### The Pitch

**No specific build process is required**. You can add the .cpp files into your existing project.
You will need a backend to integrate Dear ImGui into your app. The backend passes mouse/keyboard/gamepad inputs and a variety of settings to Dear ImGui and is in charge of rendering the resulting vertices. **Backends for a variety of graphics API and rendering platforms** are provided in the [backends/](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/master/backends) folder, along with example applications in the [examples/](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/master/examples) folder. See the [Integration](#integration) section of this document for details. You may also create your own backend. Anywhere where you can render textured triangles, you can render Dear ImGui.

ImGui::Text("Hello, world %d", 123);

Reading the changelogs is a good way to keep up to date with the things Dear ImGui has to offer, and maybe will give you ideas of some features that you've been ignoring until now!
### Demo
Calling the `ImGui::ShowDemoWindow()` function will create a demo window showcasing a variety of features and examples. The code is always available for reference in `imgui_demo.cpp`.

Calling the `ImGui::ShowDemoWindow()` function will create a demo window showcasing a variety of features and examples. The code is always available for reference in `imgui_demo.cpp`. [Here's how te demo look](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/ocornut/imgui/web/v167/v167-misc.png).
You should be able to build the examples from sources (tested on Windows/Mac/Linux). If you don't, let us know! If you want to have a quick look at some Dear ImGui features, you can download Windows binaries of the demo app here:
- [imgui-demo-binaries-20220504.zip](https://www.dearimgui.org/binaries/imgui-demo-binaries-20220504.zip) (Windows, 1.88 WIP, built 2022/05/04, master branch) or [older demo binaries](https://www.dearimgui.org/binaries).

The demo applications are not DPI aware so expect some blurriness on a 4K screen. For DPI awareness in your application, you can load/reload your font at a different scale and scale your style with `style.ScaleAllSizes()` (see [FAQ](https://www.dearimgui.org/faq)).

On most platforms and when using C++, **you should be able to use a combination of the [imgui_impl_xxxx](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/master/backends) backends without modification** (e.g. `imgui_impl_win32.cpp` + `imgui_impl_dx11.cpp`). If your engine supports multiple platforms, consider using more imgui_impl_xxxx files instead of rewriting them: this will be less work for you, and you can get Dear ImGui running immediately. You can _later_ decide to rewrite a custom backend using your custom engine functions if you wish so.
Integrating Dear ImGui within your custom engine is a matter of 1) wiring mouse/keyboard/gamepad inputs 2) uploading one texture to your GPU/render engine 3) providing a render function that can bind textures and render textured triangles. The [examples/](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/master/examples) folder is populated with applications doing just that. If you are an experienced programmer at ease with those concepts, it should take you less than two hours to integrate Dear ImGui into your custom engine. **Make sure to spend time reading the [FAQ](https://www.dearimgui.org/faq), comments, and some of the examples/applications!**

### Upcoming Changes
Some of the goals for 2022 are:
- Work on Docking (see [#2109](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/2109), in public [docking](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/docking) branch)
- Work on Multi-Viewport / Multiple OS windows. (see [#1542](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/1542), in public [docking](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/docking) branch looking for feedback)
- Work on gamepad/keyboard controls. (see [#787](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/787))
- Work on automation and testing system, both to test the library and end-user apps. (see [#435](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/435))
- Make the examples look better, improve styles, improve font support, and make the examples hi-DPI and multi-DPI aware.

**Which version should I get?**
We occasionally tag [Releases](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/releases) (with nice releases notes) but it is generally safe and recommended to sync to master/latest. The library is fairly stable and regressions tend to be fixed fast when reported.
Advanced users may want to use the `docking` branch with [Multi-Viewport](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/1542) and [Docking](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/2109) features. This branch is kept in sync with master regularly.

Omar: "I first discovered the IMGUI paradigm at [Q-Games](https://www.q-games.com) where Atman Binstock had dropped his own simple implementation in the codebase, which I spent quite some time improving and thinking about. It turned out that Atman was exposed to the concept directly by working with Casey. When I moved to Media Molecule I rewrote a new library trying to overcome the flaws and limitations of the first one I've worked with. It became this library and since then I have spent an unreasonable amount of time iterating and improving it."
