Dear ImGui is highly portable and only requires a few things to run and render.
- Providing mouse/keyboard inputs
- Load the font atlas texture into graphics memory
- Providing a render function to render indexed textured triangles
- Optional: clipboard support, mouse cursor supports, Windows IME support, etc.
So this is essentially what those examples are doing + the obligatory cruft for portability.

Unfortunately in 2018 it is still tedious to create and maintain portable build files using external
libraries (the kind we're using here to create a window and render 3D triangles) without relying on
third party software. For most examples here I choose to provide:

You can probably just import the imgui_impl_xxx.cpp/.h files into your own codebase or compile those
directly with a command-line compiler.
ImGui has zero frame of lag for most behaviors and one frame of lag for some behaviors.
At 60 FPS your experience should be pleasant. Consider that OS mouse cursors are typically drawn through
a specific hardware accelerated route and may feel smoother than other GPU rendered contents. You may
experiment with the io.MouseDrawCursor flag to request ImGui to draw a mouse cursor itself, to visualize
the lag between a hardware cursor and a software cursor. It might be beneficial to the user experience
to switch to a software rendered cursor when an interactive drag is in progress.
Also note that some setup or GPU drivers may be causing extra lag (possibly by enforcing triple buffering),
leaving you with no option but sadness/anger (Intel GPU drivers were reported as such).
