## Description

DearPyGui is a hardware-accelerated Python GUI framework and graphics rendering engine. It operates as an immediate mode user interface system, rendering frames from scratch to ensure high performance and minimal state management for desktop applications.

The project functions as a GPU-accelerated plotting library capable of rendering millions of data points with high frame rates. It also serves as a node editor toolkit for constructing interactive graph-based interfaces to manage visual data flows.

The framework includes capabilities for custom 2D graphics rendering, interface theme customization, and real-time data visualization. Built-in developer tools allow for runtime metrics inspection and the debugging of system resources.
