LuaJIT-ImGui

This is a LuaJIT binding for the excellent C++ intermediate gui imgui. Uses cimgui to be the most "up to date" as possible.

Notes:

• currently this wrapper is based on version [1.88 docking of imgui]

cloning

Remember to do a recursive cloning of the repo to pull submodules also.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/sonoro1234/LuaJIT-ImGui.git

If already cloned and updating do from this repo folder:

git submodule update --init --recursive

compiling

• linux cimgui_sdl (for love2d for example) needs: sudo apt install libsdl2-dev
• run one of the scripts in the build directory from a sibling folder to the repo. If you want to install, (recomended) add this -DLUAJIT_BIN="folder where LuaJIT is" to the cmake command.
• make (or make install).
• If you didnt install in LuaJIT directory, set basedir variable in imgui.lua to the directory libimgui is found.
• Alternatively you can build https://github.com/sonoro1234/anima which includes LuaJIT-ImGui and dependencies.

trying

• Remember you also need GLFW https://github.com/sonoro1234/LuaJIT-GLFW or SDL2 https://github.com/sonoro1234/LuaJIT-SDL2 .
• You have some scripts on the examples folder.
• New module imgui.window for simplified use. (see window_drag_drop.lua)
• In case you are in a hurry, you can get all done in the releases (GLFW version only).
• Releases are now done in https://github.com/sonoro1234/anima

binding generation

• if cimgui is updated the binding can be remade with ./lua/build.bat

used in

• https://github.com/sonoro1234/anima
