-# Native GUI Frameworks
-
-Comprehensive guide to pure Rust GUI frameworks: egui, iced, slint, and druid. When you need maximum performance, no web dependencies, or specialized UI patterns.
-
-## Framework Overview
-
-### Comparison Matrix
-
-| Framework | Paradigm | Rendering | Best For | Maturity | Bundle Size |
-|-----------|----------|-----------|----------|----------|-------------|
-| **egui** | Immediate Mode | CPU (optional GPU) | Tools, editors, games | Mature | ~3MB |
-| **iced** | Elm Architecture | GPU (wgpu) | Cross-platform apps | Growing | ~5MB |
-| **slint** | Declarative | GPU/CPU | Embedded, desktop | Mature | ~4MB |
-| **druid** | Data-first | GPU (piet) | Reactive apps | Maintenance | ~4MB |
-
-### When to Use Each
-
-**egui (Immediate Mode)**
-- ✅ Game editors, debug tools, developer tools
-- ✅ Rapid prototyping, quick iterations
-- ✅ Dynamic UIs that change frequently
-- ✅ Integration with game engines (Bevy, macroquad)
-- ❌ Complex state management
-- ❌ Strict design systems
-
-**iced (Elm Architecture)**
-- ✅ Cross-platform consistency
-- ✅ Type-safe state management
-- ✅ Predictable updates
-- ✅ Custom widgets
-- ❌ Steep learning curve
-- ❌ Limited ecosystem
-
-**slint (Declarative UI)**
-- ✅ Embedded systems, IoT devices
-- ✅ Designer-developer collaboration
-- ✅ Declarative markup language

-## egui - Immediate Mode GUI
-
-### Architecture
-
-Immediate mode means UI is rebuilt every frame based on current state. No separate UI tree or state synchronization.
-
-**Core Concepts:**
-```rust
-// Every frame:
-1. Read input events
-2. Run application logic
-3. Build UI from scratch
-4. Render output
-```
-
-### Setup
-
-```toml
-# Cargo.toml
-[dependencies]
-eframe = "0.27"  # egui + native windowing
-egui = "0.27"
-
-# Optional: Additional widgets
-egui_extras = "0.27"
-egui_plot = "0.27"
-```
-
-### Basic Application
-
-```rust
-use eframe::egui;
-
-fn main() -> Result<(), eframe::Error> {
-    let options = eframe::NativeOptions {
-        viewport: egui::ViewportBuilder::default()
-            .with_inner_size([800.0, 600.0]),
-        ..Default::default()
-    };
-
-    eframe::run_native(
-        "My egui App",
-        options,
-        Box::new(|_cc| Box::new(MyApp::default())),
-    )
-}
-
-struct MyApp {
-    name: String,
-    age: u32,
-}
-
-impl Default for MyApp {
-    fn default() -> Self {
-        Self {
-            name: "Arthur".to_owned(),
-            age: 42,
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-impl eframe::App for MyApp {
-    fn update(&mut self, ctx: &egui::Context, _frame: &mut eframe::Frame) {
-        egui::CentralPanel::default().show(ctx, |ui| {
-            ui.heading("My egui Application");
-
-            ui.horizontal(|ui| {
-                ui.label("Name:");
-                ui.text_edit_singleline(&mut self.name);
-            });
-
-            ui.add(egui::Slider::new(&mut self.age, 0..=120).text("age"));
-
-            if ui.button("Click me!").clicked() {
-                println!("Hello, {}! You are {} years old.", self.name, self.age);
-            }
-        });
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Layout Patterns
-
-```rust
-impl eframe::App for MyApp {
-    fn update(&mut self, ctx: &egui::Context, _frame: &mut eframe::Frame) {
-        // Top panel
-        egui::TopBottomPanel::top("top_panel").show(ctx, |ui| {
-            egui::menu::bar(ui, |ui| {
-                ui.menu_button("File", |ui| {
-                    if ui.button("Open").clicked() {
-                        // Handle open
-                    }
-                    if ui.button("Save").clicked() {
-                        // Handle save
-                    }
-                });
-            });
-        });
-
-        // Side panel
-        egui::SidePanel::left("side_panel").show(ctx, |ui| {
-            ui.heading("Settings");
-            ui.separator();
-            // Settings content
-        });
-
-        // Bottom panel
-        egui::TopBottomPanel::bottom("bottom_panel").show(ctx, |ui| {
-            ui.horizontal(|ui| {
-                ui.label("Status: Ready");
-            });
-        });
-
-        // Central panel (fills remaining space)
-        egui::CentralPanel::default().show(ctx, |ui| {
-            ui.heading("Main Content");
-            // Main application content
-        });
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Widgets
-
-```rust
-// Text input
-ui.text_edit_singleline(&mut self.text);
-ui.text_edit_multiline(&mut self.multiline_text);
-
-// Buttons
-if ui.button("Click me").clicked() { }
-if ui.small_button("Small").clicked() { }
-ui.add_enabled(false, egui::Button::new("Disabled"));
-
-// Checkboxes and radio
-ui.checkbox(&mut self.checked, "Check me");
-ui.radio_value(&mut self.choice, Choice::A, "Option A");
-ui.radio_value(&mut self.choice, Choice::B, "Option B");
-
-// Sliders and drag values
-ui.add(egui::Slider::new(&mut self.value, 0.0..=100.0));
-ui.add(egui::DragValue::new(&mut self.value).speed(0.1));
-
-// Combo box (dropdown)
-egui::ComboBox::from_label("Select item")
-    .selected_text(format!("{:?}", self.selected))
-    .show_ui(ui, |ui| {
-        ui.selectable_value(&mut self.selected, Item::A, "Item A");
-        ui.selectable_value(&mut self.selected, Item::B, "Item B");
-    });
-
-// Color picker
