3/ ImGui::Render() to render all the accumulated command-lists. it will call your RenderDrawListFn handler that you set in the IO structure.
|
||||
- all rendering information are stored into command-lists until ImGui::Render() is called.
|
||||
- effectively it means you can create widgets at any time in your code, regardless of "update" vs "render" considerations.
|
||||
- refer to the examples applications in the examples/ folder for instruction on how to setup your code.
|
||||
- a typical application skeleton may be:
|
||||
|
||||
// Application init
|
||||
// TODO: Fill all 'Settings' fields of the io structure
|
||||
// TODO: Fill all settings fields of the io structure

io.DisplaySize.y = 1280.0f;

TROUBLESHOOTING & FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
- if text or lines are blurry when integrating ImGui in your engine:
|
||||
- in your Render function, try translating your projection matrix by (0.5f,0.5f) or (0.375f,0.375f)
|
||||
- try adjusting ImGui::GetIO().PixelCenterOffset to 0.5f or 0.375f
|
||||
|
||||
- some widgets carry state and requires an unique ID to do so.
|
||||
- unique ID are typically derived from a string label, an indice or a pointer.
|
||||
- use PushID/PopID to easily create scopes and avoid ID conflicts. A Window is also an implicit scope.
|
||||
- when creating trees, ID are particularly important because you want to preserve the opened/closed state of tree nodes.
|
||||
- if you can only see text but no solid shapes or lines:
|
||||
- make sure io.FontTexUvForWhite is set to the texture coordinates of a pure white pixel in your texture.
|
||||
(this is done for you if you are using the default font)
|
||||
(ImGui is using this texture coordinate to draw solid objects so text and solid draw calls can be merged into one.)
|
||||
|
||||
- if you want to use a different font than the default:
|
||||
- create bitmap font data using BMFont, make sure that BMFont is exporting the .fnt file in Binary mode.
|
||||
io.Font = new ImBitmapFont();
|
||||
io.Font->LoadFromFile("path_to_your_fnt_file.fnt");
|
||||
- load your texture yourself. texture *MUST* have white pixel at UV coordinate io.FontTexUvForWhite. This is used to draw all solid shapes.
|
||||
- the extra_fonts/ folder provides examples of using external fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
- if you are confused about the meaning or use of ID in ImGui:
|
||||
- some widgets requires state to be carried over multiple frames (most typically ImGui often wants remember what is the "active" widget).
|
||||
to do so they need an unique ID. unique ID are typically derived from a string label, an indice or a pointer.
|
||||
when you call Button("OK") the button shows "OK" and also use "OK" as an ID.
|
||||
- ID are uniquely scoped within Windows so no conflict can happen if you have two buttons called "OK" in two different Windows.
|
||||
within a same Window, use PushID() / PopID() to easily create scopes and avoid ID conflicts.
|
||||
so if you have a loop creating "multiple" items, you can use PushID() / PopID() with the index of each item, or their pointer, etc.
|
||||
some functions like TreeNode() implicitly creates a scope for you by calling PushID()
|
||||
- when dealing with trees, ID are important because you want to preserve the opened/closed state of tree nodes.
|
||||
depending on your use cases you may want to use strings, indices or pointers as ID. experiment and see what makes more sense!
|
||||
e.g. When displaying a single object, using a static string as ID will preserve your node open/closed state when the targetted object change
|
||||
e.g. When displaying a list of objects, using indices or pointers as ID will preserve the node open/closed state per object

e.g. "Label" display "Label" and uses "Label" as ID
|
||||
e.g. "Label##Foobar" display "Label" and uses "Label##Foobar" as ID
|

e.g. "##Foobar" display an empty label and uses "##Foobar" as ID

|

- if you want to use a different font than the default
|
||||
- create bitmap font data using BMFont. allocate ImGui::GetIO().Font and use ->LoadFromFile()/LoadFromMemory().
|
||||
- load your texture yourself. texture *MUST* have white pixel at UV coordinate ImGui::GetIO().FontTexUvForWhite. This is used to draw all solid shapes.
|
||||
- read articles about the imgui principles (see web links) to understand the requirement and use of ID.
|
||||
|
||||
- tip: the construct 'if (IMGUI_ONCE_UPON_A_FRAME)' will evaluate to true only once a frame, you can use it to add custom UI in the middle of a deep nested inner loop in your code.
|
||||
- tip: you can call Render() multiple times (e.g for VR renders), up to you to communicate the extra state to your RenderDrawListFn function.
|
||||
- tip: you can create widgets without a Begin/End block, they will go in an implicit window called "Debug"
|
||||
- tip: you can create widgets without a Begin()/End() block, they will go in an implicit window called "Debug"
|
||||
- tip: read the ShowTestWindow() code for more example of how to use ImGui!
