agar is open-source software. Its source code is freely usable and Re-usable by everyone under a permissive BSD License and its Core Fonts are released under the OFL. The best available version is v1.7.0.
