cimgui-go VS imgui

I cloned the repo and I tried a couple of things like make and go run . since I didn't quite undertand the README. I would like to play with this library and build something with Go. I'm on Windows 22H2 and my Go version is 1.20.2. Thanks you all! Here is the repo.

In particular, in https://github.com/AllenDang/cimgui-go/blob/main/cimplot_structs_accessor.cpp I see wrap_ImPlotAxis_SetShowDefaultTicks, so I suspect that A: there is some function that you can call that will return a PlotAxis from the current Plot, or a collection of same, and B: that having a PlotAxis, there will be a collection of methods you can call on it that serve the same function as the named parameters in the Python code you gave as an example.

Immediate mode is a fuzzy concept, as witnessed by this writeup: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/About-the-IMGUI-paradi...

It's fun to see the evolution in e.g. these examples of image loading for Dear Imgui:

https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Image-Loading-and-Disp...

DirectX9 will even load the image for you, DirectX11 okay we get a few more structures to fill out, DirectX12 is where it goes off the rails and we are filling out a bunch of UNKNOWN DONT_CARE JUST_DO_IT. Then of course Vulkan is the one that gets the big fat "this probably won't actually work for you" warning.

I understand whats happening, but you know sometimes I just want to display a fucking image.

ImGui is engine/GPU agnostic

Themeing isn't a just a retained mode thing, you can do wonders with immediate UIs, even thought (dear)ImGui doesn't provide much, you can still do wonders: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/707#issuecomment-362...

Bonus: If you want to make desktop app with UI, then this is another great C++ library and it's also simple to learn as well. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui.

AFAIK the Rust equivalent to C++'s Dear ImGui is egui.

They use a Dear ImGui, a C++ GUI library.

Aside from bugs and driver issues, Wayland has some unfortunate design limitations. For example, Dear ImGui multi-viewports don't work because "Wayland doesn't let application read or write windows positions."

This is a feature available on Windows, macOS, and of course X11. Making choices like this means desktop Linux becomes even more of a weird island that nobody wants to support.
