PluginGuiMagic: A WYSWYG runtime design system for JUCE Plugins
JUCE is a framework, that allows to write cross platform audio applications and DAW Plugins. Adding the foleys_plugin_magic module allows to have a generated UI, that can be edited at runtime using advanced layout and styling options. It also adds visualisers to display signals, levels and spectra with no extra coding involved.
PluginGuiMagic is not just for prototyping, the layout, visualisations and styling can be used in the final product.

Features
The module will display an editor panel attached outside of the ProcessorEditor you are editing. In three resizeable sections it displays the Components as tree structure (DOM), a property editor to adjust settings and colours in a CSS manor and a palette of available Components. You can add your own bespoke Components without modifying the code to be available for the designer.
These are some of the already available Components:
- Slider
- ToggleButton, TextButton
- ComboBox
- Label
- XY-Dragger
- LevelMeter, Plot
- MidiKeyboardComponent
- WebBrowserComponent
And those Visualisers are already present:
- LevelMeter
- Oscilloscope
- Frequency Analyser
- IIR FrequencyResponsePlot
