Functions

func DebugEnumSizes

func DebugEnumSizes()

func HasStarted

func HasStarted() bool

func Quit

func Quit()

Quit can be called to close the main thread started by Start()

func Run

func Run(mainrun func())

Main is run in a main package to start the GUI driver / event loop, and call given function as the effective "main" function.

func Start

func Start()

Start is called via a library to start the driver -- dynamic libraries in Go do not run in the main thread, so this needs to be called after loading the library. This call will never return, so another thread must be launched prior to calling this in the main thread. That thread can call gimain.Quit() to close this main thread.
