// dear imgui, v1.92.6 WIP
// (main code and documentation)
// Help:
// - Call and read ImGui::ShowDemoWindow() in imgui_demo.cpp. All applications in examples/ are doing that.
// - Read top of imgui.cpp for more details, links and comments.
// - Add '#define IMGUI_DEFINE_MATH_OPERATORS' before including imgui.h (or in imconfig.h) to access courtesy maths operators for ImVec2 and ImVec4.

MISSION STATEMENT
=================
- Easy to use to create code-driven and data-driven tools.
- Easy to use to create ad hoc short-lived tools and long-lived, more elaborate tools.
- Easy to hack and improve.
- Minimize setup and maintenance.
- Minimize state storage on user side.
- Minimize state synchronization.
- Portable, minimize dependencies, run on target (consoles, phones, etc.).
- Efficient runtime and memory consumption.
Designed primarily for developers and content-creators, not the typical end-user!
Some of the current weaknesses (which we aim to address in the future) includes:
- Doesn't look fancy by default.
- Limited layout features, intricate layouts are typically crafted in code.
CONTROLS GUIDE
==============
- MOUSE CONTROLS
- Mouse wheel: Scroll vertically.
- Shift+Mouse wheel: Scroll horizontally.
- Click [X]: Close a window, available when 'bool* p_open' is passed to ImGui::Begin().
- Click ^, Double-Click title: Collapse window.
- Drag on corner/border: Resize window (double-click to auto fit window to its contents).
- Drag on any empty space: Move window (unless io.ConfigWindowsMoveFromTitleBarOnly = true).
- Left-click outside popup: Close popup stack (right-click over underlying popup: Partially close popup stack).
- TEXT EDITOR
- Hold Shift or Drag Mouse: Select text.
- Ctrl+Left/Right: Word jump.
- Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right: Select words.
- Ctrl+A or Double-Click: Select All.
- Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V: Use OS clipboard.
- Ctrl+Z Undo.
- Ctrl+Y or Ctrl+Shift+Z: Redo.
- ESCAPE: Revert text to its original value.
- On macOS, controls are automatically adjusted to match standard macOS text editing and behaviors.
(for 99% of shortcuts, Ctrl is replaced by Cmd on macOS).
- KEYBOARD CONTROLS
- Basic:
- Tab, Shift+Tab Cycle through text editable fields.
- Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Shift+Tab Cycle through windows.
- Ctrl+Click Input text into a Slider or Drag widget.
- Extended features with `io.ConfigFlags |= ImGuiConfigFlags_NavEnableKeyboard`:
- Tab, Shift+Tab: Cycle through every items.
- Arrow keys Move through items using directional navigation. Tweak value.
- Arrow keys + Alt, Shift Tweak slower, tweak faster (when using arrow keys).
- Enter Activate item (prefer text input when possible).
- Space Activate item (prefer tweaking with arrows when possible).
- Escape Deactivate item, leave child window, close popup.
- Page Up, Page Down Previous page, next page.
- Home, End Scroll to top, scroll to bottom.
- Alt Toggle between scrolling layer and menu layer.
- Ctrl+Tab then Ctrl+Arrows Move window. Hold Shift to resize instead of moving.
- Output when ImGuiConfigFlags_NavEnableKeyboard set,
- io.WantCaptureKeyboard flag is set when keyboard is claimed.
- io.NavActive: true when a window is focused and it doesn't have the ImGuiWindowFlags_NoNavInputs flag set.
- io.NavVisible: true when the navigation cursor is visible (usually goes to back false when mouse is used).
- GAMEPAD CONTROLS
- Enable with 'io.ConfigFlags |= ImGuiConfigFlags_NavEnableGamepad'.
- Particularly useful to use Dear ImGui on a console system (e.g. PlayStation, Switch, Xbox) without a mouse!
- Download controller mapping PNG/PSD at http://dearimgui.com/controls_sheets
- Backend support: backend needs to:
- Set 'io.BackendFlags |= ImGuiBackendFlags_HasGamepad' + call io.AddKeyEvent/AddKeyAnalogEvent() with ImGuiKey_Gamepad_XXX keys.
- For analog values (0.0f to 1.0f), backend is responsible to handling a dead-zone and rescaling inputs accordingly.
Backend code will probably need to transform your raw inputs (such as e.g. remapping your 0.2..0.9 raw input range to 0.0..1.0 imgui range, etc.).
- If you need to share inputs between your game and the Dear ImGui interface, the easiest approach is to go all-or-nothing,
with a buttons combo to toggle the target. Please reach out if you think the game vs navigation input sharing could be improved.
- REMOTE INPUTS SHARING & MOUSE EMULATION
- PS4/PS5 users: Consider emulating a mouse cursor with DualShock touch pad or a spare analog stick as a mouse-emulation fallback.
- Consoles/Tablet/Phone users: Consider using a Synergy 1.x server (on your PC) + run examples/libs/synergy/uSynergy.c (on your console/tablet/phone app)
in order to share your PC mouse/keyboard.
- See https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Useful-Extensions#remoting for other remoting solutions.
- On a TV/console system where readability may be lower or mouse inputs may be awkward, you may want to set the io.ConfigNavMoveSetMousePos flag.
Enabling io.ConfigNavMoveSetMousePos + ImGuiBackendFlags_HasSetMousePos instructs Dear ImGui to move your mouse cursor along with navigation movements.
When enabled, the NewFrame() function may alter 'io.MousePos' and set 'io.WantSetMousePos' to notify you that it wants the mouse cursor to be moved.
When that happens your backend NEEDS to move the OS or underlying mouse cursor on the next frame. Some of the backends in examples/ do that.
(If you set the NavEnableSetMousePos flag but don't honor 'io.WantSetMousePos' properly, Dear ImGui will misbehave as it will see your mouse moving back & forth!)
(In a setup when you may not have easy control over the mouse cursor, e.g. uSynergy.c doesn't expose moving remote mouse cursor, you may want
to set a boolean to ignore your other external mouse positions until the external source is moved again.)
PROGRAMMER GUIDE
================
READ FIRST
----------
- Remember to check the wonderful Wiki: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki
- Your code creates the UI every frame of your application loop, if your code doesn't run the UI is gone!
The UI can be highly dynamic, there are no construction or destruction steps, less superfluous
data retention on your side, less state duplication, less state synchronization, fewer bugs.
- Call and read ImGui::ShowDemoWindow() for demo code demonstrating most features.
Or browse https://pthom.github.io/imgui_manual_online/manual/imgui_manual.html for interactive web version.
- The library is designed to be built from sources. Avoid pre-compiled binaries and packaged versions. See imconfig.h to configure your build.
- Dear ImGui is an implementation of the IMGUI paradigm (immediate-mode graphical user interface, a term coined by Casey Muratori).
You can learn about IMGUI principles at http://www.johno.se/book/imgui.html, http://mollyrocket.com/861 & more links in Wiki.
- Dear ImGui is a "single pass" rasterizing implementation of the IMGUI paradigm, aimed at ease of use and high-performances.
For every application frame, your UI code will be called only once. This is in contrast to e.g. Unity's implementation of an IMGUI,
where the UI code is called multiple times ("multiple passes") from a single entry point. There are pros and cons to both approaches.
- Our origin is on the top-left. In axis aligned bounding boxes, Min = top-left, Max = bottom-right.
- Please make sure you have asserts enabled (IM_ASSERT redirects to assert() by default, but can be redirected).
If you get an assert, read the messages and comments around the assert.
- This codebase aims to be highly optimized:
- A typical idle frame should never call malloc/free.
- We rely on a maximum of constant-time or O(N) algorithms. Limiting searches/scans as much as possible.
- We put particular energy in making sure performances are decent with typical "Debug" build settings as well.
Which mean we tend to avoid over-relying on "zero-cost abstraction" as they aren't zero-cost at all.
- This codebase aims to be both highly opinionated and highly flexible:
- This code works because of the things it choose to solve or not solve.
- C++: this is a pragmatic C-ish codebase: we don't use fancy C++ features, we don't include C++ headers,
and ImGui:: is a namespace. We rarely use member functions (and when we did, I am mostly regretting it now).
This is to increase compatibility, increase maintainability and facilitate use from other languages.
- C++: ImVec2/ImVec4 do not expose math operators by default, because it is expected that you use your own math types.
See FAQ "How can I use my own math types instead of ImVec2/ImVec4?" for details about setting up imconfig.h for that.
We can can optionally export math operators for ImVec2/ImVec4 using IMGUI_DEFINE_MATH_OPERATORS, which we use internally.
- C++: pay attention that ImVector<> manipulates plain-old-data and does not honor construction/destruction
(so don't use ImVector in your code or at our own risk!).
- Building: We don't use nor mandate a build system for the main library.
This is in an effort to ensure that it works in the real world aka with any esoteric build setup.
This is also because providing a build system for the main library would be of little-value.
The build problems are almost never coming from the main library but from specific backends.
HOW TO UPDATE TO A NEWER VERSION OF DEAR IMGUI
----------------------------------------------
- Update submodule or copy/overwrite every file.
- About imconfig.h:
- You may modify your copy of imconfig.h, in this case don't overwrite it.
- or you may locally branch to modify imconfig.h and merge/rebase latest.
- or you may '#define IMGUI_USER_CONFIG "my_config_file.h"' globally from your build system to
specify a custom path for your imconfig.h file and instead not have to modify the default one.
- Overwrite all the sources files except for imconfig.h (if you have modified your copy of imconfig.h)
- Or maintain your own branch where you have imconfig.h modified as a top-most commit which you can regularly rebase over "master".
- You can also use '#define IMGUI_USER_CONFIG "my_config_file.h" to redirect configuration to your own file.
- Read the "API BREAKING CHANGES" section (below). This is where we list occasional API breaking changes.
If a function/type has been renamed / or marked obsolete, try to fix the name in your code before it is permanently removed
from the public API. If you have a problem with a missing function/symbols, search for its name in the code, there will
likely be a comment about it. Please report any issue to the GitHub page!
- To find out usage of old API, you can add '#define IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_FUNCTIONS' in your configuration file.
- Try to keep your copy of Dear ImGui reasonably up to date!
GETTING STARTED WITH INTEGRATING DEAR IMGUI IN YOUR CODE/ENGINE
---------------------------------------------------------------
- See https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Getting-Started.
- Run and study the examples and demo in imgui_demo.cpp to get acquainted with the library.
- In the majority of cases you should be able to use unmodified backends files available in the backends/ folder.
- Add the Dear ImGui source files + selected backend source files to your projects or using your preferred build system.
It is recommended you build and statically link the .cpp files as part of your project and NOT as a shared library (DLL).
- You can later customize the imconfig.h file to tweak some compile-time behavior, such as integrating Dear ImGui types with your own maths types.
- When using Dear ImGui, your programming IDE is your friend: follow the declaration of variables, functions and types to find comments about them.
- Dear ImGui never touches or knows about your GPU state. The only function that knows about GPU is the draw function that you provide.
Effectively it means you can create widgets at any time in your code, regardless of considerations of being in "update" vs "render"
phases of your own application. All rendering information is stored into command-lists that you will retrieve after calling ImGui::Render().
- Refer to the backends and demo applications in the examples/ folder for instruction on how to setup your code.
- If you are running over a standard OS with a common graphics API, you should be able to use unmodified imgui_impl_*** files from the examples/ folder.
HOW A SIMPLE APPLICATION MAY LOOK LIKE
--------------------------------------
USING THE EXAMPLE BACKENDS (= imgui_impl_XXX.cpp files from the backends/ folder).
The sub-folders in examples/ contain examples applications following this structure.
// Application init: create a dear imgui context, setup some options, load fonts
ImGui::CreateContext();
ImGuiIO& io = ImGui::GetIO();
// TODO: Set optional io.ConfigFlags values, e.g. 'io.ConfigFlags |= ImGuiConfigFlags_NavEnableKeyboard' to enable keyboard controls.
// TODO: Fill optional fields of the io structure later.
// TODO: Load TTF/OTF fonts if you don't want to use the default font.
// Initialize helper Platform and Renderer backends (here we are using imgui_impl_win32.cpp and imgui_impl_dx11.cpp)
ImGui_ImplWin32_Init(hwnd);
ImGui_ImplDX11_Init(g_pd3dDevice, g_pd3dDeviceContext);
// Application main loop
while (true)
{
// Feed inputs to dear imgui, start new frame
ImGui_ImplDX11_NewFrame();
ImGui_ImplWin32_NewFrame();
ImGui::NewFrame();
// Any application code here
ImGui::Text("Hello, world!");
// Render dear imgui into framebuffer
ImGui::Render();
ImGui_ImplDX11_RenderDrawData(ImGui::GetDrawData());
g_pSwapChain->Present(1, 0);
}
// Shutdown
ImGui_ImplDX11_Shutdown();
ImGui_ImplWin32_Shutdown();
ImGui::DestroyContext();
To decide whether to dispatch mouse/keyboard inputs to Dear ImGui to the rest of your application,
you should read the 'io.WantCaptureMouse', 'io.WantCaptureKeyboard' and 'io.WantTextInput' flags!
Please read the FAQ entry "How can I tell whether to dispatch mouse/keyboard to Dear ImGui or my application?" about this.
USING CUSTOM BACKEND / CUSTOM ENGINE
------------------------------------
IMPLEMENTING YOUR PLATFORM BACKEND:
-> see https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/docs/BACKENDS.md for basic instructions.
-> the Platform backends in impl_impl_XXX.cpp files contain many implementations.
IMPLEMENTING YOUR RenderDrawData() function:
-> see https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/docs/BACKENDS.md
-> the Renderer Backends in impl_impl_XXX.cpp files contain many implementations of a ImGui_ImplXXXX_RenderDrawData() function.
