raylib cimgui

A pure C raylib backend for the immediate mode gui Dear ImGui, on top of cimgui.

This Dear ImGui backend is heavily adapted from the excellent C++ raylib's Dear ImGui backend raylib-extras/rlImGui.

Building

• cimgui can be linked both dynamically or statically to your raylib project.

  • Statically linking to cimgui requires linking -lstdc++.

• Clone or install raylib somewhere.

• Clone cimgui somewhere:

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/cimgui/cimgui.git
    git submodule update --init --recursive

• Include and link cimgui.
• Build rlcimgui.c alongside your project.

Building in a raylib project

Check the included example Makefile in the examples folder.

CIMGUI_PATH = /path/to/cimgui
#...
INCLUDE_PATHS += -I$(CIMGUI_PATH)
#...
LDFLAGS +=  -L$(CIMGUI_PATH)
#...
LDLIBS += -lcimgui -lstdc++

# Build rlcimgui.c alongside the project
PROJECT_SOURCE_FILES ?= \
    ../rlcimgui.c \
    raylib_cimgui_demo.c

#...

# Build cimgui and Dear ImGui
$(CIMGUI_PATH)/libcimgui.a:
	$(MAKE) -C $(CIMGUI_PATH) CXXFLAGS="-O1 -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -std=c++11 -DIMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_KEYIO=1" static

Acknowledgments to Lucrecious for some of the Makefile tips. Check his "Makefile.alternative" in the examples folder (requires adjustment, since Lucrecious' file is aimed at using rlImGui).

Usage

See the included examples in the "examples" folder.

Example

To build and run the example, edit the paths in Makefile (CIMGUI_PATH and RAYLIB_PATH), then:

cd examples
make
./raylib_cimgui_demo.exe

Font Awesome Icons

Inspired by rlImGui, support for Font Awesome 6 https://fontawesome.com/ is also built into raylib cimgui and enabled by default. You can simply #include "extras/IconsFontAwesome6.h" to use the ICON_FA macros for any icon in the free set.

The example raylib_cimgui_demo.c already includes usage for Font Awesome.

If you wish to disable font awesome support you can #define NO_FONT_AWESOME.
