Hi, no this library doesn't generate PayPal buttons or forms:

This library focuses on the “post-payment” workflow, i.e. the processing required once the payment has been made and PayPal has posted an Instant Payment Notification call to the IPN listener (aka your CodeIgniter IPN controller). All pre-payment functionality (e.g. posting the checkout information to PayPal) and custom post-payment workflow (e.g. sending emails) is left as an exercise to the reader.

Closing this ticket as I have no plan to add this functionality.
