Issue numbers (#) refer to github issues listed at https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues
|
||||
The list below consist mostly of ideas noted down before they are requested/discussed by users (at which point it usually moves to the github)
|
||||
|
||||
- doc: add a proper documentation+regression testing system (#435)
|
||||
- window: add a way for very transient windows (non-saved, temporary overlay over hundreds of objects) to "clean" up from the global window list. perhaps a lightweight explicit cleanup pass.
|
||||
- doc/test: add a proper documentation+regression testing system (#435)
|
||||
- doc/test: checklist app to verify binding/integration of imgui (test inputs, rendering, callback, etc.).
|
||||
- project: folder or separate repository with maintained helpers (e.g. imgui_memory_editor.h, imgui_stl.h, maybe imgui_dock would be there?)
|
||||
|
||||
- window: calling SetNextWindowSize() every frame with <= 0 doesn't do anything, may be useful to allow (particularly when used for a single axis). (#690)
|
||||
- window: add a way for very transient windows (non-saved, temporary overlay over hundreds of objects) to "clean" up from the global window list. perhaps a lightweight explicit cleanup pass.
|
||||
- window: auto-fit feedback loop when user relies on any dynamic layout (window width multiplier, column) appears weird to end-user. clarify.
|
||||
- window: allow resizing of child windows (possibly given min/max for each axis?.)
|
||||
- window: background options for child windows, border option (disable rounding).
|
||||
- window: add a way to clear an existing window instead of appending (e.g. for tooltip override using a consistent api rather than the deferred tooltip) >
|
||||
- window: resizing from any sides? + mouse cursor directives for app.
|
||||
- window: resizing from any sides? + mouse cursor directives for app. (#822)
|
||||
!- window: begin with *p_open == false should return false.
|
||||
- window: get size/pos helpers given names (see discussion in #249)
|
||||
- window: a collapsed window can be stuck behind the main menu bar?
|
||||
- window: when window is small, prioritize resize button over close button.
|
||||
- window: detect extra End() call that pop the "Debug" window out and assert at call site instead of later.
|
||||
- window: when window is very small, prioritize resize button over close button.
|
||||
- window: detect extra End() call that pop the "Debug" window out and assert at End() call site instead of at end of frame.
|
||||
- window/tooltip: allow to set the width of a tooltip to allow TextWrapped() etc. while keeping the height automatic.
|
||||
- window: increase minimum size of a window with menus or fix the menu rendering so that it doesn't look odd.
|
||||
- draw-list: maintaining bounding box per command would allow to merge draw command when clipping isn't relied on (typical non-scrolling window or non-overflowing column would merge with previous command).
|
||||
!- scrolling: allow immediately effective change of scroll after Begin() if we haven't appended items yet
|
||||
- splitter/separator: formalize the splitter idiom into an official api (we want to handle n-way split) (#319)
|
||||
- widgets: display mode: widget-label, label-widget (aligned on column or using fixed size), label-newline-tab-widget etc. (#395)
|
||||
- widgets: clean up widgets internal toward exposing everything.
|
||||
- widgets: add disabled and read-only modes (#211)
|
||||
- window: double-clicking on title bar to minimize isn't consistent, perhaps move to single-click on left-most collapse icon?
|
||||
!- scrolling: allow immediately effective change of scroll after Begin() if we haven't appended items yet.
|
||||
- scrolling/clipping: separator on the initial position of a window is not visible (cursorpos.y <= clippos.y)
|
||||
|
||||
- drawlist: move Font, FontSize, FontTexUvWhitePixel inside ImDrawList and make it self-contained (apart from drawing settings?)
|
||||
- drawlist: end-user probably can't call Clear() directly because we expect a texture to be pushed in the stack.
|
||||
- drawlist: maintaining bounding box per command would allow to merge draw command when clipping isn't relied on (typical non-scrolling window or non-overflowing column would merge with previous command).
|
||||
|
||||
- main: considering adding an Init() function? some constructs are awkward in the implementation because of the lack of them.
|
||||
!- main: make it so that a frame with no window registered won't refocus every window on subsequent frames (~bump LastFrameActive of all windows).
|
||||
- main: find a way to preserve relative orders of multiple reappearing windows (so an app toggling between "modes" e.g. fullscreen vs all tools) won't lose relative ordering.
|
||||
- main: IsItemHovered() make it more consistent for various type of widgets, widgets with multiple components, etc. also effectively IsHovered() region sometimes differs from hot region, e.g tree nodes
|
||||
- main: IsItemHovered() info stored in a stack? so that 'if TreeNode() { Text; TreePop; } if IsHovered' return the hover state of the TreeNode?
|
||||
- input text: clean up the mess caused by converting UTF-8 <> wchar. the code is rather inefficient right now and super fragile.
|
||||
- main: rename the main "Debug" window to avoid ID collision with user who may want to use "Debug" with specific flags
|
||||
|
||||
- widgets: display mode: widget-label, label-widget (aligned on column or using fixed size), label-newline-tab-widget etc. (#395)
|
||||
- widgets: clean up widgets internal toward exposing everything and stabilizing imgui_internals.h.
|
||||
- widgets: add disabled and read-only modes (#211)
|
||||
- widgets: alignment options in style (e.g. center Selectable, Right-Align within Button, etc.) #1260
|
||||
- widgets: activate by identifier (trigger button, focus given id)
|
||||
|
||||
- input text: clean up the mess caused by converting UTF-8 <> wchar. the code is rather inefficient right now and super fragile.
|
||||
- input text: reorganize event handling, allow CharFilter to modify buffers, allow multiple events? (#541)
|
||||
- input text: expose CursorPos in char filter event (#816)
|
||||
- input text: flag to disable live update of the user buffer (also applies to float/int text input)
|
||||
- input text: resize behavior - field could stretch when being edited? hover tooltip shows more text?
|
||||
- input text: access public fields via a non-callback API e.g. InputTextGetState("xxx") that may return NULL if not active.
|
||||
- input text: flag to disable live update of the user buffer (also applies to float/int text input) (#701)
|
||||
- input text: way to dynamically grow the buffer without forcing the user to initially allocate for worse case, e.g. more natural std::string (follow up on #200)
|
||||
- input text: hover tooltip could show unclamped text
|
||||
- input text: add ImGuiInputTextFlags_EnterToApply? (off #218)
|
||||
- input text: easier ways to update buffer (from source char*) while owned. preserve some sort of cursor position for multi-line text.
|
||||
- input text: add discard flag (e.g. ImGuiInputTextFlags_DiscardActiveBuffer) or make it easier to clear active focus for text replacement during edition (#725)
|
||||
- input text: display bug when clicking a drag/slider after an input text in a different window has all-selected text (order dependant). actually a very old bug but no one appears to have noticed it.
|
||||
- input text multi-line: don't directly call AddText() which does an unnecessary vertex reserve for character count prior to clipping. and/or more line-based clipping to AddText(). and/or reorganize TextUnformatted/RenderText for more efficiency for large text (e.g TextUnformatted could clip and log separately, etc).
|
||||
- input text multi-line: way to dynamically grow the buffer without forcing the user to initially allocate for worse case (follow up on #200)
|
||||
- input text multi-line: line numbers? status bar? (follow up on #200)
|
||||
- input text multi-line: behave better when user changes input buffer while editing is active (even though it is illegal behavior). namely, the change of buffer can create a scrollbar glitch (#725)
|
||||
- input text multi-line: better horizontal scrolling support (#383, #1224)

