Imgui
Este proyecto es una biblioteca de interfaz gráfica de usuario de modo inmediato diseñada para el desarrollo rápido de herramientas e interfaces de depuración. Al generar la geometría de la interfaz de usuario en cada fotograma a través de código procedimental, elimina la necesidad de sincronización de estado persistente entre los datos de la aplicación y la interfaz. Está destinado principalmente a la integración en tuberías de renderizado existentes, donde produce búferes de vértices sin procesar y comandos de dibujo que son agnósticos a la API de gráficos subyacente.
La biblioteca se distingue por una arquitectura altamente desacoplada que admite diseños complejos, acoplables y de múltiples vistas. Gestiona posiciones de ventanas, arrastre de pestañas y división de nodos, lo que permite a los desarrolladores separar los elementos de la interfaz en ventanas independientes del sistema operativo. Para garantizar una interacción consistente en diversos entornos, asigna eventos de entrada nativos a un formato unificado y proporciona un alcance robusto basado en identificadores para rastrear los estados de los elementos a través de los fotogramas.
El marco ofrece una amplia superficie de capacidad para construir herramientas de motor sofisticadas y utilidades de diagnóstico. Incluye soporte para componentes visuales avanzados como editores de nodos, trazadores 2D y 3D, e inspectores especializados, junto con infraestructura para escalado DPI y renderizado de formas personalizadas. El sistema está diseñado para una alta portabilidad, con opciones de configuración en tiempo de compilación que permiten a los desarrolladores adaptar las estructuras de datos principales y los tipos matemáticos a los requisitos específicos del motor.
El repositorio proporciona amplios ejemplos para conectar la biblioteca a los principales backends y marcos de gráficos, junto con herramientas para generar enlaces específicos de lenguaje.
