imgui-rs: Rust bindings for Dear ImGui 1.80 for arcdps addons

Wrapped Dear ImGui Version

This is a fork

Addons for arcdps are restricted to an older version of Dear ImGui. This is a fork of imgui-rs 0.8.0 that is compatible with Dear ImGui 1.80 intended for use by arcdps addons.

Changes

  • Allows Ui object creation from context for the arcdps rust wrapper
  • Downgrade to Dear ImGui 1.80 (current version used by arcdps)
    • APIs that require newer versions of ImGui are removed (mainly the disable API)
  • Cherry-picked some important fixes from imgui-rs >0.8.0, mostly related to the input_text widget not resizing the buffer correctly and segfaulting.
  • Text input callback API (character filters) was changed to support 16bit chars, as the arcdps ImGui version does not enable 32bit character support.

Original README

Hello world

Window::new("Hello world")
    .size([300.0, 100.0], Condition::FirstUseEver)
    .build(&ui, || {
        ui.text("Hello world!");
        ui.text("こんにちは世界!");
        ui.text("This...is...imgui-rs!");
        ui.separator();
        let mouse_pos = ui.io().mouse_pos;
        ui.text(format!(
            "Mouse Position: ({:.1},{:.1})",
            mouse_pos[0], mouse_pos[1]
        ));
    });

Main library crates

  • imgui: High-level safe API
  • imgui-winit-support: Backend platform implementation that uses the winit crate (latest by default, but earlier versions are supported via feature flags)
  • imgui-glow-renderer: Renderer implementation that uses the imgui crate
  • imgui-glium-renderer: Renderer implementation that uses the glium crate
  • imgui-sys: Low-level unsafe API (automatically generated)

Additionally, the following are no longer maintained, but might work still:

  • imgui-gfx-renderer: Renderer implementation that uses the gfx crate (not the new gfx-hal crate)

Features

  • Bindings for Dear ImGui that can be used with safe Rust. Note: API coverage is not 100%, but will keep improving over time.
  • Builder structs for use cases where the original C++ library uses optional function parameters
  • Easy integration with glow/ glium
  • Easy integration with winit (backend platform)
  • Optional support for the freetype font rasterizer

Minimum Support Rust Version (MSRV)

The MSRV for imgui-rs and all of the backend crates is 1.54. We update our MSRV periodically, and issue a minor bump for it.

Choosing a backend platform and a renderer

Almost every application that uses imgui-rs needs two additional components in addition to the main imgui crate: a backend platform, and a renderer.

The backend platform is responsible for integrating imgui-rs with the operating system and its window management. Its responsibilities include the following:

  • Handling input events (e.g. keyboard, mouse) and updating imgui-rs state accordingly
  • Passing information about the OS window (e.g. size, DPI factor) to imgui-rs
  • Updating the OS-side mouse cursor when imgui-rs requests it

The renderer is responsible for taking generic, renderer-agnostic draw lists generated by imgui-rs, and rendering them using some graphics API. Its responsibilities include the following:

  • Rendering using vertex/index buffers and command lists
  • Handling of DPI factors and scissor rects
  • Texture management

The most tested platform/renderer combination is imgui-glium-renderer + glium + imgui-winit-support + winit, but this is not the only possible combination. There's also imgui-glow-renderer, which will increasingly replace glium, and you can find additional 3rd party crates that provide a wider support for more libraries (e.g. raw OpenGL, SDL2). You can also write your own support code if you have a more advanced use case, because imgui-rs is not tied to any specific graphics / OS API.

Compiling and running the demos

git clone https://github.com/imgui-rs/imgui-rs
cd imgui-rs
git submodule update --init --recursive

Main examples are located in the imgui-examples directory.

# At the reposity root
cd imgui-examples
cargo test

cargo run --example hello_world
cargo run --example test_window
cargo run --example test_window_impl

Examples for the gfx backend are under the imgui-gfx-examples directory.

cd imgui-gfx-examples
cargo test

cargo run --example gfx_hello_world
cargo run --example gfx_test_window

Note to Windows users: You will need to use the MSVC ABI version of the Rust compiler along with its associated dependencies to build this libary and run the examples.
