Real output from real C++ programs
These are captures from executables shipped in the repository—not design mockups. Each example isolates a useful rendering or interaction pattern and links directly to its source.
VectorGL Showcase
A cohesive interface scene demonstrating SDF primitives, paths, transforms, glow layers, text, and perceptual Oklab color interpolation.

Node Editor
A practical editor with draggable nodes, Bézier connections, port replacement, zoom, pan, selection, deletion, a palette, and minimap.

Path Laboratory
Stars, waves, spirographs, cubic curves, compound contours, strokes, fills, transforms, and animated dashboard cards.
View source →
Animation System
Tween, spring, keyframe, loop, and ping-pong motion displayed across synchronized shapes and color transitions.

Nested Clipping
Animated overflow, rounded stencil masks, nested clip intersections, a scrolling activity feed, and save/restore state in one focused UI composition.