-ui.color_edit_button_rgb(&mut self.color);
-
-// Images
-ui.image(egui::include_image!("icon.png"));
-
-// Plotting
-use egui_plot::{Line, Plot, PlotPoints};
-let sin: PlotPoints = (0..1000)
-    .map(|i| {
-        let x = i as f64 * 0.01;
-        [x, x.sin()]
-    })
-    .collect();
-Plot::new("my_plot").show(ui, |plot_ui| {
-    plot_ui.line(Line::new(sin));
-});
-```
-
-### Custom Widgets
-
-```rust
-fn custom_widget(ui: &mut egui::Ui, value: &mut f32) -> egui::Response {
-    let desired_size = ui.spacing().interact_size.y * egui::vec2(2.0, 1.0);
-    let (rect, response) = ui.allocate_exact_size(desired_size, egui::Sense::click());
-
-    if ui.is_rect_visible(rect) {
-        let visuals = ui.style().interact(&response);
-        let rect = rect.expand(visuals.expansion);
-        let radius = 0.5 * rect.height();
-
-        ui.painter()
-            .rect(rect, radius, visuals.bg_fill, visuals.bg_stroke);
-
-        // Draw custom content
-        let text = format!("{:.1}", value);
-        ui.painter().text(
-            rect.center(),
-            egui::Align2::CENTER_CENTER,
-            text,
-            egui::FontId::default(),
-            visuals.text_color(),
-        );
-    }
-
-    response
-}
-```
-
-### State Management with egui
-
-```rust
-use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};
-
-struct SharedState {
-    data: Arc<Mutex<AppData>>,
-}
-
-struct AppData {
-    counter: i32,
-    items: Vec<String>,
-}
-
-impl eframe::App for MyApp {
-    fn update(&mut self, ctx: &egui::Context, _frame: &mut eframe::Frame) {
-        let mut data = self.state.data.lock().unwrap();
-
-        egui::CentralPanel::default().show(ctx, |ui| {
-            ui.label(format!("Counter: {}", data.counter));
-
-            if ui.button("Increment").clicked() {
-                data.counter += 1;
-            }
-
-            for item in &data.items {
-                ui.label(item);
-            }
-        });
-    }
-}
-```

-## slint - Declarative UI
-
-### Architecture
-
-Slint uses a declarative markup language (.slint files) compiled to Rust code.
-
-### Setup
-
-```toml
-[dependencies]
-slint = "1.5"
-
-[build-dependencies]
-slint-build = "1.5"
-```
-
-**build.rs:**
-```rust
-fn main() {
-    slint_build::compile("ui/app.slint").unwrap();
-}
-```
-
-### Basic Application
-
-**ui/app.slint:**
-```slint
-import { Button, VerticalBox, HorizontalBox, LineEdit } from "std-widgets.slint";
-
-export component App inherits Window {
-    in-out property<int> counter: 0;
-    in-out property<string> name: "World";
-
-    VerticalBox {
-        Text {
-            text: "Counter: \{counter}";
-            font-size: 24px;
-        }
-
-        HorizontalBox {
-            Button {
-                text: "Increment";
-                clicked => {
-                    counter += 1;
-                }
-            }
-
-            Button {
-                text: "Decrement";
-                clicked => {
-                    counter -= 1;
-                }
-            }
-        }
-
-        LineEdit {
-            placeholder-text: "Enter name";
-            text <=> name;
-        }
-
-        Text {
-            text: "Hello, \{name}!";
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**main.rs:**
-```rust
-slint::include_modules!();
-
-fn main() {
-    let app = App::new().unwrap();
-
-    // Access properties
-    app.set_counter(10);
-    println!("Counter: {}", app.get_counter());
-
-    // Run application
-    app.run().unwrap();
-}
-```
-
-### Advanced slint Features
-
-**Callbacks:**
-```slint
-export component App inherits Window {
-    callback button-clicked(string);
-
-    Button {
-        text: "Click me";
-        clicked => {
-            button-clicked("Button was clicked!");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-```rust
-slint::include_modules!();
-
-fn main() {
-    let app = App::new().unwrap();
-
-    app.on_button_clicked(|msg| {
-        println!("Callback: {}", msg);
-    });
-
-    app.run().unwrap();
-}
-```
-
-**Custom Structs:**
-```slint
-export struct Person {
-    name: string,
-    age: int,
-}
-
-export component App inherits Window {
-    in-out property<Person> user: { name: "Alice", age: 30 };
-
-    Text {
-        text: "\{user.name} is \{user.age} years old";
-    }
-}
-```
-
-```rust
-use slint::Model;
-
-slint::include_modules!();
-
-fn main() {
-    let app = App::new().unwrap();
-
-    let person = Person {
-        name: "Bob".into(),
-        age: 25,
-    };
-    app.set_user(person);
-
-    app.run().unwrap();
-}
-```
-
-**Lists and Models:**
-```slint
-export component App inherits Window {
-    in-out property<[string]> items: ["Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"];
-
-    VerticalBox {
-        for item in items: Text {
-            text: item;
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-```rust
-use slint::{Model, ModelRc, VecModel};
-
-slint::include_modules!();
-
-fn main() {
-    let app = App::new().unwrap();
-
-    let model = Rc::new(VecModel::from(vec![
-        "Dynamic Item 1".into(),
-        "Dynamic Item 2".into(),
-    ]));
-
-    app.set_items(ModelRc::from(model.clone()));
-
-    app.run().unwrap();

-## druid (Archived - Reference Only)
-
-Druid is in maintenance mode but offers valuable patterns for data-driven UIs.
