Description
IUP is a multi-platform toolkit for building graphical user interfaces. IUP's purpose is to allow a program source code to be compiled in different systems without any modification. Its main advantages are:
It offers a simple API.
High performance, due to the fact that it uses native interface elements.
Fast learning by the user, due to the simplicity of its API.
