dat.gui VS imgui

I created a GUI library, it's very useful for the visual editor and it can be very easy to generate config panel for options. If you don't know about GUI library, maybe you can checkout some other famous open source project ( dat.gui, tweakpane, leva).

I have looked into the text box issue. I am using a listener on the sliders that update them when switching to a different orbitals. This listener deactivate the ability to change the number in the text box directly. It seems to have been notified already but was never fixed: https://github.com/dataarts/dat.gui/issues/206

In the javascript world, I'd use console logging or dat.gui to solve this problem, but I don't know where to start looking in swift/swiftui or xcode.

I am trying to install a bundled version of dat.gui so I can use it client side: https://github.com/dataarts/dat.gui

Fun and simple, nice. I'd love to see the raw values presented using something like dat.gui, as well as basic play/pause/step controls.

Before we ditch the use of dat.gui in our demo, let’s have a play with the size of our package. We want to check that our package remains centered while folding and flipping. In this demo, the package has a larger --height and the .scene has a dashed border.

I was wondering if you could check if a dat.gui interface is being interacted with. I have a hold and drag behaviour in my code that let's me rotate the camera. But there is a situation where I try to change a value in my interface by holding and dragging a sidebar and the camera rotates too.

Viewing the source for both pages shows a completely different build structure. toolband.com also has the developer name at the top of the file where as tool.army has none of that. The javascript files used are easily found using Google.

Gui: dat.gui (temporary until I make a proper one)

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."

https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Multi-Viewports

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.
