The C++ UI design libraries are an important part of any modern C++ project. These libraries are used to create the user interface of your application. They provide a foundation for developing powerful user interfaces that can be easily customized and accessed by the developers. There are many different libraries available to help you create the UI of your application. However, it's important that you choose a library that suits your needs when developing a user interface for your application. The following section will discuss some of the most popular libraries and their main features. imgui is a high-level wrapper around OpenGL, which is used to create interactive 2D graphics. The goal is to provide a modern and simple API for the rendering of computer graphics. DearPyGui is a Python UI toolkit for game development, with an emphasis on simplicity and usability. It supports both 4K and 16K resolutions in any display mode, as well as multiple monitors. The library provides a variety of components for user interface design, including buttons, sliders, text boxes, checkboxes, toggle switches and more. There is also built-in support for animation effects like easing functions and looping options. FTXUI is a 2D UI library written in C++11 with the goal of providing an intuitive graphical interface for applications that need to consume some form of data from clients over the network. It can be used as a full replacement to wxWidgets or Qt Quick UI libraries with similar capabilities but with lower overhead than those libraries. Full list of the best open source C++ UI design libraries are below
