A C++ presentation library with LaTeX support.

Features

• Draw primitives (circle, rectangle, triangle, line, ellipse) filled and outlined
• Render text with custom font
• Handle LaTeX equation (make use of pdflatex and convert of ImageMagick)
• Handle creation of custom themes (color, font, title position, background, ...)

Installation

• To build PresLib, you need SDL2, the Vulkan SDK and CMake installed on your system

• Download the repo and its submodules :

  git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Dv-Senna/PresLib.git

• Create a build folder :

  mkdir build
  cd build

• Configure with

  cmake ..

• Use your tools (makefile, visual studio solution, etc) to build the project

• Run build/sandbox/PresLib_sandbox from the root of the repo

Usage

You can use directly the project to code your own presentation. Just open sandbox/src/main.cpp and start typing new code.

Warning
It's recommended to encased the code in a try-catch block. Know that each error will throw an exception derivated from std::exception.

To use the library, start by creating a pl::Instance. Most function in PresLib take their paramaters as a pl::Foo::CreateInfo structure. This allow you to name your arguments and to pass only the arguments you want (except for the mandatory ones). Register a new slide to the instance and register a block (here a rectangle) to the slide. Don't forget to run the instance. You're done !

#include <exception>
#include <iostream>
#include <pl/preslib.hpp>

int main(int, char *[]) {
	try {
		pl::Instance::CreateInfos instanceCreateInfos {};
		instanceCreateInfos.presentationName = "Example";
		instanceCreateInfos.viewportSize = {16*70, 9*70};
		pl::Instance instance {instanceCreateInfos};


		pl::Slide::CreateInfos slideCreateInfos {};
		slideCreateInfos.viewportSize = {-1, -1};
		pl::Slide slide {slideCreateInfos};

		instance.registerSlide("slide", &slide);

		pl::blocks::Triangle::CreateInfos triangleCreateInfos {};
		triangleCreateInfos.color = {1.f, 0.f, 0.f};
		triangleCreateInfos.position = {0.f, 0.f, 0.f};
		triangleCreateInfos.vertices = {
			pl::Vec3f(0.f, 0.5f, 0.f),
			pl::Vec3f(0.5f, -0.5f, 0.f),
			pl::Vec3f(-0.5f, -0.5f, 0.f)
		};
		pl::blocks::Triangle triangle {triangleCreateInfos};
		slide.registerBlock(&triangle);

		instance.mainloop();
	}

	catch (const std::exception &exception) {
		std::cerr << "ERROR : " << exception.what() << std::endl;
		return EXIT_FAILURE;
	}

	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
