The copy in dear imgui sources has a few tweaks to make it possible to use with UTF-8 without unnecessary lookups: see `STB_TEXTEDIT_GETPREVCHARINDEX`,`STB_TEXTEDIT_GETNEXTCHARINDE…

It baffles me that any maintainer would merge code like the one highlighted in the issue, without knowing what it does. That’s regardless of being or not being able to see the “inv…

Specifically for panning and zooming, doesn't the OS translate those inputs to mouse events, like Windows does by default? Otherwise it is simply a matter of performing this transl…

I promise it’s coming eventually but I don’t believe the custom version is hard to make to work either.

You can manually transform vertices (call ImGui::ShadeVertsTransformPos) this is what angled headers are using https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/6917 I agree it's not first-c…

It's my github post and I wanted to post it on HN but being new to this I was surprised that submitting my link merged it to an existing post.

Dang you posted faster than I did :) Thanks!

I am not saying it is a silver bullet. I'm saying it is making some development - those that are well aligned with the frameworks qualities - particularly efficient. Efficiency and…

The person who coined the IMGUI term (Casey Muratori) literally defined "immediate mode gui" as a concept relating to the API/facade, regardless of what the UI system internally ow…

Dear ImGui is lacking good and focused code contributors, I'm stretching myself quite thin already and unfortunately pragmatically it currently wouldn't be wise for me to attempt w…

Good Testing/Automation is never free lunch AFAIK but Dear ImGui has a testing/automation system: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui_test_engine

Also see the interactive web manual https://pthom.github.io/imgui_manual_online/manual/imgui_man...

There’s no caching. Most people advocating or theorizing about caching haven’t measured the performances of dear imgui or implot. Computers are incredibly powerful when you don’t w…

Also try mouse-wheeling in Tracy web version (using Dear ImGui) and opening different panels: https://tracy.nereid.pl/ I think you'll find it to be more reactive and snappier than …

Interestingly there are no modification of the core Dear ImGui library involved. It's using a software renderer, which have been available already e.g. that one had been optimized …

I picked your write-up on that unstructured attempt of making a page of definitions: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/About-the-IMGUI-paradi... Thanks!

Hi gregg :) I think it's a bit of both. From the point of view of game programmers and custom engine users/creators, it's important to know that Dear ImGui will be easy to integrat…

Where do you draw the line? Some companies are using it for polished large tooling which may have thousands of end-users. Those users will eventually want a solution to tackle that…

The vast irony of all this is that today interacting/scrolling in Facebook or Twitter is vastly less efficient that a basic graphic app rendering at 60 FPS. Facebook has become _AC…
