Demos

This repository includes several small demo applications.

Use the gallery in two ways: browse by feature if you are solving a concrete problem, or open the individual pages as reference implementations when you want to study real code.

Building the Demo Applications

When this repository is used as the top-level project, the demo applications are built automatically.

If you integrate the project into a larger build or disabled demos previously, you can enable them explicitly during configuration:

$ cmake -B cmake-build-debug -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DERBSLAND_COLOR_TERM_ENABLE_DEMOS=ON .
$ cmake --build cmake-build-debug

After a successful build, you will find the demo executables in cmake-build-debug/demo-apps/.
