The number of draw calls and state changes is typically very small. Because it doesn't know or touch graphics state directly, you can call ImGui commands anywhere in your code (e.g. in the middle of a running algorithm, or in the middle of your own rendering process). Refer to the sample applications in the examples/ folder for instructions on how to integrate ImGui with your existing codebase. -_A common misunderstanding is that some people think immediate mode gui == immediate mode rendering, which usually implies hammering your driver/GPU with a bunch of inefficient draw calls and state changes. Some lazy IMGUI-style librairies uses immediate mode rendering. This is NOT what Dear ImGui does, in fact it does quite the contrary. Those concepts are absolutely unrelated._ +_A common misunderstanding is that some people think immediate mode gui == immediate mode rendering, which usually implies hammering your driver/GPU with a bunch of inefficient draw calls and state changes, as the gui functions as called by the user. Some lazy IMGUI-style librairies may work this way but this is NOT what Dear ImGui does. Dear ImGui outputs vertex buffers and a small list of draw calls batchs. It never touches your GPU directly. The draw call batchs are rather optimal and you can render them later, in your app or even remotely._ ImGui allows you create elaborate tools as well as very short-lived ones. On the extreme side of short-liveness: using the Edit&Continue feature of modern compilers you can add a few widgets to tweaks variables while your application is running, and remove the code a minute later! ImGui is not just for tweaking values. You can use it to trace a running algorithm by just emitting text commands. You can use it along with your own reflection data to browse your dataset live. You can use it to expose the internals of a subsystem in your engine, to create a logger, an inspection tool, a profiler, a debugger, etc. @@ -172,12 +172,13 @@ Ongoing ImGui development is financially supported on [**Patreon**](http://www.p Double-chocolate sponsors: - Media Molecule - Mobigame +- Insomniac Games (sponsored the gamepad/keyboard navigation branch) Salty caramel supporters: - Jetha Chan, Wild Sheep Studio, Pastagames, Mārtiņš Možeiko, Daniel Collin, Stefano Cristiano, Chris Genova, ikrima, Glenn Fiedler, Geoffrey Evans, Dakko Dakko.