IMPLEMENTING SUPPORT for ImGuiBackendFlags_RendererHasTextures:
-> see https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/docs/BACKENDS.md
-> the Renderer Backends in impl_impl_XXX.cpp files contain many implementations of a ImGui_ImplXXXX_UpdateTexture() function.
Basic application/backend skeleton:
// Application init: create a Dear ImGui context, setup some options, load fonts
ImGui::CreateContext();
ImGuiIO& io = ImGui::GetIO();
// TODO: set io.ConfigXXX values, e.g.
io.ConfigFlags |= ImGuiConfigFlags_NavEnableKeyboard; // Enable keyboard controls
// TODO: Load TTF/OTF fonts if you don't want to use the default font.
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("NotoSans.ttf");
// Application main loop
while (true)
{
// Setup low-level inputs, e.g. on Win32: calling GetKeyboardState(), or write to those fields from your Windows message handlers, etc.
// (In the examples/ app this is usually done within the ImGui_ImplXXX_NewFrame() function from one of the demo Platform Backends)
io.DeltaTime = 1.0f/60.0f; // set the time elapsed since the previous frame (in seconds)
io.DisplaySize.x = 1920.0f; // set the current display width
io.DisplaySize.y = 1280.0f; // set the current display height here
io.AddMousePosEvent(mouse_x, mouse_y); // update mouse position
io.AddMouseButtonEvent(0, mouse_b[0]); // update mouse button states
io.AddMouseButtonEvent(1, mouse_b[1]); // update mouse button states
// Call NewFrame(), after this point you can use ImGui::* functions anytime
// (So you want to try calling NewFrame() as early as you can in your main loop to be able to use Dear ImGui everywhere)
ImGui::NewFrame();
// Most of your application code here
ImGui::Text("Hello, world!");
MyGameUpdate(); // may use any Dear ImGui functions, e.g. ImGui::Begin("My window"); ImGui::Text("Hello, world!"); ImGui::End();
MyGameRender(); // may use any Dear ImGui functions as well!
// End the dear imgui frame
// (You want to try calling EndFrame/Render as late as you can, to be able to use Dear ImGui in your own game rendering code)
ImGui::EndFrame(); // this is automatically called by Render(), but available
ImGui::Render();
// Update textures
ImDrawData* draw_data = ImGui::GetDrawData();
for (ImTextureData* tex : *draw_data->Textures)
if (tex->Status != ImTextureStatus_OK)
MyImGuiBackend_UpdateTexture(tex);
// Render dear imgui contents, swap buffers
MyImGuiBackend_RenderDrawData(draw_data);
SwapBuffers();
}
// Shutdown
ImGui::DestroyContext();
API BREAKING CHANGES
====================
Occasionally introducing changes that are breaking the API. We try to make the breakage minor and easy to fix.
Below is a change-log of API breaking changes only. If you are using one of the functions listed, expect to have to fix some code.
When you are not sure about an old symbol or function name, try using the Search/Find function of your IDE to look for comments or references in all imgui files.
You can read releases logs https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/releases for more details.
- 2026/01/08 (1.92.6) - Commented out legacy names obsoleted in 1.90 (Sept 2023): 'BeginChildFrame()' --> 'BeginChild()' with 'ImGuiChildFlags_FrameStyle'. 'EndChildFrame()' --> 'EndChild()'. 'ShowStackToolWindow()' --> 'ShowIDStackToolWindow()'. 'IM_OFFSETOF()' --> 'offsetof()'.
- 2026/01/07 (1.92.6) - Popups: changed compile-time 'ImGuiPopupFlags popup_flags = 1' default value to be '= 0' for BeginPopupContextItem(), BeginPopupContextWindow(), BeginPopupContextVoid(), OpenPopupOnItemClick(). Default value has same meaning before and after.
- Refer to GitHub topic #9157 if you have any question.
- Before this version, those functions had a 'ImGuiPopupFlags popup_flags = 1' default value in their function signature.
Explicitly passing a literal 0 meant ImGuiPopupFlags_MouseButtonLeft. The default literal 1 meant ImGuiPopupFlags_MouseButtonRight.
This was introduced by a change on 2020/06/23 (1.77) while changing the signature from 'int mouse_button' to 'ImGuiPopupFlags popup_flags' and trying to preserve then-legacy behavior.
We have now changed this behavior to cleanup a very old API quirk, facilitate use by bindings, and to remove the last and error-prone non-zero default value.
Also because we deemed it extremely rare to use those helper functions with the Left mouse button! As using the LMB would generally be triggered via another widget, e.g. a Button() + a OpenPopup()/BeginPopup() call.
- Before: The default = 1 means ImGuiPopupFlags_MouseButtonRight. Explicitly passing a literal 0 means ImGuiPopupFlags_MouseButtonLeft.
- After: The default = 0 means ImGuiPopupFlags_MouseButtonRight. Explicitly passing a literal 1 also means ImGuiPopupFlags_MouseButtonRight (if legacy behavior are enabled) or will assert (if legacy behavior are disabled).
- TL;DR: if you don't want to use right mouse button for popups, always specify it explicitly using a named ImGuiPopupFlags_MouseButtonXXXX value.
Recap:
- BeginPopupContextItem("foo"); // Behavior unchanged (use Right button)
- BeginPopupContextItem("foo", ImGuiPopupFlags_MouseButtonLeft); // Behavior unchanged (use Left button)
- BeginPopupContextItem("foo", ImGuiPopupFlags_MouseButtonLeft | xxx); // Behavior unchanged (use Left button + flags)
- BeginPopupContextItem("foo", ImGuiPopupFlags_MouseButtonRight | xxx); // Behavior unchanged (use Right button + flags)
- BeginPopupContextItem("foo", 1); // Behavior unchanged (as a courtesy we legacy interpret 1 as ImGuiPopupFlags_MouseButtonRight, will assert if disabling legacy behaviors.
- BeginPopupContextItem("foo", 0); // !! Behavior changed !! Was Left button. Now will defaults to Right button! --> Use ImGuiPopupFlags_MouseButtonLeft.
- BeginPopupContextItem("foo", ImGuiPopupFlags_NoReopen); // !! Behavior changed !! Was Left button + flags. Now will defaults to Right button! --> Use ImGuiPopupFlags_MouseButtonLeft | xxx.
- 2025/12/23 (1.92.6) - Fonts:AddFontDefault() now automatically selects an embedded font between the new scalable AddFontDefaultVector() and the classic pixel-clean AddFontDefaultBitmap().
The default selection is based on (style.FontSizeBase * FontScaleMain * FontScaleDpi) reaching a small threshold. Prefer calling either based on your own logic. You can call AddFontDefaultBitmap() to ensure legacy behavior.
- 2025/12/23 (1.92.6) - Fonts: removed ImFontConfig::PixelSnapV added in 1.92 which turns out is unnecessary (and misdocumented). Post-rescale GlyphOffset is always rounded.
- 2025/12/17 (1.92.6) - Renamed helper macro IM_ARRAYSIZE() -> IM_COUNTOF(). Kept redirection/legacy name for now.
- 2025/12/11 (1.92.6) - Hashing: handling of "###" operator to reset to seed within a string identifier doesn't include the "###" characters in the output hash anymore.
- Before: GetID("Hello###World") == GetID("###World") != GetID("World");
- Now: GetID("Hello###World") == GetID("###World") == GetID("World");
- This has the property of facilitating concatenating and manipulating identifiers using "###", and will allow fixing other dangling issues.
- This will invalidate hashes (stored in .ini data) for Tables and Windows that are using the "###" operators. (#713, #1698)
- 2025/11/24 (1.92.6) - Fonts: Fixed handling of `ImFontConfig::FontDataOwnedByAtlas = false` which did erroneously make a copy of the font data, essentially defeating the purpose of this flag and wasting memory.
(trivia: undetected since July 2015, this is perhaps the oldest bug in Dear ImGui history, albeit for a rarely used feature, see #9086)
HOWEVER, fixing this bug is likely to surface bugs in user code using `FontDataOwnedByAtlas = false`.
- Prior to 1.92, font data only needed to be available during the atlas->AddFontXXX() call.
- Since 1.92, font data needs to available until atlas->RemoveFont(), or more typically until a shutdown of the owning context or font atlas.
- The fact that handling of `FontDataOwnedByAtlas = false` was broken bypassed the issue altogether.
- 2025/11/06 (1.92.5) - BeginChild: commented out some legacy names which were obsoleted in 1.90.0 (Nov 2023), 1.90.9 (July 2024), 1.91.1 (August 2024):
- ImGuiChildFlags_Border --> ImGuiChildFlags_Borders
- ImGuiWindowFlags_NavFlattened --> ImGuiChildFlags_NavFlattened (moved to ImGuiChildFlags). BeginChild(name, size, 0, ImGuiWindowFlags_NavFlattened) --> BeginChild(name, size, ImGuiChildFlags_NavFlattened, 0)
- ImGuiWindowFlags_AlwaysUseWindowPadding --> ImGuiChildFlags_AlwaysUseWindowPadding (moved to ImGuiChildFlags). BeginChild(name, size, 0, ImGuiWindowFlags_AlwaysUseWindowPadding) --> BeginChild(name, size, ImGuiChildFlags_AlwaysUseWindowPadding, 0)
- 2025/11/06 (1.92.5) - Keys: commented out legacy names which were obsoleted in 1.89.0 (August 2022):
- ImGuiKey_ModCtrl --> ImGuiMod_Ctrl
- ImGuiKey_ModShift --> ImGuiMod_Shift
- ImGuiKey_ModAlt --> ImGuiMod_Alt
- ImGuiKey_ModSuper --> ImGuiMod_Super
- 2025/11/06 (1.92.5) - IO: commented out legacy io.ClearInputCharacters() obsoleted in 1.89.8 (Aug 2023). Calling io.ClearInputKeys() is enough.
- 2025/11/06 (1.92.5) - Commented out legacy SetItemAllowOverlap() obsoleted in 1.89.7: this never worked right. Use SetNextItemAllowOverlap() _before_ item instead.
- 2025/10/14 (1.92.4) - TreeNode, Selectable, Clipper: commented out legacy names which were obsoleted in 1.89.7 (July 2023) and 1.89.9 (Sept 2023);
- ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_AllowItemOverlap --> ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_AllowOverlap
- ImGuiSelectableFlags_AllowItemOverlap --> ImGuiSelectableFlags_AllowOverlap
- ImGuiListClipper::IncludeRangeByIndices() --> ImGuiListClipper::IncludeItemsByIndex()
- 2025/08/08 (1.92.2) - Backends: SDL_GPU3: Changed ImTextureID type from SDL_GPUTextureSamplerBinding* to SDL_GPUTexture*, which is more natural and easier for user to manage. If you need to change the current sampler, you can access the ImGui_ImplSDLGPU3_RenderState struct. (#8866, #8163, #7998, #7988)
- 2025/07/31 (1.92.2) - Tabs: Renamed ImGuiTabBarFlags_FittingPolicyResizeDown to ImGuiTabBarFlags_FittingPolicyShrink. Kept inline redirection enum (will obsolete).
- 2025/06/25 (1.92.0) - Layout: commented out legacy ErrorCheckUsingSetCursorPosToExtendParentBoundaries() fallback obsoleted in 1.89 (August 2022) which allowed a SetCursorPos()/SetCursorScreenPos() call WITHOUT AN ITEM
to extend parent window/cell boundaries. Replaced with assert/tooltip that would already happens if previously using IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_FUNCTIONS. (#5548, #4510, #3355, #1760, #1490, #4152, #150)
- Incorrect way to make a window content size 200x200:
Begin(...) + SetCursorScreenPos(GetCursorScreenPos() + ImVec2(200,200)) + End();
- Correct ways to make a window content size 200x200:
Begin(...) + SetCursorScreenPos(GetCursorScreenPos() + ImVec2(200,200)) + Dummy(ImVec2(0,0)) + End();
Begin(...) + Dummy(ImVec2(200,200)) + End();
- TL;DR; if the assert triggers, you can add a Dummy({0,0}) call to validate extending parent boundaries.
- 2025/06/11 (1.92.0) - THIS VERSION CONTAINS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BREAKING CHANGES SINCE 2015! I TRIED REALLY HARD TO KEEP THEM TO A MINIMUM, REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF INTERFERENCES, BUT INEVITABLY SOME USERS WILL BE AFFECTED.
IN ORDER TO HELP US IMPROVE THE TRANSITION PROCESS, INCL. DOCUMENTATION AND COMMENTS, PLEASE REPORT **ANY** DOUBT, CONFUSION, QUESTIONS, FEEDBACK TO: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/
As part of the plan to reduce impact of API breaking changes, several unfinished changes/features/refactors related to font and text systems and scaling will be part of subsequent releases (1.92.1+).
If you are updating from an old version, and expecting a massive or difficult update, consider first updating to 1.91.9 to reduce the amount of changes.
- Hard to read? Refer to 'docs/Changelog.txt' for a less compact and more complete version of this!
- Fonts: **IMPORTANT**: if your app was solving the OSX/iOS Retina screen specific logical vs display scale problem by setting io.DisplayFramebufferScale (e.g. to 2.0f) + setting io.FontGlobalScale (e.g. to 1.0f/2.0f) + loading fonts at scaled sizes (e.g. size X * 2.0f):
This WILL NOT map correctly to the new system! Because font will rasterize as requested size.
- With a legacy backend (< 1.92): Instead of setting io.FontGlobalScale = 1.0f/N -> set ImFontCfg::RasterizerDensity = N. This already worked before, but is now pretty much required.
- With a new backend (1.92+): This should be all automatic. FramebufferScale is automatically used to set current font RasterizerDensity. FramebufferScale is a per-viewport property provided by backend through the Platform_GetWindowFramebufferScale() handler in 'docking' branch.
- Fonts: **IMPORTANT** on Font Sizing: Before 1.92, fonts were of a single size. They can now be dynamically sized.