||||
|
||||
!- style: better default styles.

|
||||
- style/optimization: store rounded corners in texture to use 1 quad per corner (filled and wireframe) to lower the cost of rounding.

|
||||
- style: color-box not always square?

|
||||
- style: try to make PushStyleVar() more robust to incorrect parameters (to be more friendly to edit & continues situation).

|
||||
- text: simple markup language for color change?
|
||||
- font: dynamic font atlas to avoid baking huge ranges into bitmap and make scaling easier.
|
||||
- font: small opt: for monospace font (like the defalt one) we can trim IndexXAdvance as long as trailing value is == FallbackXAdvance
|
||||
- font: add support for kerning, probably optional. perhaps default to (32..128)^2 matrix ~ 36KB then hash fallback.
|
||||
- font: add a simpler CalcTextSizeA() api? current one ok but not welcome if user needs to call it directly (without going through ImGui::CalcTextSize)
|
||||
- font: fix AddRemapChar() to work before font has been built.
|
||||
- style: have a more global HSV setter (e.g. alter hue on all elements). consider replacing active/hovered by offset in HSV space? (#438, #707, #1223)
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
- log: let user copy any window content to clipboard easily (CTRL+C on windows? while moving it? context menu?). code is commented because it fails with multiple Begin/End pairs.
|
||||
|
||||
- filters: set a current filter that tree node can automatically query to hide themselves
|
||||
- filters: handle wildcards (with implicit leading/trailing *), regexps
|
||||
- filters: fuzzy matches (may use code at blog.forrestthewoods.com/4cffeed33fdb)
|
||||
- shortcuts: add a shortcut api, e.g. parse "&Save" and/or "Save (CTRL+S)", pass in to widgets or provide simple ways to use (button=activate, input=focus)

