ofxImGuiAddonWidgets

Reuseable ofxImGui widgets for ofxAddons.

Description

This repo is a try to centralise various ofxImGui widgets for openframeworks addons.

Why ?

ImGui is an awesome OpenFrameworks GUI but it can be cumbersome to implement and fine-tune a whole GUI for your ofApps. This project aims to minimise the collective writing time of ImGui widgets for OpenFrameworks addons.

Setup

• Download this addon like any other ofxAddon.
• Download ofxImGui/develop.
• Configure the widgets that you need in each of your projects. (See the list below)

_The addon widgets are available on an opt-in basis to prevent having to download all supported ofxAddons._

• Use the widgets. They are within the ImGuiEx namespace.

Supported ofxAddons

You'll find the corresponding opt-in define next to the name.

• [x] ofxNDI : ofxImGuiAddonWidgets_NDI

ofxAddon + ofxImGui integration philosophy

The ideal way to integrate ofxImGui support for an ofxAddon is directly within the addon itself by following the ofxImGui addon developer instructions. ofxImGui users can then simply enable the GUI layer by compiling with ofxAddons_ENABLE_IMGUI defined.

But not everybody uses ImGui and some addon maintainers may not wish this additional maintenance load. When integrating the widget code within the addon itself is not possible, there's 2 options :

• Create your own ofxImGuiSomeAddonWidgets repo.
• Submit a PR to have it included in here.

Contributions

I am not aiming to provide widgets for all addons, neither willing to maintain them all in this repo. But I'm happy to share those that I made for my personal use.

It's simply a centralised repo to bundle ofxImGui widgets for various ofxAddons. If you submit a PR for supporting a new addon, please put your code into a separate file with a new opt-in define. (I'll ask you to maintain that part, or it will stay unmaintained). Of course, always feel free to submit PRs for improvements and fixes.
