Package: ui | Status: source-declared

Tags: cpu, function, source-example, ui, yeho

Build YUI's reusable control, layout, interaction, text, accessibility, and retained-rendering models.

```yh
external CreateYuiPaintPrimitive(text kind, text layer, int x, int y, int width, int height, text fill, text stroke, int alpha, text clip, text textRun, text icon) returns yuiPaintPrimitive
```


## Use CreateYuiPaintPrimitive

A complete small caller. Values are illustrative; check the returned result and package requirements before connecting live resources.

Verification: type checked

```yh
using ui

// Build YUI's reusable control, layout, interaction, text, accessibility, and retained-rendering models.
text kind = "kind"
text layer = "layer"
int x = 1
int y = 1
int width = 1
int height = 1
text fill = "fill"
text stroke = "stroke"
int alpha = 1
text clip = "clip"
text textRun = "text Run"
text icon = "icon"
yuiPaintPrimitive result = CreateYuiPaintPrimitive(kind, layer, x, y, width, height, fill, stroke, alpha, clip, textRun, icon)
Console.Log("Inspect result in your debugger")

```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
manifestVersion = "2"
package = "api.example.ui__createyuipaintprimitive"
version = "0.1.0"
languageEdition = "yeho-core-2026.1"

[app]
kind = "headless"

[[dependencies]]
package = "graphics.image"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/graphics/image"

[[dependencies]]
package = "graphics.text"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/graphics/text"

[[dependencies]]
package = "host.ui_services"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/host/ui_services"

[[dependencies]]
package = "ui"
version = "0.2.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/ui"

```

Extract the example archive beside the yeho and dolphin checkouts. This example requires those source dependencies and a current developer compiler.

```sh
./yeho/build/dolphin-metal/yehoc ./api-examples/ui--CreateYuiPaintPrimitive/usage --backend cpu-oracle -o /tmp/yeho-example
/tmp/yeho-example
```


Package presence and a declaration do not establish support on every host. Host services need their platform and lifecycle setup.