- PushFont() API now has a REQUIRED size parameter.
- Before 1.92: PushFont() always used font "default" size specified in AddFont() call. It is equivalent to calling PushFont(font, font->LegacySize).
- Since 1.92: PushFont(font, 0.0f) preserve the current font size which is a shared value.
- To use old behavior: use 'ImGui::PushFont(font, font->LegacySize)' at call site.
- Kept inline single parameter function. Will obsolete.
- Fonts: **IMPORTANT** on Font Merging:
- When searching for a glyph in multiple merged fonts: we search for the FIRST font source which contains the desired glyph.
Because the user doesn't need to provide glyph ranges any more, it is possible that a glyph that you expected to fetch from a secondary/merged icon font may be erroneously fetched from the primary font.
- When searching for a glyph in multiple merged fonts: we now search for the FIRST font source which contains the desired glyph. This is technically a different behavior than before!
- e.g. If you are merging fonts you may have glyphs that you expected to load from Font Source 2 which exists in Font Source 1.
After the update and when using a new backend, those glyphs may now loaded from Font Source 1!
- We added `ImFontConfig::GlyphExcludeRanges[]` to specify ranges to exclude from a given font source:
// Add Font Source 1 but ignore ICON_MIN_FA..ICON_MAX_FA range
static ImWchar exclude_ranges[] = { ICON_MIN_FA, ICON_MAX_FA, 0 };
ImFontConfig cfg1;
cfg1.GlyphExcludeRanges = exclude_ranges;
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("segoeui.ttf", 0.0f, &cfg1);
// Add Font Source 2, which expects to use the range above
ImFontConfig cfg2;
cfg2.MergeMode = true;
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("FontAwesome4.ttf", 0.0f, &cfg2);
- You can use `Metrics/Debugger->Fonts->Font->Input Glyphs Overlap Detection Tool` to see list of glyphs available in multiple font sources. This can facilitate understanding which font input is providing which glyph.
- Fonts: **IMPORTANT** on Thread Safety:
- A few functions such as font->CalcTextSizeA() were, by sheer luck (== accidentally) thread-safe even though we had never provided that guarantee. They are definitively not thread-safe anymore as new glyphs may be loaded.
- Fonts: ImFont::FontSize was removed and does not make sense anymore. ImFont::LegacySize is the size passed to AddFont().
- Fonts: Removed support for PushFont(NULL) which was a shortcut for "default font".
- Fonts: Renamed/moved 'io.FontGlobalScale' to 'style.FontScaleMain'.
- Textures: all API functions taking a 'ImTextureID' parameter are now taking a 'ImTextureRef'. Affected functions are: ImGui::Image(), ImGui::ImageWithBg(), ImGui::ImageButton(), ImDrawList::AddImage(), ImDrawList::AddImageQuad(), ImDrawList::AddImageRounded().
- Fonts: obsoleted ImFontAtlas::GetTexDataAsRGBA32(), GetTexDataAsAlpha8(), Build(), SetTexID(), IsBuilt() functions. The new protocol for backends to handle textures doesn't need them. Kept redirection functions (will obsolete).
- Fonts: ImFontConfig::OversampleH/OversampleV default to automatic (== 0) since v1.91.8. It is quite important you keep it automatic until we decide if we want to provide a way to express finer policy, otherwise you will likely waste texture space when using large glyphs. Note that the imgui_freetype backend doesn't use and does not need oversampling.
- Fonts: specifying glyph ranges is now unnecessary. The value of ImFontConfig::GlyphRanges[] is only useful for legacy backends. All GetGlyphRangesXXXX() functions are now marked obsolete: GetGlyphRangesDefault(), GetGlyphRangesGreek(), GetGlyphRangesKorean(), GetGlyphRangesJapanese(), GetGlyphRangesChineseSimplifiedCommon(), GetGlyphRangesChineseFull(), GetGlyphRangesCyrillic(), GetGlyphRangesThai(), GetGlyphRangesVietnamese().
- Fonts: removed ImFontAtlas::TexDesiredWidth to enforce a texture width. (#327)
- Fonts: if you create and manage ImFontAtlas instances yourself (instead of relying on ImGuiContext to create one), you'll need to call ImFontAtlasUpdateNewFrame() yourself. An assert will trigger if you don't.
- Fonts: obsolete ImGui::SetWindowFontScale() which is not useful anymore. Prefer using 'PushFont(NULL, style.FontSizeBase * factor)' or to manipulate other scaling factors.
- Fonts: obsoleted ImFont::Scale which is not useful anymore.
- Fonts: generally reworked Internals of ImFontAtlas and ImFont. While in theory a vast majority of users shouldn't be affected, some use cases or extensions might be. Among other things:
- ImDrawCmd::TextureId has been changed to ImDrawCmd::TexRef.
- ImFontAtlas::TexID has been changed to ImFontAtlas::TexRef.
- ImFontAtlas::ConfigData[] has been renamed to ImFontAtlas::Sources[]
- ImFont::ConfigData[], ConfigDataCount has been renamed to Sources[], SourceCount.
- Each ImFont has a number of ImFontBaked instances corresponding to actively used sizes. ImFont::GetFontBaked(size) retrieves the one for a given size.
- Fields moved from ImFont to ImFontBaked: IndexAdvanceX[], Glyphs[], Ascent, Descent, FindGlyph(), FindGlyphNoFallback(), GetCharAdvance().
- Fields moved from ImFontAtlas to ImFontAtlas->Tex: ImFontAtlas::TexWidth => TexData->Width, ImFontAtlas::TexHeight => TexData->Height, ImFontAtlas::TexPixelsAlpha8/TexPixelsRGBA32 => TexData->GetPixels().
- Widget code may use ImGui::GetFontBaked() instead of ImGui::GetFont() to access font data for current font at current font size (and you may use font->GetFontBaked(size) to access it for any other size.)
- Fonts: (users of imgui_freetype): renamed ImFontAtlas::FontBuilderFlags to ImFontAtlas::FontLoaderFlags. Renamed ImFontConfig::FontBuilderFlags to ImFontConfig::FontLoaderFlags. Renamed ImGuiFreeTypeBuilderFlags to ImGuiFreeTypeLoaderFlags.
If you used runtime imgui_freetype selection rather than the default IMGUI_ENABLE_FREETYPE compile-time option: Renamed/reworked ImFontBuilderIO into ImFontLoader. Renamed ImGuiFreeType::GetBuilderForFreeType() to ImGuiFreeType::GetFontLoader().
- old: io.Fonts->FontBuilderIO = ImGuiFreeType::GetBuilderForFreeType()
- new: io.Fonts->FontLoader = ImGuiFreeType::GetFontLoader()
- new: io.Fonts->SetFontLoader(ImGuiFreeType::GetFontLoader()) to change dynamically at runtime [from 1.92.1]
- Fonts: (users of custom rectangles, see #8466): Renamed AddCustomRectRegular() to AddCustomRect(). Added GetCustomRect() as a replacement for GetCustomRectByIndex() + CalcCustomRectUV().
- The output type of GetCustomRect() is now ImFontAtlasRect, which include UV coordinates. X->x, Y->y, Width->w, Height->h.
- old:
const ImFontAtlasCustomRect* r = atlas->GetCustomRectByIndex(custom_rect_id);
ImVec2 uv0, uv1;
atlas->GetCustomRectUV(r, &uv0, &uv1);
ImGui::Image(atlas->TexRef, ImVec2(r->w, r->h), uv0, uv1);
- new;
ImFontAtlasRect r;
atlas->GetCustomRect(custom_rect_id, &r);
ImGui::Image(atlas->TexRef, ImVec2(r.w, r.h), r.uv0, r.uv1);
- We added a redirecting typedef but haven't attempted to magically redirect the field names, as this API is rarely used and the fix is simple.
- Obsoleted AddCustomRectFontGlyph() as the API does not make sense for scalable fonts. Kept existing function which uses the font "default size" (Sources[0]->LegacySize). Added a helper AddCustomRectFontGlyphForSize() which is immediately marked obsolete, but can facilitate transitioning old code.
- Prefer adding a font source (ImFontConfig) using a custom/procedural loader.
- DrawList: Renamed ImDrawList::PushTextureID()/PopTextureID() to PushTexture()/PopTexture().
- Backends: removed ImGui_ImplXXXX_CreateFontsTexture()/ImGui_ImplXXXX_DestroyFontsTexture() for all backends that had them. They should not be necessary any more.
- 2025/05/23 (1.92.0) - Fonts: changed ImFont::CalcWordWrapPositionA() to ImFont::CalcWordWrapPosition()
- old: const char* ImFont::CalcWordWrapPositionA(float scale, const char* text, ....);
- new: const char* ImFont::CalcWordWrapPosition (float size, const char* text, ....);
The leading 'float scale' parameters was changed to 'float size'. This was necessary as 'scale' is assuming standard font size which is a concept we aim to eliminate in an upcoming update. Kept inline redirection function.
- 2025/05/15 (1.92.0) - TreeNode: renamed ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_NavLeftJumpsBackHere to ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_NavLeftJumpsToParent for clarity. Kept inline redirection enum (will obsolete).
- 2025/05/15 (1.92.0) - Commented out PushAllowKeyboardFocus()/PopAllowKeyboardFocus() which was obsoleted in 1.89.4. Use PushItemFlag(ImGuiItemFlags_NoTabStop, !tab_stop)/PopItemFlag() instead. (#3092)
- 2025/05/15 (1.92.0) - Commented out ImGuiListClipper::ForceDisplayRangeByIndices() which was obsoleted in 1.89.6. Use ImGuiListClipper::IncludeItemsByIndex() instead.
- 2025/03/05 (1.91.9) - BeginMenu(): Internals: reworked mangling of menu windows to use "###Menu_00" etc. instead of "##Menu_00", allowing them to also store the menu name before it. This shouldn't affect code unless directly accessing menu window from their mangled name.
- 2025/04/16 (1.91.9) - Internals: RenderTextEllipsis() function removed the 'float clip_max_x' parameter directly preceding 'float ellipsis_max_x'. Values were identical for a vast majority of users. (#8387)
- 2025/02/27 (1.91.9) - Image(): removed 'tint_col' and 'border_col' parameter from Image() function. Added ImageWithBg() replacement. (#8131, #8238)
- old: void Image (ImTextureID tex_id, ImVec2 image_size, ImVec2 uv0 = (0,0), ImVec2 uv1 = (1,1), ImVec4 tint_col = (1,1,1,1), ImVec4 border_col = (0,0,0,0));
- new: void Image (ImTextureID tex_id, ImVec2 image_size, ImVec2 uv0 = (0,0), ImVec2 uv1 = (1,1));
- new: void ImageWithBg(ImTextureID tex_id, ImVec2 image_size, ImVec2 uv0 = (0,0), ImVec2 uv1 = (1,1), ImVec4 bg_col = (0,0,0,0), ImVec4 tint_col = (1,1,1,1));
- TL;DR: 'border_col' had misleading side-effect on layout, 'bg_col' was missing, parameter order couldn't be consistent with ImageButton().
- new behavior always use ImGuiCol_Border color + style.ImageBorderSize / ImGuiStyleVar_ImageBorderSize.
- old behavior altered border size (and therefore layout) based on border color's alpha, which caused variety of problems + old behavior a fixed 1.0f for border size which was not tweakable.
- kept legacy signature (will obsolete), which mimics the old behavior, but uses Max(1.0f, style.ImageBorderSize) when border_col is specified.
- added ImageWithBg() function which has both 'bg_col' (which was missing) and 'tint_col'. It was impossible to add 'bg_col' to Image() with a parameter order consistent with other functions, so we decided to remove 'tint_col' and introduce ImageWithBg().
- 2025/02/25 (1.91.9) - internals: fonts: ImFontAtlas::ConfigData[] has been renamed to ImFontAtlas::Sources[]. ImFont::ConfigData[], ConfigDataCount has been renamed to Sources[], SourcesCount.
- 2025/02/06 (1.91.9) - renamed ImFontConfig::GlyphExtraSpacing.x to ImFontConfig::GlyphExtraAdvanceX.
- 2025/01/22 (1.91.8) - removed ImGuiColorEditFlags_AlphaPreview (made value 0): it is now the default behavior.
prior to 1.91.8: alpha was made opaque in the preview by default _unless_ using ImGuiColorEditFlags_AlphaPreview. We now display the preview as transparent by default. You can use ImGuiColorEditFlags_AlphaOpaque to use old behavior.
the new flags (ImGuiColorEditFlags_AlphaOpaque, ImGuiColorEditFlags_AlphaNoBg + existing ImGuiColorEditFlags_AlphaPreviewHalf) may be combined better and allow finer controls:
- 2025/01/14 (1.91.7) - renamed ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_SpanTextWidth to ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_SpanLabelWidth for consistency with other names. Kept redirection enum (will obsolete). (#6937)
- 2024/11/27 (1.91.6) - changed CRC32 table from CRC32-adler to CRC32c polynomial in order to be compatible with the result of SSE 4.2 instructions.
As a result, old .ini data may be partially lost (docking and tables information particularly).
Because some users have crafted and storing .ini data as a way to workaround limitations of the docking API, we are providing a '#define IMGUI_USE_LEGACY_CRC32_ADLER' compile-time option to keep using old CRC32 tables if you cannot afford invalidating old .ini data.
- 2024/11/06 (1.91.5) - commented/obsoleted out pre-1.87 IO system (equivalent to using IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_KEYIO or IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_FUNCTIONS before)
- io.KeyMap[] and io.KeysDown[] are removed (obsoleted February 2022).
- io.NavInputs[] and ImGuiNavInput are removed (obsoleted July 2022).
- GetKeyIndex() is removed (obsoleted March 2022). The indirection is now unnecessary.
