|
JNI based binding for [Dear ImGui](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) with no dependencies, ready to use pre-compiled binaries and renderer for [LWJGL3](https://www.lwjgl.org/).
|
|
|
|
Please read **Binding Notice** to get more info about java-specific things of the API.<br>
|
|
See official [documentation](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui#usage) and [wiki](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki) to get more info about how to do things in Dear ImGui.
|
|
|
|
Binding provides all the data you need to render Dear ImGui. If, for some reason, you want to use your own backend renderer, see how things are done in [ImGuiImplGl3](https://github.com/SpaiR/imgui-java/blob/v1.76-0.9/imgui-lwjgl3/src/main/java/imgui/gl3/ImGuiImplGl3.java).
|
|
|
|
Next versioning semantic is used: `imguiVersion-bindingVersion`.<br>
|
|
For example `1.74-0.1` means that imgui-java uses `1.74` version of Dear ImGui and binding itself has the version `0.1`.
|
|
|
|
*Some of the very specific features are still in a wip state.*
|
|
|
|
## How to Try
|
|
_Make sure you have installed Java 8 or higher._
|
|
|
|
You can try Dear ImGui with Java by yourself in a three simple steps:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone --branch v1.76-0.9 https://github.com/SpaiR/imgui-java.git
|
|
cd imgui-java
|
|
gradlew :imgui-lwjgl3:startExample
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's all! You will start an example app [ImGuiGlfwExample](https://github.com/SpaiR/imgui-java/blob/v1.76-0.9/imgui-lwjgl3/src/test/java/ImGuiGlfwExample.java). Feel free to modify [ExampleUi](https://github.com/SpaiR/imgui-java/blob/v1.76-0.9/imgui-lwjgl3/src/test/java/ExampleUi.java) class to try different Dear ImGui widgets in action.

|
## How to Use
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
repositories {
|
|
jcenter()
|
|
mavenCentral()
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
ext {
|
|
lwjglVersion = '3.2.3'
|
|
imguiVersion = '1.76-0.9'
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
switch (org.gradle.internal.os.OperatingSystem.current()) {
|
|
case OperatingSystem.LINUX:
|
|
project.ext.natives = "natives-linux"
|
|
break
|
|
case OperatingSystem.WINDOWS:
|
|
project.ext.natives = System.getProperty("os.arch").contains("64") ? "natives-windows" : "natives-windows-x86"
|
|
break
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
dependencies {
|
|
implementation "io.imgui.java:binding:$imguiVersion"
|
|
implementation "io.imgui.java:lwjgl3:$imguiVersion"
|
|
runtimeOnly "io.imgui.java:$natives:$imguiVersion"
|
|
|
|
implementation platform("org.lwjgl:lwjgl-bom:$lwjglVersion")
|
|
|
|
['', '-opengl', '-glfw'].each {
|
|
implementation "org.lwjgl:lwjgl$it:$lwjglVersion"
|
|
runtimeOnly "org.lwjgl:lwjgl$it::$natives"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can download imgui-java binaries manually from the [release page](https://github.com/SpaiR/imgui-java/releases/latest). You'll need to provide a VM option: `imgui.library.path` or `java.library.path`. It should point to the folder where you've placed downloaded binaries.
|
|
|
|
**You are ready to use imgui-java binding!**
|
|
|
|
## Using FreeType
|
|
Dear ImGui by default uses an stb_strutype library to render a fonts atlas. It's possible to use FreeType instead to get better fonts quality. See an example in [ImGuiGlfwExample](https://github.com/spair/imgui-java/blob/v1.76-0.9/imgui-lwjgl3/src/test/java/ImGuiGlfwExample.java). [Read more](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/v1.76/misc/freetype/README.md)
|
|
|
|
## Binding Notice
|
|
* All Dear ImGui methods are available in `camelCase`, not in `PascalCase`.
|
|
* To **pass** `ImVec2`/`ImVec4` - provide two/four float numbers.
|
|
To **get** `ImVec2`/`ImVec4` - provide a destination object.
|
|
* To get an input/output to/from Dear ImGui - use primitive wrappers: `ImBool`, `ImInt` etc.
|
|
* Due to the Java and JNI restrictions we can't provide a fully fledged callbacks to the `ImGui::InputText` methods.
|
|
To replace some of the features use an ImGuiInputTextData class.
|
|
* Read [javadoc](https://javadoc.io/doc/io.imgui.java/binding) and sources comments to get more info.

## How to Build
|
|
To build native libraries you should install `mingw-w64` and `ant`. Modify [GenerateLibs](https://github.com/SpaiR/imgui-java/blob/master/buildSrc/src/main/groovy/imgui/generate/GenerateLibs.groovy)
|
|
to build specific binaries you need. After everything is configured, run `gradlew :imgui-binding:generateLibs`.
|
|
That will build native libraries and place them in `imgui-binding/build/libsNative` folder.
|
|
