[Renderers/GDI] Add native Windows GDI renderer

Open Ch40zz opened this issue 2 days ago • 0 comments

It would be awesome if a very simple native Windows GDI renderer could be added to the project to easily create windows UI applications without any third party dependencies at all! I expect it to not be much work as GDI is pretty easy to use compared to modern DirectX and OpenGL setup.

After doing some research, a very popular layout + rendering framework ImGUI used to have a PR for GDI but it was never merged so as it stands right now, this could be a feature drawing in some people from ImGUI as they don't have an official GDI backend to this day. Yes this is rather niche but theres quite a few people who need non-3D renderers.