-
-### Core Concepts
-
-**Lens Pattern:**
-```rust
-use druid::widget::{Button, Flex, Label, TextBox};
-use druid::{AppLauncher, Data, Lens, Widget, WindowDesc};
-
-#[derive(Clone, Data, Lens)]
-struct AppState {
-    name: String,
-    count: u32,
-}
-
-fn build_ui() -> impl Widget<AppState> {
-    Flex::column()
-        .with_child(Label::new(|data: &AppState, _env: &_| {
-            format!("Hello, {}!", data.name)
-        }))
-        .with_child(TextBox::new().lens(AppState::name))
-        .with_child(Label::new(|data: &AppState, _env: &_| {
-            format!("Count: {}", data.count)
-        }))
-        .with_child(Button::new("Increment").on_click(|_ctx, data: &mut AppState, _env| {
-            data.count += 1;
-        }))
-}
-
-fn main() {
-    let main_window = WindowDesc::new(build_ui())
-        .title("Druid App")
-        .window_size((400.0, 300.0));
-
-    let initial_state = AppState {
-        name: "World".to_string(),
-        count: 0,
-    };
-
-    AppLauncher::with_window(main_window)
-        .launch(initial_state)
-        .expect("Failed to launch application");
-}

-## Framework Selection Guide
-
-### Decision Tree
-
-```
-Choose GUI framework based on:
-
-Project Type:
-├─ Game editor, debug tools → egui
-├─ Cross-platform app with complex state → iced
-├─ Embedded device, touch interface → slint
-└─ Data-driven (consider alternatives) → druid/iced
-
-Development Speed:
-├─ Rapid prototyping → egui
-├─ Type-safe architecture → iced
-└─ Designer collaboration → slint
-
-Performance Needs:
-├─ 60+ FPS immediate updates → egui
-├─ GPU-accelerated rendering → iced/slint
-└─ Minimal CPU usage → slint
-
-Team Experience:
-├─ Immediate mode GUI → egui
-├─ Elm/functional programming → iced
-└─ QML/declarative UI → slint
-```
-
-### Migration Paths
-
-**From web to native:**
-- Tauri → egui: Extract backend, rebuild UI
-- React → iced: Messages ≈ Actions, State ≈ Model
-
-**Between native frameworks:**
-- egui → iced: Refactor to Elm architecture
-- iced → slint: Extract logic, rebuild in .slint
-
-## Production Tips
-
-### Performance
-
-**egui:**
-- Use `ui.ctx().request_repaint()` sparingly
-- Cache expensive computations
-- Profile with `puffin` profiler
-
-**iced:**
-- Minimize `Command` usage
-- Use `subscription` for continuous updates
-- Batch state updates
-
-**slint:**
-- Use `property` bindings efficiently
-- Optimize model updates
-- Profile with built-in tools
-
-### Distribution
-
-All frameworks support:
-- Static binaries (3-10MB)
-- Cross-compilation
-- Native installers (MSI, DMG, DEB)
-
-### Testing
-
-**egui:**
-```rust
-#[cfg(test)]
-mod tests {
-    use super::*;
-
-    #[test]
-    fn test_app_logic() {
-        let mut app = MyApp::default();
-        // Test state changes
-        assert_eq!(app.counter, 0);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**iced:**
-```rust
-#[cfg(test)]
-mod tests {
-    use super::*;
-
-    #[test]
-    fn test_update() {
-        let mut app = Counter::new();
-        app.update(Message::Increment);
-        assert_eq!(app.value, 1);
-    }
-}
-```
