imgui-docking-rs: Rust bindings for Dear ImGui

This is a fork of the https://github.com/Gekkio/imgui-rs repo, adding support for docking from this repo https://github.com/rasky/imgui-rs/tree/docking, with some updates. This repo also has a basic safe api for the dearimgui DockBuilder.

This repo stays in lock step with the master branch of Gekkio/imgui-rs, but with changes that comes from the docking branch in dearimgui.

To use docking:

  • enable it in the config.
let mut imgui = imgui::Context::create();
// ...
imgui.io_mut().config_flags |= imgui::ConfigFlags::DOCKING_ENABLE;
  • then if you want to use the Dock builder.
imgui::Window::new(im_str!("Viewport")).build(&ui, || {});
imgui::Window::new(im_str!("NodeGraph")).build(&ui, || {});
imgui::Window::new(im_str!("Properties")).build(&ui, || {});
imgui::Window::new(im_str!("Outliner")).build(&ui, || {});

imgui::Dock::new().build(|root| {
    root.size([500_f32, 500_f32]).position([0_f32, 0_f32]).split(
        imgui::Direction::Left,
        0.7_f32,
        |left| {
            left.dock_window(im_str!("Viewport"));
            left.dock_window(im_str!("NodeGraph"));
        },
        |right| {
            right.dock_window(im_str!("Properties"));
            right.dock_window(im_str!("Outliner"));
        },
    )
});

Still fairly experimental!

Minimum Rust version: 1.40

Build Status Latest release on crates.io Documentation on docs.rs

Hello world

Window::new(im_str!("Hello world"))
    .size([300.0, 100.0], Condition::FirstUseEver)
    .build(&ui, || {
        ui.text(im_str!("Hello world!"));
        ui.text(im_str!("こんにちは世界!"));
        ui.text(im_str!("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-glium-renderer: Renderer implementation that uses the glium crate
  • imgui-gfx-renderer: Renderer implementation that uses the gfx crate (not the new gfx-hal crate)
  • imgui-winit-support: Backend platform implementation that uses the winit crate (0.22 by default, but 0.19-0.21 are supported via feature flags)
  • imgui-sys: Low-level unsafe API (automatically generated)

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
  • &ImStr / ImString types and im_str! macro for defining and passing null-terminated UTF-8 to Dear ImGui, which doesn't accept Rust &str / String values. See issue #7 for more information and justification for this design.
  • Easy integration with Glium / pre-ll gfx (renderer)
  • Easy integration with winit (backend platform)

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-gfx-renderer, 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/Gekkio/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 hello_world
cargo run --example 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.
