Development of Hello ImGui is paused because I'm preparing for the National Postgraduate Entrance Examination in China. I'll restart the development once the exam is over on 26th of December.
Hello ImGui is an immediate mode GUI library inspired by IMGUI of Unity3D and dear imgui.
Now it runs on Win10 x64, Ubuntu 16.04, and Android. See platforms. MAC and iphone are not supported because I don't have them.
Please be infromed that ImGui is just released. There's a lack of usability and documentation. But all will be improved gradually.
Please note that the API is unstable and will change at any time.

Preparation
- Download msjh.ttf to directory
ImGui\src\ImGui\assets\fonts
. See font note. - Add a local directory as a new nuget package source and put
ImageSharp.1.0.0-alpha9.nupkg
inside. (The offical ImageSharp package is a dummy one on nuget.org. This is a modified version of the lastest ImageSharp so it supports .NET Standard 2.0.)
- Download msjh.ttf to directory
-
Create a .NET Core 2.0 project and reference ImGui.
-
Add follwing code files to your project,
Program.cs
namespace YourApp { class Program { [STAThread] static void Main() { Application.Init(); Application.Run(new MainForm()); } } }
MainForm.cs
namespace YourApp { public class MainForm : Form { public MainForm() : base(new Rect(320, 180, 1280, 720)) { } protected override void OnGUI() { //your GUI code here } } }

For now, please refer to the shared project Demo for how to use Hello ImGui.
