# zgui v0.5.0 - dear imgui bindings
Easy to use, hand-crafted API with default arguments, named parameters and Zig style text formatting. [Here](https://github.com/michal-z/zig-gamedev/tree/main/samples/minimal_zgpu_zgui) is a simple sample application, and [here](https://github.com/michal-z/zig-gamedev/tree/main/samples/gui_test_wgpu) is a full one.
## Features

## Getting started
Copy `zgui` to a subdirectory in your project and add the following to your `build.zig.zon` .dependencies:
```zig
.zgui = .{ .path = "libs/zgui" },
```
To get glfw/wgpu rendering backend working also copy `zglfw`, `system-sdk`, `zgpu` and `zpool` folders and add the depenency paths (see [zgpu](https://github.com/zig-gamedev/zig-gamedev/tree/main/libs/zgpu) for the details).
Then in your `build.zig` add:
```zig
pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
const exe = b.addExecutable(.{ ... });
const zgui = b.dependency("zgui", .{
.shared = false,
.with_implot = true,
});
exe.root_module.addImport("zgui", zgui.module("root"));
exe.linkLibrary(zgui.artifact("imgui"));
{ // Needed for glfw/wgpu rendering backend
const zglfw = b.dependency("zglfw", .{});
exe.root_module.addImport("zglfw", zglfw.module("root"));
exe.linkLibrary(zglfw.artifact("glfw"));
const zpool = b.dependency("zpool", .{});
exe.root_module.addImport("zpool", zpool.module("root"));
const zgpu = b.dependency("zgpu", .{});
exe.root_module.addImport("zgpu", zgpu.module("root"));
exe.linkLibrary(zgpu.artifact("zdawn"));
}
}
```
Now in your code you may import and use `zgui`:
```zig
const zgui = @import("zgui");
zgui.init(allocator);
_ = zgui.io.addFontFromFile(content_dir ++ "Roboto-Medium.ttf", 16.0);
zgui.backend.init(
window,
demo.gctx.device,
@enumToInt(swapchain_format),
@enumToInt(depth_format),
);
```
```zig
// Main loop
while (...) {
zgui.backend.newFrame(framebuffer_width, framebuffer_height);
zgui.bulletText(
"Average : {d:.3} ms/frame ({d:.1} fps)",
.{ demo.gctx.stats.average_cpu_time, demo.gctx.stats.fps },
);
zgui.bulletText("W, A, S, D : move camera", .{});
zgui.spacing();
if (zgui.button("Setup Scene", .{})) {
// Button pressed.
}
if (zgui.dragFloat("Drag 1", .{ .v = &value0 })) {
// value0 has changed
}
if (zgui.dragFloat("Drag 2", .{ .v = &value0, .min = -1.0, .max = 1.0 })) {
// value1 has changed
}
// Setup wgpu render pass here
zgui.backend.draw(pass);
}
```
### Building a shared library
If your project spans multiple zig modules that both use ImGui, such as an exe paired with a dll, you may want to build the `zgui` dependencies (`zgui_pkg.zgui_c_cpp`) as a shared library. This can be enabled with the `shared` build option. Then, in `build.zig`, use `zgui_pkg.link` to link `zgui` to all the modules that use ImGui.
When built this way, the ImGui context will be located in the shared library. However, the `zgui` zig code (which is compiled separately into each module) requires its own memory buffer which has to be initialized separately with `initNoContext`.
In your executable:
```zig
const zgui = @import("zgui");
zgui.init(allocator);
defer zgui.deinit();
```
In your shared library:
```zig
const zgui = @import("zgui");
zgui.initNoContext(allocator);
defer zgui.deinitNoContxt();
```
### DrawList API
```zig
draw_list.addQuad(.{
.p1 = .{ 170, 420 },
.p2 = .{ 270, 420 },
.p3 = .{ 220, 520 },
.p4 = .{ 120, 520 },
.col = 0xff_00_00_ff,
.thickness = 3.0,
});
draw_list.addText(.{ 130, 130 }, 0xff_00_00_ff, "The number is: {}", .{7});
draw_list.addCircleFilled(.{ .p = .{ 200, 600 }, .r = 50, .col = 0xff_ff_ff_ff });
draw_list.addCircle(.{ .p = .{ 200, 600 }, .r = 30, .col = 0xff_00_00_ff, .thickness = 11 });
draw_list.addPolyline(
&.{ .{ 100, 700 }, .{ 200, 600 }, .{ 300, 700 }, .{ 400, 600 } },
.{ .col = 0xff_00_aa_11, .thickness = 7 },
);
```
### Test Engine API
Zig wraper for [ImGUI test engine](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui_test_engine).
```zig
var check_b = false;
var _te: *zgui.te.TestEngine = zgui.te.getTestEngine().?;
fn registerTests() void {
_ = _te.registerTest(
"Awesome",
"should_do_some_another_magic",
@src(),
struct {
pub fn gui(ctx: *zgui.te.TestContext) !void {
_ = ctx; // autofix
_ = zgui.begin("Test Window", .{ .flags = .{ .no_saved_settings = true } });
defer zgui.end();
zgui.text("Hello, automation world", .{});
_ = zgui.button("Click Me", .{});
if (zgui.treeNode("Node")) {
defer zgui.treePop();
_ = zgui.checkbox("Checkbox", .{ .v = &check_b });
}
}
pub fn run(ctx: *zgui.te.TestContext) !void {
ctx.setRef("/Test Window");
ctx.windowFocus("");
ctx.itemAction(.click, "Click Me", .{}, null);
ctx.itemAction(.open, "Node", .{}, null);
ctx.itemAction(.check, "Node/Checkbox", .{}, null);
ctx.itemAction(.uncheck, "Node/Checkbox", .{}, null);
std.testing.expect(true) catch |err| {
zgui.te.checkTestError(@src(), err);
return;
};
}
},
);
}
```
### Plot API
```zig
if (zgui.plot.beginPlot("Line Plot", .{ .h = -1.0 })) {
zgui.plot.setupAxis(.x1, .{ .label = "xaxis" });
zgui.plot.setupAxisLimits(.x1, .{ .min = 0, .max = 5 });
zgui.plot.setupLegend(.{ .south = true, .west = true }, .{});
zgui.plot.setupFinish();
zgui.plot.plotLineValues("y data", i32, .{ .v = &.{ 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1 } });
zgui.plot.plotLine("xy data", f32, .{
.xv = &.{ 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 2.5 },
.yv = &.{ 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.9 },
});
zgui.plot.endPlot();
}
```
### Gizmo API
Zig wraper for [ImGuizmo](https://github.com/CedricGuillemet/ImGuizmo).
### Node editor API
Zig wraper for [ImGuiNodeEditor](https://github.com/thedmd/imgui-node-editor).
```zig
var node_editor = zgui.node_editor.EditorContext.create(.{ .enable_smooth_zoom = true }),
zgui.node_editor.setCurrentEditor(node_editor);
defer zgui.node_editor.setCurrentEditor(null);
{
zgui.node_editor.begin("NodeEditor", .{ 0, 0 });
defer zgui.node_editor.end();
zgui.node_editor.beginNode(1);
{
defer zgui.node_editor.endNode();
zgui.textUnformatted("Node A");
zgui.node_editor.beginPin(1, .input);
{
defer zgui.node_editor.endPin();
zgui.textUnformatted("-> In");
}
zgui.sameLine(.{});
zgui.node_editor.beginPin(2, .output);
{
defer zgui.node_editor.endPin();
zgui.textUnformatted("Out ->");
}
}
}
```
