Please share your feedback

"ImGui Bundle" is a brand new python and C++ package (Oct 2022). It works on MacOS, Windows and Linux.

Feedback from users would be appreciated in order to make sure its installation works on different platforms.

If you installed it, and if you have time, could you please answer the following:

Python users

• How did you install imgui-bundle for python: via git clone + pip install -v . or via pip install imgui-bundle (i.e install from pypi)
• If you installed from pypi, which platform are you using ? Did the build use the prebuilt wheel, or did it have to build from source?
• Does imgui_bundle_demo work ?
• Do you have code completion for imgui and implot in your IDE (and which IDE are you using)? If not, please read the FAQ

C++ Users

• Did the code compile painlessly, and do the demo work?

Thanks in advance!

[pthom]

Also, I'm looking for small educational examples such as haiku_implot_heart.py which would serve as a demonstration of the library.
Please share your creations if you have small self contained demos which you think might be an help for new users 🙏.

macOS m1, python user, install by pip install imgui-bundle (fails at first, succeed after pip install cmake (even I have cmake installed already).

imgui_bundle_demo works pretty well. Thank you for this nice work.

Feedbacks?

and it deserves a better dock icon:

and a 3d scene example will be great, (https://github.com/stevenlovegrove/Pangolin is hard to install.)
Maybe integrate https://github.com/CedricGuillemet/ImGuizmo?

I'm expecting to use this to try out some functions from https://github.com/libigl/libigl.

Thank you again.

@district10 : thanks for your message!

v0.6.5 is out. It solves the blurry text issue.

Concerning 3D + ImGuizmo, I still need to ponder whether it is easy or not. I will study this in the next weeks.
Concerning the icon, I agree with you. However, bundling icons on a mac is cumbersome compared to windows so I had to postpone this.

v0.7.2 is out and integrates ImGuizmo (as well as lots of additions)!

Basically i like the idea to collect all cool imgui stuff under one package,
but really do not like the mixup between different languages and tool sets.

i would lovelier see a clear and cleaner structure and an easy fast way, something like following, then we get cool stuff:

Further this example does not compile, as RobotoRegularItalic.ttf is missing, but requested

The python way is fast and simple, at c++ way i can just start debugging,
but that was not, what i expected for a short and fast demo run

@GoWeasel : ...Hello and happy new year...

but really do not like the mixup between different languages and tool sets

I did not understand what you mean, although I tried for a few minutes.
What mixup are you referring to ?

• Is it the mixup between python and C++ ? This repo provides C++ and python, because this project provides bindings for python (with a symetric API which makes me quite proud) ?
• Is is because you saw some python scripts that helps generate the pybind11 bindings?
• Is it anything else?

Be precise, please.

a clear and cleaner structure

Well, thanks for the not so kind words with no clear explanation.

ImGuiBundle::ShowFullDemoWindow():

Why not, I might study this idea later. This is a good idea.

The python way is fast and simple

Do you mean that you launched the python demos and they were simple to launch? In that case, thanks.

Further this example does not compile, as RobotoRegularItalic.ttf is missing, but requested

Will be fixed.

at c++ way i can just start debugging, but that was not, what i expected for a short and fast demo run

Does it mean you are asking for ImGuiBundle::ShowFullDemoWindow() or what?

In the meantime you can do :

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
./bin/demo_all

at c++ way i can just start debugging, but that was not, what i expected for a short and fast demo run

just maked an empty testfolder, then git clone (main) repository and open up as a cmake project,
tada cmake error saying hello to me

What i would expect were something like, a demo.cpp which is build able with root cmake config,

In the meantime you can do :

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
./bin/demo_all

not possible with cmake errors

Does it mean you are asking for ImGuiBundle::ShowFullDemoWindow() or what?

just expec to import ImGuiBundle like a lib (cmake compatible) that gives me all what i need (as so far implemented),
and then use it.

lets say for project a i just need a short imgui demo without big extras, i import ImGuiBundle Lib and just call
either ImGuiBundle::ImGui::ShowDemoWindow() or just ImGui::ShowDemoWindow() (which already works)

now lets say for project b i like to see a full demo with all included imgui stuff, so i just call
ImGuiBundle::ShowFullDemoWindow()

now lets say for project c, i like to use different parts (of ImGuiBundle) and perhaps different gui-toolkit (glfw/sdl) and perhaps different graphic api (opengl/vulkan) and perhaps target OS (win/linux/mac/android/ios/web) etc.... (this to handle in a way like KISS-principle would be the biggest challenge)

for the other question u got tomorrow some examples

[pthom]

it seems you forgot a classic step with repositories which have submodules:

cd imgui_bundle
git submodule update --init --recursive

[pthom]

different gui-toolkit (glfw/sdl)

It is already possible to target glfw or sdl, since ImGuiBundle is based on my other library HelloImGui (see its api, and runner_params.h which enables to select the backend between Sdl and glfw.

perhaps target OS (win/linux/mac/android/ios/web) :

ImguiBundle already targets windows, mac, ios and emscripten.
See live emscripten demo

Concerning iOS and android. HelloImGui (on which ImGuiBundle is based) also supports them. I did not make any effort in checking whether its is still the case when added to ImGuiBundle. I do not maintain the android platform anymore, since I do not own an android device, and the android toolset is too clunky for my taste.

oh nice... looks pretty clean style... i'll take it as good night lecture :-)
btw got it so far running.
