ImFrame Alternatives

ImFrame reviews and mentions

• Using Dear ImGui for gui apps that do not need to he overlayed
  1 project | /r/cpp | 9 Sep 2022

  If you need a quick way to start a C++ ImGui app, you can use my ImFrame library. It's essentially a C++ application wrapper around glfw + ImGUI, along with a few handy additions that applications might need, like native file and folder dialogs, automatic windows settings / persistence, etc.

• What is the best GUI library in C++ for real time data plotting
  2 projects | /r/cpp | 6 Jun 2022

  If you want a demo, you can use my starter framework to see if it would work for you, or check out Implot's repository directly.

• Is WinUI the most modern GUI library for C++ desktop applications on Windows?
  7 projects | /r/cpp | 6 Dec 2021

  If you want a Dear Imgui "starter kit", you can try ImFrame. It packages a few libraries into a very lightweight cross-platform application framework.

• What to use to develop GUIs in C++?
  4 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 18 Nov 2021

  If you just want an empty app in which you can play with ImGui, you can use a lightweight framework like ImFrame.

• What would you say is a good GUI library for a beginner (someone who's never dabbled in GUI programming before, but has several years of experience with C++)?
  6 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 22 Oct 2021

  To help with this, I made a framework that makes it much easier to use like a more traditional application framework, providing a few handy features you'd expect, like native file dialogs, window position save/restore, native macOS windows, platform-appropriate settings storage, image loading, a selection of fonts, etc.

• Trying to use ImPlot to plot some graphs, failing hard.
  2 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 28 Sep 2021

  Probably the fastest way to do that is to use something like my ImFrame library, which is designed to get Dear ImGui and ImPlot up and running inside an app with minimal fuss and bother. You'll need to use CMake to build the project, but it's pretty simple, as there are batch files to build in the /Bin folder for Windows, Mac, or Linux.

• Best GUI Library for C++?
  2 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 21 Aug 2021

  Dear ImGUI - Unlike the others, is designed for applications with a real-time rendering loop, such as games. Was originally designed for creating debugging UIs, although has expanded far beyond this, and is now used for full-featured applications. Requires an existing back-end to plug into. If you need an application framework for Dear ImGUI, you can use my own project ImFrame, or something similar.

• What IDE/build system for Open GL projects are you using?
  1 project | /r/cpp_questions | 30 Apr 2021

  I use CMake as my (meta) build system, and generate VS projects on Windows, Xcode projects on Mac, and Code::Blocks projects/makefiles on Linux. Example of one such project of mine: https://github.com/JamesBoer/ImFrame

• The best option for desktop GUI?
  3 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 17 Apr 2021

  I'm currently writing a Dear Imgui framework called ImFrame. It handles the work of creating an application loop with an appropriate renderer, using GLFW and other open source libraries, and then exposing the Dear Imgui API for your use to do what you want with it.

• [QUESTION] Cmake executable needs a config file, but different IDEs place the executable in different locations.
  1 project | /r/cmake | 15 Mar 2021

  For example, in one of my libraries (you can see the whole thing here), I'm including the single-header library stb_image.h as a separate project, so it shows up with all the other external libraries. It's not necessary for compilation, but is just there to assist with browsing / seeing all the external libraries.