- pre-1.87 backends are not supported:
- backends need to call io.AddKeyEvent(), io.AddMouseEvent() instead of writing to io.KeysDown[], io.MouseDown[] fields.
- backends need to call io.AddKeyAnalogEvent() for gamepad values instead of writing to io.NavInputs[] fields.
- for more reference:
- read 1.87 and 1.88 part of this section or read Changelog for 1.87 and 1.88.
- read https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/4921
- if you have trouble updating a very old codebase using legacy backend-specific key codes: consider updating to 1.91.4 first, then #define IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_KEYIO, then update to latest.
- obsoleted ImGuiKey_COUNT (it is unusually error-prone/misleading since valid keys don't start at 0). probably use ImGuiKey_NamedKey_BEGIN/ImGuiKey_NamedKey_END?
- fonts: removed const qualifiers from most font functions in prevision for upcoming font improvements.
- 2024/10/18 (1.91.4) - renamed ImGuiCol_NavHighlight to ImGuiCol_NavCursor (for consistency with newly exposed and reworked features). Kept inline redirection enum (will obsolete).
- 2024/10/14 (1.91.4) - moved ImGuiConfigFlags_NavEnableSetMousePos to standalone io.ConfigNavMoveSetMousePos bool.
moved ImGuiConfigFlags_NavNoCaptureKeyboard to standalone io.ConfigNavCaptureKeyboard bool (note the inverted value!).
kept legacy names (will obsolete) + code that copies settings once the first time. Dynamically changing the old value won't work. Switch to using the new value!
- 2024/10/10 (1.91.4) - the typedef for ImTextureID now defaults to ImU64 instead of void*. (#1641)
this removes the requirement to redefine it for backends which are e.g. storing descriptor sets or other 64-bits structures when building on 32-bits archs. It therefore simplify various building scripts/helpers.
you may have compile-time issues if you were casting to 'void*' instead of 'ImTextureID' when passing your types to functions taking ImTextureID values, e.g. ImGui::Image().
in doubt it is almost always better to do an intermediate intptr_t cast, since it allows casting any pointer/integer type without warning:
- May warn: ImGui::Image((void*)MyTextureData, ...);
- May warn: ImGui::Image((void*)(intptr_t)MyTextureData, ...);
- Won't warn: ImGui::Image((ImTextureID)(intptr_t)MyTextureData, ...);
- note that you can always define ImTextureID to be your own high-level structures (with dedicated constructors) if you like.
- 2024/10/03 (1.91.3) - drags: treat v_min==v_max as a valid clamping range when != 0.0f. Zero is a still special value due to legacy reasons, unless using ImGuiSliderFlags_ClampZeroRange. (#7968, #3361, #76)
- drags: extended behavior of ImGuiSliderFlags_AlwaysClamp to include _ClampZeroRange. It considers v_min==v_max==0.0f as a valid clamping range (aka edits not allowed).
although unlikely, it you wish to only clamp on text input but want v_min==v_max==0.0f to mean unclamped drags, you can use _ClampOnInput instead of _AlwaysClamp. (#7968, #3361, #76)
- 2024/09/10 (1.91.2) - internals: using multiple overlaid ButtonBehavior() with same ID will now have io.ConfigDebugHighlightIdConflicts=true feature emit a warning. (#8030)
it was one of the rare case where using same ID is legal. workarounds: (1) use single ButtonBehavior() call with multiple _MouseButton flags, or (2) surround the calls with PushItemFlag(ImGuiItemFlags_AllowDuplicateId, true); ... PopItemFlag()
- 2024/08/23 (1.91.1) - renamed ImGuiChildFlags_Border to ImGuiChildFlags_Borders for consistency. kept inline redirection flag.
- 2024/08/22 (1.91.1) - moved some functions from ImGuiIO to ImGuiPlatformIO structure:
- io.GetClipboardTextFn -> platform_io.Platform_GetClipboardTextFn + changed 'void* user_data' to 'ImGuiContext* ctx'. Pull your user data from platform_io.ClipboardUserData.
- io.SetClipboardTextFn -> platform_io.Platform_SetClipboardTextFn + same as above line.
- io.PlatformOpenInShellFn -> platform_io.Platform_OpenInShellFn (#7660)
- io.PlatformSetImeDataFn -> platform_io.Platform_SetImeDataFn
- io.PlatformLocaleDecimalPoint -> platform_io.Platform_LocaleDecimalPoint (#7389, #6719, #2278)
- access those via GetPlatformIO() instead of GetIO().
some were introduced very recently and often automatically setup by core library and backends, so for those we are exceptionally not maintaining a legacy redirection symbol.
- commented the old ImageButton() signature obsoleted in 1.89 (~August 2022). As a reminder:
- old ImageButton() before 1.89 used ImTextureId as item id (created issue with e.g. multiple buttons in same scope, transient texture id values, opaque computation of ID)
- new ImageButton() since 1.89 requires an explicit 'const char* str_id'
- old ImageButton() before 1.89 had frame_padding' override argument.
- new ImageButton() since 1.89 always use style.FramePadding, which you can freely override with PushStyleVar()/PopStyleVar().
- 2024/07/25 (1.91.0) - obsoleted GetContentRegionMax(), GetWindowContentRegionMin() and GetWindowContentRegionMax(). (see #7838 on GitHub for more info)
you should never need those functions. you can do everything with GetCursorScreenPos() and GetContentRegionAvail() in a more simple way.
- instead of: GetWindowContentRegionMax().x - GetCursorPos().x
- you can use: GetContentRegionAvail().x
- instead of: GetWindowContentRegionMax().x + GetWindowPos().x
- you can use: GetCursorScreenPos().x + GetContentRegionAvail().x // when called from left edge of window
- instead of: GetContentRegionMax()
- you can use: GetContentRegionAvail() + GetCursorScreenPos() - GetWindowPos() // right edge in local coordinates
- instead of: GetWindowContentRegionMax().x - GetWindowContentRegionMin().x
- you can use: GetContentRegionAvail() // when called from left edge of window
- 2024/07/15 (1.91.0) - renamed ImGuiSelectableFlags_DontClosePopups to ImGuiSelectableFlags_NoAutoClosePopups. (#1379, #1468, #2200, #4936, #5216, #7302, #7573)
(internals: also renamed ImGuiItemFlags_SelectableDontClosePopup into ImGuiItemFlags_AutoClosePopups with inverted behaviors)
- 2024/07/15 (1.91.0) - obsoleted PushButtonRepeat()/PopButtonRepeat() in favor of using new PushItemFlag(ImGuiItemFlags_ButtonRepeat, ...)/PopItemFlag().
- 2024/07/02 (1.91.0) - commented out obsolete ImGuiModFlags (renamed to ImGuiKeyChord in 1.89). (#4921, #456)
- commented out obsolete ImGuiModFlags_XXX values (renamed to ImGuiMod_XXX in 1.89). (#4921, #456)
- ImGuiModFlags_Ctrl -> ImGuiMod_Ctrl, ImGuiModFlags_Shift -> ImGuiMod_Shift etc.
- 2024/07/02 (1.91.0) - IO, IME: renamed platform IME hook and added explicit context for consistency and future-proofness.
- old: io.SetPlatformImeDataFn(ImGuiViewport* viewport, ImGuiPlatformImeData* data);
- new: io.PlatformSetImeDataFn(ImGuiContext* ctx, ImGuiViewport* viewport, ImGuiPlatformImeData* data);
- 2024/06/21 (1.90.9) - BeginChild: added ImGuiChildFlags_NavFlattened as a replacement for the window flag ImGuiWindowFlags_NavFlattened: the feature only ever made sense for BeginChild() anyhow.
- old: BeginChild("Name", size, 0, ImGuiWindowFlags_NavFlattened);
- new: BeginChild("Name", size, ImGuiChildFlags_NavFlattened, 0);
- 2024/06/21 (1.90.9) - io: ClearInputKeys() (first exposed in 1.89.8) doesn't clear mouse data, newly added ClearInputMouse() does.
- 2024/06/20 (1.90.9) - renamed ImGuiDragDropFlags_SourceAutoExpirePayload to ImGuiDragDropFlags_PayloadAutoExpire.
- 2024/06/18 (1.90.9) - style: renamed ImGuiCol_TabActive -> ImGuiCol_TabSelected, ImGuiCol_TabUnfocused -> ImGuiCol_TabDimmed, ImGuiCol_TabUnfocusedActive -> ImGuiCol_TabDimmedSelected.
- 2024/06/10 (1.90.9) - removed old nested structure: renaming ImGuiStorage::ImGuiStoragePair type to ImGuiStoragePair (simpler for many languages).
- 2024/06/06 (1.90.8) - reordered ImGuiInputTextFlags values. This should not be breaking unless you are using generated headers that have values not matching the main library.
- 2024/06/06 (1.90.8) - removed 'ImGuiButtonFlags_MouseButtonDefault_ = ImGuiButtonFlags_MouseButtonLeft', was mostly unused and misleading.
- 2024/05/27 (1.90.7) - commented out obsolete symbols marked obsolete in 1.88 (May 2022):
- old: CaptureKeyboardFromApp(bool)
- new: SetNextFrameWantCaptureKeyboard(bool)
- old: CaptureMouseFromApp(bool)
- new: SetNextFrameWantCaptureMouse(bool)
- 2024/05/22 (1.90.7) - inputs (internals): renamed ImGuiKeyOwner_None to ImGuiKeyOwner_NoOwner, to make use more explicit and reduce confusion with the default it is a non-zero value and cannot be the default value (never made public, but disclosing as I expect a few users caught on owner-aware inputs).
- inputs (internals): renamed ImGuiInputFlags_RouteGlobalLow -> ImGuiInputFlags_RouteGlobal, ImGuiInputFlags_RouteGlobal -> ImGuiInputFlags_RouteGlobalOverFocused, ImGuiInputFlags_RouteGlobalHigh -> ImGuiInputFlags_RouteGlobalHighest.
- inputs (internals): Shortcut(), SetShortcutRouting(): swapped last two parameters order in function signatures:
- old: Shortcut(ImGuiKeyChord key_chord, ImGuiID owner_id = 0, ImGuiInputFlags flags = 0);
- new: Shortcut(ImGuiKeyChord key_chord, ImGuiInputFlags flags = 0, ImGuiID owner_id = 0);
- inputs (internals): owner-aware versions of IsKeyPressed(), IsKeyChordPressed(), IsMouseClicked(): swapped last two parameters order in function signatures.
- old: IsKeyPressed(ImGuiKey key, ImGuiID owner_id, ImGuiInputFlags flags = 0);
- new: IsKeyPressed(ImGuiKey key, ImGuiInputFlags flags, ImGuiID owner_id = 0);
- old: IsMouseClicked(ImGuiMouseButton button, ImGuiID owner_id, ImGuiInputFlags flags = 0);
- new: IsMouseClicked(ImGuiMouseButton button, ImGuiInputFlags flags, ImGuiID owner_id = 0);
for various reasons those changes makes sense. They are being made because making some of those API public.
only past users of imgui_internal.h with the extra parameters will be affected. Added asserts for valid flags in various functions to detect _some_ misuses, BUT NOT ALL.
- 2024/05/16 (1.90.7) - inputs: on macOS X, Cmd and Ctrl keys are now automatically swapped by io.AddKeyEvent() as this naturally align with how macOS X uses those keys.
- it shouldn't really affect you unless you had custom shortcut swapping in place for macOS X apps.
- removed ImGuiMod_Shortcut which was previously dynamically remapping to Ctrl or Cmd/Super. It is now unnecessary to specific cross-platform idiomatic shortcuts. (#2343, #4084, #5923, #456)
- 2024/05/14 (1.90.7) - backends: SDL_Renderer2 and SDL_Renderer3 backend now take a SDL_Renderer* in their RenderDrawData() functions.
- 2024/04/18 (1.90.6) - TreeNode: Fixed a layout inconsistency when using an empty/hidden label followed by a SameLine() call. (#7505, #282)
- old: TreeNode("##Hidden"); SameLine(); Text("Hello"); // <-- This was actually incorrect! BUT appeared to look ok with the default style where ItemSpacing.x == FramePadding.x * 2 (it didn't look aligned otherwise).
- new: TreeNode("##Hidden"); SameLine(0, 0); Text("Hello"); // <-- This is correct for all styles values.
with the fix, IF you were successfully using TreeNode("")+SameLine(); you will now have extra spacing between your TreeNode and the following item.
You'll need to change the SameLine() call to SameLine(0,0) to remove this extraneous spacing. This seemed like the more sensible fix that's not making things less consistent.
(Note: when using this idiom you are likely to also use ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_SpanAvailWidth).
- 2024/03/18 (1.90.5) - merged the radius_x/radius_y parameters in ImDrawList::AddEllipse(), AddEllipseFilled() and PathEllipticalArcTo() into a single ImVec2 parameter. Exceptionally, because those functions were added in 1.90, we are not adding inline redirection functions. The transition is easy and should affect few users. (#2743, #7417)
- 2024/03/08 (1.90.5) - inputs: more formally obsoleted GetKeyIndex() when IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_FUNCTIONS is set. It has been unnecessary and a no-op since 1.87 (it returns the same value as passed when used with a 1.87+ backend using io.AddKeyEvent() function). (#4921)
- IsKeyPressed(GetKeyIndex(ImGuiKey_XXX)) -> use IsKeyPressed(ImGuiKey_XXX)
- 2024/01/15 (1.90.2) - commented out obsolete ImGuiIO::ImeWindowHandle marked obsolete in 1.87, favor of writing to 'void* ImGuiViewport::PlatformHandleRaw'.
- 2023/12/19 (1.90.1) - commented out obsolete ImGuiKey_KeyPadEnter redirection to ImGuiKey_KeypadEnter.
- 2023/11/06 (1.90.1) - removed CalcListClipping() marked obsolete in 1.86. Prefer using ImGuiListClipper which can return non-contiguous ranges.
