Laya Examples

This directory contains example programs demonstrating various features of the laya library.

Running Examples

All executables accept --ci to run a fixed number of iterations and exit automatically.

# Linux/macOS
./examples/events/laya_examples_event_view_basic --ci

# Windows
.\examples\events\Release\laya_examples_event_view_basic.exe --ci

Shared helpers for argument parsing and CI timing live in examples/common/example_base.hpp.

Available Examples

events/

• laya_examples_event_view_basic: zero-allocation events_view, quit on ESC/close.
• laya_examples_event_range_multipass: events_range with multi-pass processing and typed window data helpers.
• laya_examples_window_event_data: focused window event data access (get_position, get_size, get_display).
• laya_examples_quit_and_escape: minimal quit handling via close button or ESC.

logging/

• laya_examples_logging_basics_levels: log levels and format strings.
• laya_examples_logging_categories_priority: category logging and temporary priority overrides.
• laya_examples_logging_color_output: optional colored output (skips in CI).
• laya_examples_logging_render_loop: render loop with periodic logging and quit handling.

rendering/

• laya_examples_render_clear_screen: clear/present loop with quit handling.
