### Modules
`gui = require 'quickie'`
* Main module. Includes all other modules.
`gui.core = require 'quickie.core'`
* Core functionality: Input, display, widget internals, ...
`gui.style = require 'quickie.style-default'`
* Default widget style. May be replaced by custom style.
`gui.Button = require 'quickie.button'`
* Button widget.
`gui.Slider = require 'quickie.slider'`
* Slider widget.
`gui.Slider2D = require 'quickie.slider2d'`
* 2D slider widget.
`gui.Label = require 'quickie.label'`
* Label widget.
`gui.Input = require 'quickie.input'`
* Input box widget.
`gui.Checkbox = require 'quickie.checkbox'`
* Check box widget.
### Widgets
* Widgets are functions; they should return `true` if the state has changed.
* Widgets don't manage state. That's your job.
* Calling a widget function creates the widget for the current frame only.
* Widgets will be shown using `gui.core.draw()`. See the example above.
#### Button
```lua
function gui.Button(label, x,y,w,h, widgetHit, draw)
```
**Parameters:**
* *string* `label`: Button label.
* *numbers* `x,y,w,h`: Hit box.
* *function* `widgetHit`: Custom mouse hit function *(optional)*.
* *function* `draw`: Custom widget style *(optional)*.
**Returns:**
* `true` if button was activated.
**Hit test function prototype:**
```lua
function widgetHit(mouse_x, mouse_y, x,y,w,h)
```
**Style function prototype:**
```lua
function draw(state, title, x,y,w,h)
```
#### Slider
```lua
function gui.Slider(info, x,y,w,h, widgetHit, draw)
```
**Parameters:**
* *table* `info`: Widget info table. Fields:
* *number* `info.value`: The slider value *(required)*.
* *number* `info.min`: Minimum value *(optional, default = 0)*.
* *number* `info.max`: Maximum value *(optional, default = max(value, 1))*.
* *number* `info.step`: Step for keyboard input *(optional, default = (max-min)/50)*.
* *boolean* `info.vertical`: Flags slider as vertical *(optional, default = false)*.
* *numbers* `x,y,w,h`: Hit box.
* *function* `widgetHit`: Custom mouse hit function *(optional)*.
* *function* `draw`: Custom widget style *(optional)*.
**Returns:**
* `true` if slider value changed.
**Hit test function prototype:**