- 2023/11/05 (1.90.1) - imgui_freetype: commented out ImGuiFreeType::BuildFontAtlas() obsoleted in 1.81. prefer using #define IMGUI_ENABLE_FREETYPE or see commented code for manual calls.
- 2023/11/05 (1.90.1) - internals,columns: commented out legacy ImGuiColumnsFlags_XXX symbols redirecting to ImGuiOldColumnsFlags_XXX, obsoleted from imgui_internal.h in 1.80.
- 2023/11/09 (1.90.0) - removed IM_OFFSETOF() macro in favor of using offsetof() available in C++11. Kept redirection define (will obsolete).
- 2023/11/07 (1.90.0) - removed BeginChildFrame()/EndChildFrame() in favor of using BeginChild() with the ImGuiChildFlags_FrameStyle flag. kept inline redirection function (will obsolete).
those functions were merely PushStyle/PopStyle helpers, the removal isn't so much motivated by needing to add the feature in BeginChild(), but by the necessity to avoid BeginChildFrame() signature mismatching BeginChild() signature and features.
- 2023/11/02 (1.90.0) - BeginChild: upgraded 'bool border = true' parameter to 'ImGuiChildFlags flags' type, added ImGuiChildFlags_Border equivalent. As with our prior "bool-to-flags" API updates, the ImGuiChildFlags_Border value is guaranteed to be == true forever to ensure a smoother transition, meaning all existing calls will still work.
- old: BeginChild("Name", size, true)
- new: BeginChild("Name", size, ImGuiChildFlags_Border)
- old: BeginChild("Name", size, false)
- new: BeginChild("Name", size) or BeginChild("Name", 0) or BeginChild("Name", size, ImGuiChildFlags_None)
**AMEND FROM THE FUTURE: from 1.91.1, 'ImGuiChildFlags_Border' is called 'ImGuiChildFlags_Borders'**
- 2023/11/02 (1.90.0) - BeginChild: added child-flag ImGuiChildFlags_AlwaysUseWindowPadding as a replacement for the window-flag ImGuiWindowFlags_AlwaysUseWindowPadding: the feature only ever made sense for BeginChild() anyhow.
- old: BeginChild("Name", size, 0, ImGuiWindowFlags_AlwaysUseWindowPadding);
- new: BeginChild("Name", size, ImGuiChildFlags_AlwaysUseWindowPadding, 0);
- 2023/09/27 (1.90.0) - io: removed io.MetricsActiveAllocations introduced in 1.63. Same as 'g.DebugMemAllocCount - g.DebugMemFreeCount' (still displayed in Metrics, unlikely to be accessed by end-user).
- 2023/09/26 (1.90.0) - debug tools: Renamed ShowStackToolWindow() ("Stack Tool") to ShowIDStackToolWindow() ("ID Stack Tool"), as earlier name was misleading. Kept inline redirection function. (#4631)
- 2023/09/15 (1.90.0) - ListBox, Combo: changed signature of "name getter" callback in old one-liner ListBox()/Combo() apis. kept inline redirection function (will obsolete).
- old: bool Combo(const char* label, int* current_item, bool (*getter)(void* user_data, int idx, const char** out_text), ...)
- new: bool Combo(const char* label, int* current_item, const char* (*getter)(void* user_data, int idx), ...);
- old: bool ListBox(const char* label, int* current_item, bool (*getting)(void* user_data, int idx, const char** out_text), ...);
- new: bool ListBox(const char* label, int* current_item, const char* (*getter)(void* user_data, int idx), ...);
- 2023/09/08 (1.90.0) - commented out obsolete redirecting functions:
- GetWindowContentRegionWidth() -> use GetWindowContentRegionMax().x - GetWindowContentRegionMin().x. Consider that generally 'GetContentRegionAvail().x' is more useful.
- ImDrawCornerFlags_XXX -> use ImDrawFlags_RoundCornersXXX flags. Read 1.82 Changelog for details + grep commented names in sources.
- commented out runtime support for hardcoded ~0 or 0x01..0x0F rounding flags values for AddRect()/AddRectFilled()/PathRect()/AddImageRounded() -> use ImDrawFlags_RoundCornersXXX flags. Read 1.82 Changelog for details
- 2023/08/25 (1.89.9) - clipper: Renamed IncludeRangeByIndices() (also called ForceDisplayRangeByIndices() before 1.89.6) to IncludeItemsByIndex(). Kept inline redirection function. Sorry!
- 2023/07/12 (1.89.8) - ImDrawData: CmdLists now owned, changed from ImDrawList** to ImVector<ImDrawList*>. Majority of users shouldn't be affected, but you cannot compare to NULL nor reassign manually anymore. Instead use AddDrawList(). (#6406, #4879, #1878)
- 2023/06/28 (1.89.7) - overlapping items: obsoleted 'SetItemAllowOverlap()' (called after item) in favor of calling 'SetNextItemAllowOverlap()' (called before item). 'SetItemAllowOverlap()' didn't and couldn't work reliably since 1.89 (2022-11-15).
- 2023/06/28 (1.89.7) - overlapping items: renamed 'ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_AllowItemOverlap' to 'ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_AllowOverlap', 'ImGuiSelectableFlags_AllowItemOverlap' to 'ImGuiSelectableFlags_AllowOverlap'. Kept redirecting enums (will obsolete).
- 2023/06/28 (1.89.7) - overlapping items: IsItemHovered() now by default return false when querying an item using AllowOverlap mode which is being overlapped. Use ImGuiHoveredFlags_AllowWhenOverlappedByItem to revert to old behavior.
- 2023/06/28 (1.89.7) - overlapping items: Selectable and TreeNode don't allow overlap when active so overlapping widgets won't appear as hovered. While this fixes a common small visual issue, it also means that calling IsItemHovered() after a non-reactive elements - e.g. Text() - overlapping an active one may fail if you don't use IsItemHovered(ImGuiHoveredFlags_AllowWhenBlockedByActiveItem). (#6610)
- 2023/06/20 (1.89.7) - moved io.HoverDelayShort/io.HoverDelayNormal to style.HoverDelayShort/style.HoverDelayNormal. As the fields were added in 1.89 and expected to be left unchanged by most users, or only tweaked once during app initialization, we are exceptionally accepting the breakage.
- 2023/05/30 (1.89.6) - backends: renamed "imgui_impl_sdlrenderer.cpp" to "imgui_impl_sdlrenderer2.cpp" and "imgui_impl_sdlrenderer.h" to "imgui_impl_sdlrenderer2.h". This is in prevision for the future release of SDL3.
- 2023/05/22 (1.89.6) - listbox: commented out obsolete/redirecting functions that were marked obsolete more than two years ago:
- ListBoxHeader() -> use BeginListBox() (note how two variants of ListBoxHeader() existed. Check commented versions in imgui.h for reference)
- ListBoxFooter() -> use EndListBox()
- 2023/05/15 (1.89.6) - clipper: commented out obsolete redirection constructor 'ImGuiListClipper(int items_count, float items_height = -1.0f)' that was marked obsolete in 1.79. Use default constructor + clipper.Begin().
- 2023/05/15 (1.89.6) - clipper: renamed ImGuiListClipper::ForceDisplayRangeByIndices() to ImGuiListClipper::IncludeRangeByIndices().
- 2023/03/14 (1.89.4) - commented out redirecting enums/functions names that were marked obsolete two years ago:
- ImGuiSliderFlags_ClampOnInput -> use ImGuiSliderFlags_AlwaysClamp
- ImGuiInputTextFlags_AlwaysInsertMode -> use ImGuiInputTextFlags_AlwaysOverwrite
- ImDrawList::AddBezierCurve() -> use ImDrawList::AddBezierCubic()
- ImDrawList::PathBezierCurveTo() -> use ImDrawList::PathBezierCubicCurveTo()
- 2023/03/09 (1.89.4) - renamed PushAllowKeyboardFocus()/PopAllowKeyboardFocus() to PushTabStop()/PopTabStop(). Kept inline redirection functions (will obsolete).
- 2023/03/09 (1.89.4) - tooltips: Added 'bool' return value to BeginTooltip() for API consistency. Please only submit contents and call EndTooltip() if BeginTooltip() returns true. In reality the function will _currently_ always return true, but further changes down the line may change this, best to clarify API sooner.
- 2023/02/15 (1.89.4) - moved the optional "courtesy maths operators" implementation from imgui_internal.h in imgui.h.
Even though we encourage using your own maths types and operators by setting up IM_VEC2_CLASS_EXTRA,
it has been frequently requested by people to use our own. We had an opt-in define which was
previously fulfilled in imgui_internal.h. It is now fulfilled in imgui.h. (#6164)
- OK: #define IMGUI_DEFINE_MATH_OPERATORS / #include "imgui.h" / #include "imgui_internal.h"
- Error: #include "imgui.h" / #define IMGUI_DEFINE_MATH_OPERATORS / #include "imgui_internal.h"
- 2023/02/07 (1.89.3) - backends: renamed "imgui_impl_sdl.cpp" to "imgui_impl_sdl2.cpp" and "imgui_impl_sdl.h" to "imgui_impl_sdl2.h". (#6146) This is in prevision for the future release of SDL3.
- 2022/10/26 (1.89) - commented out redirecting OpenPopupContextItem() which was briefly the name of OpenPopupOnItemClick() from 1.77 to 1.79.
- 2022/10/12 (1.89) - removed runtime patching of invalid "%f"/"%0.f" format strings for DragInt()/SliderInt(). This was obsoleted in 1.61 (May 2018). See 1.61 changelog for details.
- 2022/09/26 (1.89) - renamed and merged keyboard modifiers key enums and flags into a same set. Kept inline redirection enums (will obsolete).
- ImGuiKey_ModCtrl and ImGuiModFlags_Ctrl -> ImGuiMod_Ctrl
- ImGuiKey_ModShift and ImGuiModFlags_Shift -> ImGuiMod_Shift
- ImGuiKey_ModAlt and ImGuiModFlags_Alt -> ImGuiMod_Alt
- ImGuiKey_ModSuper and ImGuiModFlags_Super -> ImGuiMod_Super
the ImGuiKey_ModXXX were introduced in 1.87 and mostly used by backends.
the ImGuiModFlags_XXX have been exposed in imgui.h but not really used by any public api only by third-party extensions.
exceptionally commenting out the older ImGuiKeyModFlags_XXX names ahead of obsolescence schedule to reduce confusion and because they were not meant to be used anyway.
- 2022/09/20 (1.89) - ImGuiKey is now a typed enum, allowing ImGuiKey_XXX symbols to be named in debuggers.
this will require uses of legacy backend-dependent indices to be casted, e.g.
- with imgui_impl_glfw: IsKeyPressed(GLFW_KEY_A) -> IsKeyPressed((ImGuiKey)GLFW_KEY_A);
- with imgui_impl_win32: IsKeyPressed('A') -> IsKeyPressed((ImGuiKey)'A')
- etc. However if you are upgrading code you might well use the better, backend-agnostic IsKeyPressed(ImGuiKey_A) now!
- 2022/09/12 (1.89) - removed the bizarre legacy default argument for 'TreePush(const void* ptr = NULL)', always pass a pointer value explicitly. NULL/nullptr is ok but require cast, e.g. TreePush((void*)nullptr);
- 2022/09/05 (1.89) - commented out redirecting functions/enums names that were marked obsolete in 1.77 and 1.78 (June 2020):
- DragScalar(), DragScalarN(), DragFloat(), DragFloat2(), DragFloat3(), DragFloat4(): For old signatures ending with (..., const char* format, float power = 1.0f) -> use (..., format ImGuiSliderFlags_Logarithmic) if power != 1.0f.
- SliderScalar(), SliderScalarN(), SliderFloat(), SliderFloat2(), SliderFloat3(), SliderFloat4(): For old signatures ending with (..., const char* format, float power = 1.0f) -> use (..., format ImGuiSliderFlags_Logarithmic) if power != 1.0f.
- BeginPopupContextWindow(const char*, ImGuiMouseButton, bool) -> use BeginPopupContextWindow(const char*, ImGuiPopupFlags)
- 2022/09/02 (1.89) - obsoleted using SetCursorPos()/SetCursorScreenPos() to extend parent window/cell boundaries.
this relates to when moving the cursor position beyond current boundaries WITHOUT submitting an item.
- previously this would make the window content size ~200x200:
Begin(...) + SetCursorScreenPos(GetCursorScreenPos() + ImVec2(200,200)) + End();
- instead, please submit an item:
Begin(...) + SetCursorScreenPos(GetCursorScreenPos() + ImVec2(200,200)) + Dummy(ImVec2(0,0)) + End();
- alternative:
Begin(...) + Dummy(ImVec2(200,200)) + End();
- content size is now only extended when submitting an item!
- with '#define IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_FUNCTIONS' this will now be detected and assert.
- without '#define IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_FUNCTIONS' this will silently be fixed until we obsolete it.
- 2022/08/03 (1.89) - changed signature of ImageButton() function. Kept redirection function (will obsolete).
- added 'const char* str_id' parameter + removed 'int frame_padding = -1' parameter.
- old signature: bool ImageButton(ImTextureID tex_id, ImVec2 size, ImVec2 uv0 = ImVec2(0,0), ImVec2 uv1 = ImVec2(1,1), int frame_padding = -1, ImVec4 bg_col = ImVec4(0,0,0,0), ImVec4 tint_col = ImVec4(1,1,1,1));
- used the ImTextureID value to create an ID. This was inconsistent with other functions, led to ID conflicts, and caused problems with engines using transient ImTextureID values.
- had a FramePadding override which was inconsistent with other functions and made the already-long signature even longer.