||||
!- keyboard: tooltip & combo boxes are messing up / not honoring keyboard tabbing
|
||||

||||

||||
- node/graph editor (#306)
|
||||
- pie menus patterns (#434)
|
||||
- markup: simple markup language for color change?
|
||||
|
||||
!- font: better CalcTextSizeA() API, at least for simple use cases. current one is horrible (perhaps have simple vs extended versions).
|
||||
- font: PushFontSize API (#1018)
|
||||
- font/atlas: incremental updates
|
||||
- font/atlas: dynamic font atlas to avoid baking huge ranges into bitmap and make scaling easier.
|
||||
- font/atlas: allow user to submit its own primitive to be rectpacked, and allow to map them on a Unicode point.
|
||||
- font: MemoryTTF taking ownership confusing/not obvious, maybe default should be opposite?
|
||||
- font/text: vertical and/or rotated text renderer (#705) - vertical is easier clipping wise
|
||||
- font: imgui_freetype.h alternative renderer (#618)
|
||||
- font: optimization: for monospace font (like the default one) we can trim IndexXAdvance as long as trailing value is == FallbackXAdvance (need to make sure TAB is still correct).
|
||||
- font: add support for kerning, probably optional. A) perhaps default to (32..128)^2 matrix ~ 9K entries = 36KB, then hash for non-ascii?. B) or sparse lookup into per-char list?
|
||||
- font: add a simpler CalcTextSizeA() api? current one ok but not welcome if user needs to call it directly (without going through ImGui::CalcTextSize)
|
||||
- font: fix AddRemapChar() to work before font has been built.
|
||||
|
||||
!- keyboard: tooltip & combo boxes are messing up / not honoring keyboard tabbing.
|
||||
- keyboard: full keyboard navigation and focus. (#323)
|
||||
- focus: preserve ActiveId/focus stack state, e.g. when opening a menu and close it, previously selected InputText() focus gets restored (#622)
|
||||
- focus: SetKeyboardFocusHere() on with >= 0 offset could be done on same frame (else latch and modulate on beginning of next frame)
|
||||
- input: rework IO system to be able to pass actual ordered/timestamped events. (~#335, #71)
|
||||
- input: allow to decide and pass explicit double-clicks (e.g. for windows by the CS_DBLCLKS style).
|
||||
- input: support track pad style scrolling & slider edit.
|
||||
|
||||
- misc: provide a way to compile out the entire implementation while providing a dummy API (e.g. #define IMGUI_DUMMY_IMPL)
|
||||
- misc: double-clicking on title bar to minimize isn't consistent, perhaps move to single-click on left-most collapse icon?
|
||||
- misc: provide HoveredTime and ActivatedTime to ease the creation of animations.
|
||||
- style editor: have a more global HSV setter (e.g. alter hue on all elements). consider replacing active/hovered by offset in HSV space? (#438)
|
||||
- style editor: color child window height expressed in multiple of line height.
|
||||
- remote: make a system like RemoteImGui first-class citizen/project (#75)
|
||||
- drawlist: move Font, FontSize, FontTexUvWhitePixel inside ImDrawList and make it self-contained (apart from drawing settings?)
|
||||
- drawlist: end-user probably can't call Clear() directly because we expect a texture to be pushed in the stack.
|
||||
- examples: directx9: save/restore device state more thoroughly.
|
||||
- examples: window minimize, maximize (#583)
|
||||
- examples: provide a zero-framerate/idle example.
|
||||
- optimization: replace vsnprintf with stb_printf? or enable the defines/infrastructure to allow it (#1038)
|
||||
- optimization: add clipping for multi-component widgets (SliderFloatX, ColorEditX, etc.). one problem is that nav branch can't easily clip parent group when there is a move request.
|
||||
- optimization: add a flag to disable most of rendering, for the case where the user expect to skip it (#335)
|
||||
- optimization: use another hash function than crc32, e.g. FNV1a
