Clay - High-Performance UI Layout Library in C
Clay is a high-performance UI layout library written in C, designed for applications where speed and efficiency are paramount, offering precise control over element positioning and sizing.
Project Introduction
Summary
Clay is a minimalist, high-performance library for calculating UI layouts in C. It's built for speed and integration into performance-sensitive graphics applications, games, or custom UI toolkits.
Problem Solved
Existing UI layout solutions often introduce overhead or lack the fine-grained control required for performance-critical applications, especially in environments where C is the primary language. Clay addresses this by providing a lean, fast, and controllable layout engine.
Core Features
Optimized Performance
Provides extremely fast layout calculation for complex UI hierarchies, minimizing rendering bottlenecks.
Flexible & Backend Agnostic
Offers a flexible API for defining layouts using standard layout paradigms, adaptable to various rendering backends.
Tech Stack
Use Cases
Clay is suitable for any project requiring fast and efficient UI layout computation in C, particularly where minimal dependencies and maximum performance are desired.
Game UI Rendering
Details
Integrating Clay into a custom game engine's UI system for laying out menus, HUDs, and in-game interfaces with minimal performance cost.
User Value
Achieve smooth and responsive UI layouts even with complex scene rendering, avoiding frame rate drops.
Custom Application UI
Details
Using Clay as the layout engine for a lightweight, performance-critical desktop or embedded application's user interface.
User Value
Build applications with precise control over UI rendering and layout, optimized for specific hardware or performance needs.