- new signature: bool ImageButton(const char* str_id, ImTextureID tex_id, ImVec2 size, ImVec2 uv0 = ImVec2(0,0), ImVec2 uv1 = ImVec2(1,1), ImVec4 bg_col = ImVec4(0,0,0,0), ImVec4 tint_col = ImVec4(1,1,1,1));
- requires an explicit identifier. You may still use e.g. PushID() calls and then pass an empty identifier.
- always uses style.FramePadding for padding, to be consistent with other buttons. You may use PushStyleVar() to alter this.
- 2022/07/08 (1.89) - inputs: removed io.NavInputs[] and ImGuiNavInput enum (following 1.87 changes).
- Official backends from 1.87+ -> no issue.
- Official backends from 1.60 to 1.86 -> will build and convert gamepad inputs, unless IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_KEYIO is defined. Need updating!
- Custom backends not writing to io.NavInputs[] -> no issue.
- Custom backends writing to io.NavInputs[] -> will build and convert gamepad inputs, unless IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_KEYIO is defined. Need fixing!
- TL;DR: Backends should call io.AddKeyEvent()/io.AddKeyAnalogEvent() with ImGuiKey_GamepadXXX values instead of filling io.NavInput[].
- 2022/06/15 (1.88) - renamed IMGUI_DISABLE_METRICS_WINDOW to IMGUI_DISABLE_DEBUG_TOOLS for correctness. kept support for old define (will obsolete).
- 2022/05/03 (1.88) - backends: osx: removed ImGui_ImplOSX_HandleEvent() from backend API in favor of backend automatically handling event capture. All ImGui_ImplOSX_HandleEvent() calls should be removed as they are now unnecessary.
- 2022/04/05 (1.88) - inputs: renamed ImGuiKeyModFlags to ImGuiModFlags. Kept inline redirection enums (will obsolete). This was never used in public API functions but technically present in imgui.h and ImGuiIO.
- 2022/01/20 (1.87) - inputs: reworded gamepad IO.
- Backend writing to io.NavInputs[] -> backend should call io.AddKeyEvent()/io.AddKeyAnalogEvent() with ImGuiKey_GamepadXXX values.
- 2022/01/19 (1.87) - sliders, drags: removed support for legacy arithmetic operators (+,+-,*,/) when inputting text. This doesn't break any api/code but a feature that used to be accessible by end-users (which seemingly no one used).
- 2022/01/17 (1.87) - inputs: reworked mouse IO.
- Backend writing to io.MousePos -> backend should call io.AddMousePosEvent()
- Backend writing to io.MouseDown[] -> backend should call io.AddMouseButtonEvent()
- Backend writing to io.MouseWheel -> backend should call io.AddMouseWheelEvent()
- Backend writing to io.MouseHoveredViewport -> backend should call io.AddMouseViewportEvent() [Docking branch w/ multi-viewports only]
note: for all calls to IO new functions, the Dear ImGui context should be bound/current.
read https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/4921 for details.
- 2022/01/10 (1.87) - inputs: reworked keyboard IO. Removed io.KeyMap[], io.KeysDown[] in favor of calling io.AddKeyEvent(), ImGui::IsKeyDown(). Removed GetKeyIndex(), now unnecessary. All IsKeyXXX() functions now take ImGuiKey values. All features are still functional until IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_KEYIO is defined. Read Changelog and Release Notes for details.
- IsKeyPressed(MY_NATIVE_KEY_XXX) -> use IsKeyPressed(ImGuiKey_XXX)
- IsKeyPressed(GetKeyIndex(ImGuiKey_XXX)) -> use IsKeyPressed(ImGuiKey_XXX)
- Backend writing to io.KeyMap[],io.KeysDown[] -> backend should call io.AddKeyEvent() (+ call io.SetKeyEventNativeData() if you want legacy user code to still function with legacy key codes).
- Backend writing to io.KeyCtrl, io.KeyShift.. -> backend should call io.AddKeyEvent() with ImGuiMod_XXX values. *IF YOU PULLED CODE BETWEEN 2021/01/10 and 2021/01/27: We used to have a io.AddKeyModsEvent() function which was now replaced by io.AddKeyEvent() with ImGuiMod_XXX values.*
- one case won't work with backward compatibility: if your custom backend used ImGuiKey as mock native indices (e.g. "io.KeyMap[ImGuiKey_A] = ImGuiKey_A") because those values are now larger than the legacy KeyDown[] array. Will assert.
- inputs: added ImGuiKey_ModCtrl/ImGuiKey_ModShift/ImGuiKey_ModAlt/ImGuiKey_ModSuper values to submit keyboard modifiers using io.AddKeyEvent(), instead of writing directly to io.KeyCtrl, io.KeyShift, io.KeyAlt, io.KeySuper.
- 2022/01/05 (1.87) - inputs: renamed ImGuiKey_KeyPadEnter to ImGuiKey_KeypadEnter to align with new symbols. Kept redirection enum.
- 2022/01/05 (1.87) - removed io.ImeSetInputScreenPosFn() in favor of more flexible io.SetPlatformImeDataFn(). Removed 'void* io.ImeWindowHandle' in favor of writing to 'void* ImGuiViewport::PlatformHandleRaw'.
- 2022/01/01 (1.87) - commented out redirecting functions/enums names that were marked obsolete in 1.69, 1.70, 1.71, 1.72 (March-July 2019)
- ImGui::SetNextTreeNodeOpen() -> use ImGui::SetNextItemOpen()
- ImGui::GetContentRegionAvailWidth() -> use ImGui::GetContentRegionAvail().x
- ImGui::TreeAdvanceToLabelPos() -> use ImGui::SetCursorPosX(ImGui::GetCursorPosX() + ImGui::GetTreeNodeToLabelSpacing());
- ImFontAtlas::CustomRect -> use ImFontAtlasCustomRect
- ImGuiColorEditFlags_RGB/HSV/HEX -> use ImGuiColorEditFlags_DisplayRGB/HSV/Hex
- 2021/12/20 (1.86) - backends: removed obsolete Marmalade backend (imgui_impl_marmalade.cpp) + example. Find last supported version at https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Bindings
- 2021/11/04 (1.86) - removed CalcListClipping() function. Prefer using ImGuiListClipper which can return non-contiguous ranges. Please open an issue if you think you really need this function.
- 2021/08/23 (1.85) - removed GetWindowContentRegionWidth() function. keep inline redirection helper. can use 'GetWindowContentRegionMax().x - GetWindowContentRegionMin().x' instead for generally 'GetContentRegionAvail().x' is more useful.
- 2021/07/26 (1.84) - commented out redirecting functions/enums names that were marked obsolete in 1.67 and 1.69 (March 2019):
- ImGui::GetOverlayDrawList() -> use ImGui::GetForegroundDrawList()
- ImFont::GlyphRangesBuilder -> use ImFontGlyphRangesBuilder
- 2021/05/19 (1.83) - backends: obsoleted direct access to ImDrawCmd::TextureId in favor of calling ImDrawCmd::GetTexID().
- if you are using official backends from the source tree: you have nothing to do.
- if you have copied old backend code or using your own: change access to draw_cmd->TextureId to draw_cmd->GetTexID().
- 2021/03/12 (1.82) - upgraded ImDrawList::AddRect(), AddRectFilled(), PathRect() to use ImDrawFlags instead of ImDrawCornersFlags.
- ImDrawCornerFlags_TopLeft -> use ImDrawFlags_RoundCornersTopLeft
- ImDrawCornerFlags_BotRight -> use ImDrawFlags_RoundCornersBottomRight
- ImDrawCornerFlags_None -> use ImDrawFlags_RoundCornersNone etc.
flags now sanely defaults to 0 instead of 0x0F, consistent with all other flags in the API.
breaking: the default with rounding > 0.0f is now "round all corners" vs old implicit "round no corners":
- rounding == 0.0f + flags == 0 --> meant no rounding --> unchanged (common use)
- rounding > 0.0f + flags != 0 --> meant rounding --> unchanged (common use)
- rounding == 0.0f + flags != 0 --> meant no rounding --> unchanged (unlikely use)
- rounding > 0.0f + flags == 0 --> meant no rounding --> BREAKING (unlikely use): will now round all corners --> use ImDrawFlags_RoundCornersNone or rounding == 0.0f.
this ONLY matters for hard coded use of 0 + rounding > 0.0f. Use of named ImDrawFlags_RoundCornersNone (new) or ImDrawCornerFlags_None (old) are ok.
the old ImDrawCornersFlags used awkward default values of ~0 or 0xF (4 lower bits set) to signify "round all corners" and we sometimes encouraged using them as shortcuts.
legacy path still support use of hard coded ~0 or any value from 0x1 or 0xF. They will behave the same with legacy paths enabled (will assert otherwise).
- 2021/03/11 (1.82) - removed redirecting functions/enums names that were marked obsolete in 1.66 (September 2018):
- ImGui::SetScrollHere() -> use ImGui::SetScrollHereY()
- 2021/03/11 (1.82) - clarified that ImDrawList::PathArcTo(), ImDrawList::PathArcToFast() won't render with radius < 0.0f. Previously it sorts of accidentally worked but would generally lead to counter-clockwise paths and have an effect on anti-aliasing.
- 2021/03/10 (1.82) - upgraded ImDrawList::AddPolyline() and PathStroke() "bool closed" parameter to "ImDrawFlags flags". The matching ImDrawFlags_Closed value is guaranteed to always stay == 1 in the future.
- 2021/02/22 (1.82) - (*undone in 1.84*) win32+mingw: Re-enabled IME functions by default even under MinGW. In July 2016, issue #738 had me incorrectly disable those default functions for MinGW. MinGW users should: either link with -limm32, either set their imconfig file with '#define IMGUI_DISABLE_WIN32_DEFAULT_IME_FUNCTIONS'.
- 2021/02/17 (1.82) - renamed rarely used style.CircleSegmentMaxError (old default = 1.60f) to style.CircleTessellationMaxError (new default = 0.30f) as the meaning of the value changed.
- 2021/02/03 (1.81) - renamed ListBoxHeader(const char* label, ImVec2 size) to BeginListBox(). Kept inline redirection function (will obsolete).
- removed ListBoxHeader(const char* label, int items_count, int height_in_items = -1) in favor of specifying size. Kept inline redirection function (will obsolete).
- renamed ListBoxFooter() to EndListBox(). Kept inline redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2021/01/26 (1.81) - removed ImGuiFreeType::BuildFontAtlas(). Kept inline redirection function. Prefer using '#define IMGUI_ENABLE_FREETYPE', but there's a runtime selection path available too. The shared extra flags parameters (very rarely used) are now stored in ImFontAtlas::FontBuilderFlags.
- renamed ImFontConfig::RasterizerFlags (used by FreeType) to ImFontConfig::FontBuilderFlags.
- renamed ImGuiFreeType::XXX flags to ImGuiFreeTypeBuilderFlags_XXX for consistency with other API.
- 2020/10/12 (1.80) - removed redirecting functions/enums that were marked obsolete in 1.63 (August 2018):
- ImGui::IsItemDeactivatedAfterChange() -> use ImGui::IsItemDeactivatedAfterEdit().
- ImGuiCol_ModalWindowDarkening -> use ImGuiCol_ModalWindowDimBg
- ImGuiInputTextCallback -> use ImGuiTextEditCallback
- ImGuiInputTextCallbackData -> use ImGuiTextEditCallbackData
- 2020/12/21 (1.80) - renamed ImDrawList::AddBezierCurve() to AddBezierCubic(), and PathBezierCurveTo() to PathBezierCubicCurveTo(). Kept inline redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2020/12/04 (1.80) - added imgui_tables.cpp file! Manually constructed project files will need the new file added!
- 2020/11/18 (1.80) - renamed undocumented/internals ImGuiColumnsFlags_* to ImGuiOldColumnFlags_* in prevision of incoming Tables API.
- 2020/11/03 (1.80) - renamed io.ConfigWindowsMemoryCompactTimer to io.ConfigMemoryCompactTimer as the feature will apply to other data structures
- 2020/10/14 (1.80) - backends: moved all backends files (imgui_impl_XXXX.cpp, imgui_impl_XXXX.h) from examples/ to backends/.
- 2020/10/12 (1.80) - removed redirecting functions/enums that were marked obsolete in 1.60 (April 2018):
- io.RenderDrawListsFn pointer -> use ImGui::GetDrawData() value and call the render function of your backend
- ImGui::IsAnyWindowFocused() -> use ImGui::IsWindowFocused(ImGuiFocusedFlags_AnyWindow)
- ImGui::IsAnyWindowHovered() -> use ImGui::IsWindowHovered(ImGuiHoveredFlags_AnyWindow)
- ImGuiStyleVar_Count_ -> use ImGuiStyleVar_COUNT
- ImGuiMouseCursor_Count_ -> use ImGuiMouseCursor_COUNT
- removed redirecting functions names that were marked obsolete in 1.61 (May 2018):
- InputFloat (... int decimal_precision ...) -> use InputFloat (... const char* format ...) with format = "%.Xf" where X is your value for decimal_precision.
- same for InputFloat2()/InputFloat3()/InputFloat4() variants taking a `int decimal_precision` parameter.
- 2020/10/05 (1.79) - removed ImGuiListClipper: Renamed constructor parameters which created an ambiguous alternative to using the ImGuiListClipper::Begin() function, with misleading edge cases (note: imgui_memory_editor <0.40 from imgui_club/ used this old clipper API. Update your copy if needed).
- 2020/09/25 (1.79) - renamed ImGuiSliderFlags_ClampOnInput to ImGuiSliderFlags_AlwaysClamp. Kept redirection enum (will obsolete sooner because previous name was added recently).
- 2020/09/25 (1.79) - renamed style.TabMinWidthForUnselectedCloseButton to style.TabMinWidthForCloseButton.
- 2020/09/21 (1.79) - renamed OpenPopupContextItem() back to OpenPopupOnItemClick(), reverting the change from 1.77. For varieties of reason this is more self-explanatory.
