## What it is
TGUI is a cross-platform modern C++ GUI library providing widgets, theming, and a GUI builder tool. It supports multiple rendering backends including SFML, SDL, GLFW, and raylib.

## Use cases
- add a gui to an sfml game
- create menus and settings screens in c++
- build ui widgets on top of sdl
- design forms with a gui builder and load them at runtime
- cross-platform c++ user interface for desktop and mobile
- render widgets with opengl or raylib

## When to choose
- you need a widget-based GUI in a C++ game or multimedia app using SFML, SDL, GLFW, or raylib
- you want cross-platform support including Android, iOS, and Emscripten
- you prefer a lightweight, permissively licensed (Zlib) GUI library with a visual builder

## When to avoid
- you need native OS look-and-feel widgets for desktop applications
- your project is not in C++ or does not use a supported rendering backend
- you need a full application framework rather than a widget library

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, gui
- domain: cross-platform, desktop-applications
- platform: windows, cpp, wasm
- tags: sfml, sdl, glfw, raylib, widgets, gui-builder, gamedev, theming, game-development, linux, macos, android, ios
