Clip Library

Documentation

Check the API reference.

How to use it?

You can add a submodule into your git repository:

git submodule add https://github.com/dacap/clip.git clip

Then you can add the clip subdirectory in your CMakeLists.txt file:

# Disable clip examples and tests
set(CLIP_EXAMPLES OFF CACHE BOOL "Compile clip examples")
set(CLIP_TESTS OFF CACHE BOOL "Compile clip tests")

# In case that you have ${PNG_LIBRARY} set to support copy/paste images on Linux
#set(CLIP_X11_PNG_LIBRARY "${PNG_LIBRARY}")

# Add clip subdirectory to compile the library
add_subdirectory(clip)

Finally your project will need to be linked with the clip library:

target_link_libraries(my-project clip)

And then you can include the clip/clip.h file (or just clip.h) to start using the library:

#include "clip/clip.h"

int main() {
  clip::set_text("Hello World");
}