- 2020/09/21 (1.79) - removed return value from OpenPopupOnItemClick() - returned true on mouse release on an item - because it is inconsistent with other popup APIs and makes others misleading. It's also and unnecessary: you can use IsWindowAppearing() after BeginPopup() for a similar result.
- 2020/09/17 (1.79) - removed ImFont::DisplayOffset in favor of ImFontConfig::GlyphOffset. DisplayOffset was applied after scaling and not very meaningful/useful outside of being needed by the default ProggyClean font. If you scaled this value after calling AddFontDefault(), this is now done automatically. It was also getting in the way of better font scaling, so let's get rid of it now!
- 2020/08/17 (1.78) - obsoleted use of the trailing 'float power=1.0f' parameter for DragFloat(), DragFloat2(), DragFloat3(), DragFloat4(), DragFloatRange2(), DragScalar(), DragScalarN(), SliderFloat(), SliderFloat2(), SliderFloat3(), SliderFloat4(), SliderScalar(), SliderScalarN(), VSliderFloat() and VSliderScalar().
replaced the 'float power=1.0f' argument with integer-based flags defaulting to 0 (as with all our flags).
worked out a backward-compatibility scheme so hopefully most C++ codebase should not be affected. in short, when calling those functions:
- if you omitted the 'power' parameter (likely!), you are not affected.
- if you set the 'power' parameter to 1.0f (same as previous default value): 1/ your compiler may warn on float>int conversion, 2/ everything else will work. 3/ you can replace the 1.0f value with 0 to fix the warning, and be technically correct.
- if you set the 'power' parameter to >1.0f (to enable non-linear editing): 1/ your compiler may warn on float>int conversion, 2/ code will assert at runtime, 3/ in case asserts are disabled, the code will not crash and enable the _Logarithmic flag. 4/ you can replace the >1.0f value with ImGuiSliderFlags_Logarithmic to fix the warning/assert and get a _similar_ effect as previous uses of power >1.0f.
see https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/3361 for all details.
kept inline redirection functions (will obsolete) apart for: DragFloatRange2(), VSliderFloat(), VSliderScalar(). For those three the 'float power=1.0f' version was removed directly as they were most unlikely ever used.
for shared code, you can version check at compile-time with `#if IMGUI_VERSION_NUM >= 17704`.
- obsoleted use of v_min > v_max in DragInt, DragFloat, DragScalar to lock edits (introduced in 1.73, was not demoed nor documented very), will be replaced by a more generic ReadOnly feature. You may use the ImGuiSliderFlags_ReadOnly internal flag in the meantime.
- 2020/06/23 (1.77) - removed BeginPopupContextWindow(const char*, int mouse_button, bool also_over_items) in favor of BeginPopupContextWindow(const char*, ImGuiPopupFlags flags) with ImGuiPopupFlags_NoOverItems.
- 2020/06/15 (1.77) - renamed OpenPopupOnItemClick() to OpenPopupContextItem(). Kept inline redirection function (will obsolete). [NOTE: THIS WAS REVERTED IN 1.79]
- 2020/06/15 (1.77) - removed CalcItemRectClosestPoint() entry point which was made obsolete and asserting in December 2017.
- 2020/04/23 (1.77) - removed unnecessary ID (first arg) of ImFontAtlas::AddCustomRectRegular().
- 2020/01/22 (1.75) - ImDrawList::AddCircle()/AddCircleFilled() functions don't accept negative radius any more.
- 2019/12/17 (1.75) - [undid this change in 1.76] made Columns() limited to 64 columns by asserting above that limit. While the current code technically supports it, future code may not so we're putting the restriction ahead.
- 2019/12/13 (1.75) - [imgui_internal.h] changed ImRect() default constructor initializes all fields to 0.0f instead of (FLT_MAX,FLT_MAX,-FLT_MAX,-FLT_MAX). If you used ImRect::Add() to create bounding boxes by adding multiple points into it, you may need to fix your initial value.
- 2019/12/08 (1.75) - removed redirecting functions/enums that were marked obsolete in 1.53 (December 2017):
- ShowTestWindow() -> use ShowDemoWindow()
- IsRootWindowFocused() -> use IsWindowFocused(ImGuiFocusedFlags_RootWindow)
- IsRootWindowOrAnyChildFocused() -> use IsWindowFocused(ImGuiFocusedFlags_RootAndChildWindows)
- SetNextWindowContentWidth(w) -> use SetNextWindowContentSize(ImVec2(w, 0.0f))
- GetItemsLineHeightWithSpacing() -> use GetFrameHeightWithSpacing()
- ImGuiCol_ChildWindowBg -> use ImGuiCol_ChildBg
- ImGuiStyleVar_ChildWindowRounding -> use ImGuiStyleVar_ChildRounding
- ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_AllowOverlapMode -> use ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_AllowItemOverlap
- IMGUI_DISABLE_TEST_WINDOWS -> use IMGUI_DISABLE_DEMO_WINDOWS
- 2019/12/08 (1.75) - obsoleted calling ImDrawList::PrimReserve() with a negative count (which was vaguely documented and rarely if ever used). Instead, we added an explicit PrimUnreserve() API.
- 2019/12/06 (1.75) - removed implicit default parameter to IsMouseDragging(int button = 0) to be consistent with other mouse functions (none of the other functions have it).
- 2019/11/21 (1.74) - ImFontAtlas::AddCustomRectRegular() now requires an ID larger than 0x110000 (instead of 0x10000) to conform with supporting Unicode planes 1-16 in a future update. ID below 0x110000 will now assert.
- 2019/11/19 (1.74) - renamed IMGUI_DISABLE_FORMAT_STRING_FUNCTIONS to IMGUI_DISABLE_DEFAULT_FORMAT_FUNCTIONS for consistency.
- 2019/11/19 (1.74) - renamed IMGUI_DISABLE_MATH_FUNCTIONS to IMGUI_DISABLE_DEFAULT_MATH_FUNCTIONS for consistency.
- 2019/10/22 (1.74) - removed redirecting functions/enums that were marked obsolete in 1.52 (October 2017):
- Begin() [old 5 args version] -> use Begin() [3 args], use SetNextWindowSize() SetNextWindowBgAlpha() if needed
- IsRootWindowOrAnyChildHovered() -> use IsWindowHovered(ImGuiHoveredFlags_RootAndChildWindows)
- AlignFirstTextHeightToWidgets() -> use AlignTextToFramePadding()
- SetNextWindowPosCenter() -> use SetNextWindowPos() with a pivot of (0.5f, 0.5f)
- ImFont::Glyph -> use ImFontGlyph
- 2019/10/14 (1.74) - inputs: Fixed a miscalculation in the keyboard/mouse "typematic" repeat delay/rate calculation, used by keys and e.g. repeating mouse buttons as well as the GetKeyPressedAmount() function.
if you were using a non-default value for io.KeyRepeatRate (previous default was 0.250), you can add +io.KeyRepeatDelay to it to compensate for the fix.
The function was triggering on: 0.0 and (delay+rate*N) where (N>=1). Fixed formula responds to (N>=0). Effectively it made io.KeyRepeatRate behave like it was set to (io.KeyRepeatRate + io.KeyRepeatDelay).
If you never altered io.KeyRepeatRate nor used GetKeyPressedAmount() this won't affect you.
- 2019/07/15 (1.72) - removed TreeAdvanceToLabelPos() which is rarely used and only does SetCursorPosX(GetCursorPosX() + GetTreeNodeToLabelSpacing()). Kept redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2019/07/12 (1.72) - renamed ImFontAtlas::CustomRect to ImFontAtlasCustomRect. Kept redirection typedef (will obsolete).
- 2019/06/14 (1.72) - removed redirecting functions/enums names that were marked obsolete in 1.51 (June 2017): ImGuiCol_Column*, ImGuiSetCond_*, IsItemHoveredRect(), IsPosHoveringAnyWindow(), IsMouseHoveringAnyWindow(), IsMouseHoveringWindow(), IMGUI_ONCE_UPON_A_FRAME. Grep this log for details and new names, or see how they were implemented until 1.71.
- 2019/06/07 (1.71) - rendering of child window outer decorations (bg color, border, scrollbars) is now performed as part of the parent window. If you have
overlapping child windows in a same parent, and relied on their relative z-order to be mapped to their submission order, this will affect your rendering.
This optimization is disabled if the parent window has no visual output, because it appears to be the most common situation leading to the creation of overlapping child windows.
Please reach out if you are affected.
- 2019/05/13 (1.71) - renamed SetNextTreeNodeOpen() to SetNextItemOpen(). Kept inline redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2019/05/11 (1.71) - changed io.AddInputCharacter(unsigned short c) signature to io.AddInputCharacter(unsigned int c).
- 2019/04/29 (1.70) - improved ImDrawList thick strokes (>1.0f) preserving correct thickness up to 90 degrees angles (e.g. rectangles). If you have custom rendering using thick lines, they will appear thicker now.
- 2019/04/29 (1.70) - removed GetContentRegionAvailWidth(), use GetContentRegionAvail().x instead. Kept inline redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2019/03/04 (1.69) - renamed GetOverlayDrawList() to GetForegroundDrawList(). Kept redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2019/02/26 (1.69) - renamed ImGuiColorEditFlags_RGB/ImGuiColorEditFlags_HSV/ImGuiColorEditFlags_HEX to ImGuiColorEditFlags_DisplayRGB/ImGuiColorEditFlags_DisplayHSV/ImGuiColorEditFlags_DisplayHex. Kept redirection enums (will obsolete).
- 2019/02/14 (1.68) - made it illegal/assert when io.DisplayTime == 0.0f (with an exception for the first frame). If for some reason your time step calculation gives you a zero value, replace it with an arbitrarily small value!
- 2019/02/01 (1.68) - removed io.DisplayVisibleMin/DisplayVisibleMax (which were marked obsolete and removed from viewport/docking branch already).
- 2019/01/06 (1.67) - renamed io.InputCharacters[], marked internal as was always intended. Please don't access directly, and use AddInputCharacter() instead!
- 2019/01/06 (1.67) - renamed ImFontAtlas::GlyphRangesBuilder to ImFontGlyphRangesBuilder. Kept redirection typedef (will obsolete).
- 2018/12/20 (1.67) - made it illegal to call Begin("") with an empty string. This somehow half-worked before but had various undesirable side-effects.
- 2018/12/10 (1.67) - renamed io.ConfigResizeWindowsFromEdges to io.ConfigWindowsResizeFromEdges as we are doing a large pass on configuration flags.
- 2018/10/12 (1.66) - renamed misc/stl/imgui_stl.* to misc/cpp/imgui_stdlib.* in prevision for other C++ helper files.
- 2018/09/28 (1.66) - renamed SetScrollHere() to SetScrollHereY(). Kept redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2018/09/06 (1.65) - renamed stb_truetype.h to imstb_truetype.h, stb_textedit.h to imstb_textedit.h, and stb_rect_pack.h to imstb_rectpack.h.
If you were conveniently using the imgui copy of those STB headers in your project you will have to update your include paths.
- 2018/09/05 (1.65) - renamed io.OptCursorBlink/io.ConfigCursorBlink to io.ConfigInputTextCursorBlink. (#1427)
- 2018/08/31 (1.64) - added imgui_widgets.cpp file, extracted and moved widgets code out of imgui.cpp into imgui_widgets.cpp. Re-ordered some of the code remaining in imgui.cpp.
NONE OF THE FUNCTIONS HAVE CHANGED. THE CODE IS SEMANTICALLY 100% IDENTICAL, BUT _EVERY_ FUNCTION HAS BEEN MOVED.
Because of this, any local modifications to imgui.cpp will likely conflict when you update. Read docs/CHANGELOG.txt for suggestions.
- 2018/08/22 (1.63) - renamed IsItemDeactivatedAfterChange() to IsItemDeactivatedAfterEdit() for consistency with new IsItemEdited() API. Kept redirection function (will obsolete soonish as IsItemDeactivatedAfterChange() is very recent).
- 2018/08/21 (1.63) - renamed ImGuiTextEditCallback to ImGuiInputTextCallback, ImGuiTextEditCallbackData to ImGuiInputTextCallbackData for consistency. Kept redirection types (will obsolete).
- 2018/08/21 (1.63) - removed ImGuiInputTextCallbackData::ReadOnly since it is a duplication of (ImGuiInputTextCallbackData::Flags & ImGuiInputTextFlags_ReadOnly).
- 2018/08/01 (1.63) - removed per-window ImGuiWindowFlags_ResizeFromAnySide beta flag in favor of a global io.ConfigResizeWindowsFromEdges [update 1.67 renamed to ConfigWindowsResizeFromEdges] to enable the feature.
- 2018/08/01 (1.63) - renamed io.OptCursorBlink to io.ConfigCursorBlink [-> io.ConfigInputTextCursorBlink in 1.65], io.OptMacOSXBehaviors to ConfigMacOSXBehaviors for consistency.
- 2018/07/22 (1.63) - changed ImGui::GetTime() return value from float to double to avoid accumulating floating point imprecisions over time.
- 2018/07/08 (1.63) - style: renamed ImGuiCol_ModalWindowDarkening to ImGuiCol_ModalWindowDimBg for consistency with other features. Kept redirection enum (will obsolete).
- 2018/06/08 (1.62) - examples: the imgui_impl_XXX files have been split to separate platform (Win32, GLFW, SDL2, etc.) from renderer (DX11, OpenGL, Vulkan, etc.).
old backends will still work as is, however prefer using the separated backends as they will be updated to support multi-viewports.
when adopting new backends follow the main.cpp code of your preferred examples/ folder to know which functions to call.
in particular, note that old backends called ImGui::NewFrame() at the end of their ImGui_ImplXXXX_NewFrame() function.
- 2018/06/06 (1.62) - renamed GetGlyphRangesChinese() to GetGlyphRangesChineseFull() to distinguish other variants and discourage using the full set.
- 2018/06/06 (1.62) - TreeNodeEx()/TreeNodeBehavior(): the ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_CollapsingHeader helper now include the ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_NoTreePushOnOpen flag. See Changelog for details.
- 2018/05/03 (1.61) - DragInt(): the default compile-time format string has been changed from "%.0f" to "%d", as we are not using integers internally any more.
If you used DragInt() with custom format strings, make sure you change them to use %d or an integer-compatible format.
To honor backward-compatibility, the DragInt() code will currently parse and modify format strings to replace %*f with %d, giving time to users to upgrade their code.
If you have IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_FUNCTIONS enabled, the code will instead assert! You may run a reg-exp search on your codebase for e.g. "DragInt.*%f" to help you find them.
- 2018/04/28 (1.61) - obsoleted InputFloat() functions taking an optional "int decimal_precision" in favor of an equivalent and more flexible "const char* format",
consistent with other functions. Kept redirection functions (will obsolete).
- 2018/04/09 (1.61) - IM_DELETE() helper function added in 1.60 doesn't clear the input _pointer_ reference, more consistent with expectation and allows passing r-value.
- 2018/03/20 (1.60) - renamed io.WantMoveMouse to io.WantSetMousePos for consistency and ease of understanding (was added in 1.52, _not_ used by core and only honored by some backend ahead of merging the Nav branch).
- 2018/03/12 (1.60) - removed ImGuiCol_CloseButton, ImGuiCol_CloseButtonActive, ImGuiCol_CloseButtonHovered as the closing cross uses regular button colors now.
- 2018/03/08 (1.60) - changed ImFont::DisplayOffset.y to default to 0 instead of +1. Fixed rounding of Ascent/Descent to match TrueType renderer. If you were adding or subtracting to ImFont::DisplayOffset check if your fonts are correctly aligned vertically.
- 2018/03/03 (1.60) - renamed ImGuiStyleVar_Count_ to ImGuiStyleVar_COUNT and ImGuiMouseCursor_Count_ to ImGuiMouseCursor_COUNT for consistency with other public enums.
- 2018/02/18 (1.60) - BeginDragDropSource(): temporarily removed the optional mouse_button=0 parameter because it is not really usable in many situations at the moment.
- 2018/02/16 (1.60) - obsoleted the io.RenderDrawListsFn callback, you can call your graphics engine render function after ImGui::Render(). Use ImGui::GetDrawData() to retrieve the ImDrawData* to display.
- 2018/02/07 (1.60) - reorganized context handling to be more explicit,
- YOU NOW NEED TO CALL ImGui::CreateContext() AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR APP, AND CALL ImGui::DestroyContext() AT THE END.
- removed Shutdown() function, as DestroyContext() serve this purpose.
- you may pass a ImFontAtlas* pointer to CreateContext() to share a font atlas between contexts. Otherwise CreateContext() will create its own font atlas instance.
- removed allocator parameters from CreateContext(), they are now setup with SetAllocatorFunctions(), and shared by all contexts.
- removed the default global context and font atlas instance, which were confusing for users of DLL reloading and users of multiple contexts.
- 2018/01/31 (1.60) - moved sample TTF files from extra_fonts/ to misc/fonts/. If you loaded files directly from the imgui repo you may need to update your paths.
- 2018/01/11 (1.60) - obsoleted IsAnyWindowHovered() in favor of IsWindowHovered(ImGuiHoveredFlags_AnyWindow). Kept redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2018/01/11 (1.60) - obsoleted IsAnyWindowFocused() in favor of IsWindowFocused(ImGuiFocusedFlags_AnyWindow). Kept redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2018/01/03 (1.60) - renamed ImGuiSizeConstraintCallback to ImGuiSizeCallback, ImGuiSizeConstraintCallbackData to ImGuiSizeCallbackData.
- 2017/12/29 (1.60) - removed CalcItemRectClosestPoint() which was weird and not really used by anyone except demo code. If you need it it's easy to replicate on your side.
- 2017/12/24 (1.53) - renamed the emblematic ShowTestWindow() function to ShowDemoWindow(). Kept redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2017/12/21 (1.53) - ImDrawList: renamed style.AntiAliasedShapes to style.AntiAliasedFill for consistency and as a way to explicitly break code that manipulate those flag at runtime. You can now manipulate ImDrawList::Flags
- 2017/12/21 (1.53) - ImDrawList: removed 'bool anti_aliased = true' final parameter of ImDrawList::AddPolyline() and ImDrawList::AddConvexPolyFilled(). Prefer manipulating ImDrawList::Flags if you need to toggle them during the frame.
- 2017/12/14 (1.53) - using the ImGuiWindowFlags_NoScrollWithMouse flag on a child window forwards the mouse wheel event to the parent window, unless either ImGuiWindowFlags_NoInputs or ImGuiWindowFlags_NoScrollbar are also set.
- 2017/12/13 (1.53) - renamed GetItemsLineHeightWithSpacing() to GetFrameHeightWithSpacing(). Kept redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2017/12/13 (1.53) - obsoleted IsRootWindowFocused() in favor of using IsWindowFocused(ImGuiFocusedFlags_RootWindow). Kept redirection function (will obsolete).
- obsoleted IsRootWindowOrAnyChildFocused() in favor of using IsWindowFocused(ImGuiFocusedFlags_RootAndChildWindows). Kept redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2017/12/12 (1.53) - renamed ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_AllowOverlapMode to ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_AllowItemOverlap. Kept redirection enum (will obsolete).
- 2017/12/10 (1.53) - removed SetNextWindowContentWidth(), prefer using SetNextWindowContentSize(). Kept redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2017/11/27 (1.53) - renamed ImGuiTextBuffer::append() helper to appendf(), appendv() to appendfv(). If you copied the 'Log' demo in your code, it uses appendv() so that needs to be renamed.
- 2017/11/18 (1.53) - Style, Begin: removed ImGuiWindowFlags_ShowBorders window flag. Borders are now fully set up in the ImGuiStyle structure (see e.g. style.FrameBorderSize, style.WindowBorderSize). Use ImGui::ShowStyleEditor() to look them up.
Please note that the style system will keep evolving (hopefully stabilizing in Q1 2018), and so custom styles will probably subtly break over time. It is recommended you use the StyleColorsClassic(), StyleColorsDark(), StyleColorsLight() functions.
- 2017/11/18 (1.53) - Style: removed ImGuiCol_ComboBg in favor of combo boxes using ImGuiCol_PopupBg for consistency.
- 2017/11/18 (1.53) - Style: renamed ImGuiCol_ChildWindowBg to ImGuiCol_ChildBg.
- 2017/11/18 (1.53) - Style: renamed style.ChildWindowRounding to style.ChildRounding, ImGuiStyleVar_ChildWindowRounding to ImGuiStyleVar_ChildRounding.
- 2017/11/02 (1.53) - obsoleted IsRootWindowOrAnyChildHovered() in favor of using IsWindowHovered(ImGuiHoveredFlags_RootAndChildWindows);
- 2017/10/24 (1.52) - renamed IMGUI_DISABLE_WIN32_DEFAULT_CLIPBOARD_FUNCS/IMGUI_DISABLE_WIN32_DEFAULT_IME_FUNCS to IMGUI_DISABLE_WIN32_DEFAULT_CLIPBOARD_FUNCTIONS/IMGUI_DISABLE_WIN32_DEFAULT_IME_FUNCTIONS for consistency.
- 2017/10/20 (1.52) - changed IsWindowHovered() default parameters behavior to return false if an item is active in another window (e.g. click-dragging item from another window to this window). You can use the newly introduced IsWindowHovered() flags to requests this specific behavior if you need it.
- 2017/10/20 (1.52) - marked IsItemHoveredRect()/IsMouseHoveringWindow() as obsolete, in favor of using the newly introduced flags for IsItemHovered() and IsWindowHovered(). See https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/1382 for details.
removed the IsItemRectHovered()/IsWindowRectHovered() names introduced in 1.51 since they were merely more consistent names for the two functions we are now obsoleting.
IsItemHoveredRect() --> IsItemHovered(ImGuiHoveredFlags_RectOnly)
IsMouseHoveringAnyWindow() --> IsWindowHovered(ImGuiHoveredFlags_AnyWindow)
IsMouseHoveringWindow() --> IsWindowHovered(ImGuiHoveredFlags_AllowWhenBlockedByPopup | ImGuiHoveredFlags_AllowWhenBlockedByActiveItem) [weird, old behavior]
- 2017/10/17 (1.52) - marked the old 5-parameters version of Begin() as obsolete (still available). Use SetNextWindowSize()+Begin() instead!
- 2017/10/11 (1.52) - renamed AlignFirstTextHeightToWidgets() to AlignTextToFramePadding(). Kept inline redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2017/09/26 (1.52) - renamed ImFont::Glyph to ImFontGlyph. Kept redirection typedef (will obsolete).
- 2017/09/25 (1.52) - removed SetNextWindowPosCenter() because SetNextWindowPos() now has the optional pivot information to do the same and more. Kept redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2017/08/25 (1.52) - io.MousePos needs to be set to ImVec2(-FLT_MAX,-FLT_MAX) when mouse is unavailable/missing. Previously ImVec2(-1,-1) was enough but we now accept negative mouse coordinates. In your backend if you need to support unavailable mouse, make sure to replace "io.MousePos = ImVec2(-1,-1)" with "io.MousePos = ImVec2(-FLT_MAX,-FLT_MAX)".
- 2017/08/22 (1.51) - renamed IsItemHoveredRect() to IsItemRectHovered(). Kept inline redirection function (will obsolete). -> (1.52) use IsItemHovered(ImGuiHoveredFlags_RectOnly)!
- renamed IsMouseHoveringAnyWindow() to IsAnyWindowHovered() for consistency. Kept inline redirection function (will obsolete).
- renamed IsMouseHoveringWindow() to IsWindowRectHovered() for consistency. Kept inline redirection function (will obsolete).
- 2017/08/20 (1.51) - renamed GetStyleColName() to GetStyleColorName() for consistency.
- 2017/08/20 (1.51) - added PushStyleColor(ImGuiCol idx, ImU32 col) overload, which _might_ cause an "ambiguous call" compilation error if you are using ImColor() with implicit cast. Cast to ImU32 or ImVec4 explicitly to fix.
- 2017/08/15 (1.51) - marked the weird IMGUI_ONCE_UPON_A_FRAME helper macro as obsolete. prefer using the more explicit ImGuiOnceUponAFrame type.
- 2017/08/15 (1.51) - changed parameter order for BeginPopupContextWindow() from (const char*,int buttons,bool also_over_items) to (const char*,int buttons,bool also_over_items). Note that most calls relied on default parameters completely.
- 2017/08/13 (1.51) - renamed ImGuiCol_Column to ImGuiCol_Separator, ImGuiCol_ColumnHovered to ImGuiCol_SeparatorHovered, ImGuiCol_ColumnActive to ImGuiCol_SeparatorActive. Kept redirection enums (will obsolete).
- 2017/08/11 (1.51) - renamed ImGuiSetCond_Always to ImGuiCond_Always, ImGuiSetCond_Once to ImGuiCond_Once, ImGuiSetCond_FirstUseEver to ImGuiCond_FirstUseEver, ImGuiSetCond_Appearing to ImGuiCond_Appearing. Kept redirection enums (will obsolete).
- 2017/08/09 (1.51) - removed ValueColor() helpers, they are equivalent to calling Text(label) + SameLine() + ColorButton().
- 2017/08/08 (1.51) - removed ColorEditMode() and ImGuiColorEditMode in favor of ImGuiColorEditFlags and parameters to the various Color*() functions. The SetColorEditOptions() allows to initialize default but the user can still change them with right-click context menu.
- changed prototype of 'ColorEdit4(const char* label, float col[4], bool show_alpha = true)' to 'ColorEdit4(const char* label, float col[4], ImGuiColorEditFlags flags = 0)', where passing flags = 0x01 is a safe no-op (hello dodgy backward compatibility!). - check and run the demo window, under "Color/Picker Widgets", to understand the various new options.
- changed prototype of rarely used 'ColorButton(ImVec4 col, bool small_height = false, bool outline_border = true)' to 'ColorButton(const char* desc_id, ImVec4 col, ImGuiColorEditFlags flags = 0, ImVec2 size = ImVec2(0, 0))'
- 2017/07/20 (1.51) - removed IsPosHoveringAnyWindow(ImVec2), which was partly broken and misleading. ASSERT + redirect user to io.WantCaptureMouse
- 2017/05/26 (1.50) - removed ImFontConfig::MergeGlyphCenterV in favor of a more multipurpose ImFontConfig::GlyphOffset.
- 2017/05/01 (1.50) - renamed ImDrawList::PathFill() (rarely used directly) to ImDrawList::PathFillConvex() for clarity.
- 2016/11/06 (1.50) - BeginChild(const char*) now applies the stack id to the provided label, consistently with other functions as it should always have been. It shouldn't affect you unless (extremely unlikely) you were appending multiple times to a same child from different locations of the stack id. If that's the case, generate an id with GetID() and use it instead of passing string to BeginChild().
- 2016/10/15 (1.50) - avoid 'void* user_data' parameter to io.SetClipboardTextFn/io.GetClipboardTextFn pointers. We pass io.ClipboardUserData to it.
- 2016/09/25 (1.50) - style.WindowTitleAlign is now a ImVec2 (ImGuiAlign enum was removed). set to (0.5f,0.5f) for horizontal+vertical centering, (0.0f,0.0f) for upper-left, etc.
- 2016/07/30 (1.50) - SameLine(x) with x>0.0f is now relative to left of column/group if any, and not always to left of window. This was sort of always the intent and hopefully, breakage should be minimal.
