Add ImGuizmo and ImGuiPlot to Nuget

[Pastor111]

Can you add ImGuizmo and ImGuiPlot to the Nuget version or show a tutorial of how to add them?

[Kayzaks]

For now, you can simply:

1. clone TillAlex's Branch of ImGui.NET-nativebuild and build that. This will give you all 4 DLL's (cimgui, cimplot, cimnodes, cimgizmos) for your project.

2. Reference the ImPlot.NET/ImGuizmo.NET projects in your project and be sure to put the cimgui.dll/... where your exectuable will find them.

3. An Example for ImPlot.NET:

using ImGuiNET;
using ImPlotNET;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

// More code

IntPtr context = ImGui.CreateContext();
IntPtr implotContext = ImPlot.CreateContext(); 
ImPlot.SetCurrentContext(implotContext); 
ImPlot.SetImGuiContext(context);

// Other code

if (ImPlot.BeginPlot("Some Plot")) 
{
        Span<double> xVals = new Span<double>(new double[]{0.0, 1.0, 2.0});
        Span<double> yVals = new Span<double>(new double[]{1.0, 0.0, 1.0});
        
        ImPlot.PlotLine("Test", ref MemoryMarshal.GetReference(xVals), ref MemoryMarshal.GetReference(yVals), xVals.Length);

    ImPlot.EndPlot();
}

// More code

ImPlot.DestroyContext();
ImGui.DestroyContext();

NOTE: If you are getting access violations, be sure to use all 4 DLL's that were generated by the nativebuild. Otherwise you will have mismatching ImGui versions.

Oh thank wil this all work with Other render apis like OpenTK?

[Pastor111]

Oh and also i cant seem to get the build correctly for some reason

I sadly don't know.

Did you init/update all submodules first? What type of error/problem are you running into?

This is what I did to build it:

git submodule update --init --recursive
.\build-native.cmd

works fine on my machine™.

[Pastor111]

It only compiles for the imgui folder the implot, imguizmo and imnodes dont compile apparently

[Kayzaks]

You'll need to provide more information. What you did, Compiler Output, etc.

[Pastor111]

When i git clone the repository it only comes with the cimgui folder and in the .gitmodules it does not include the other stuff just the cimgui and i also tried downloading the zip it comes with everything but when i try to compile it with cmake it says that there is an error with the cmakeList.txt

@Pastor111
When @Kayzaks is asking you for more information you cant expect that with the info provided above you get your problems solved!!

Your guide should be the first post from @Kayzaks where is telling you to clone https://github.com/TillAlex/ImGui.NET-nativebuild/tree/additional_libraries. You should clone this one and not any other (as it seems to be happening).

If you download the zip the submodules will be missing.

You should do the clone with git clone --recursive https://github.com/TillAlex/ImGui.NET-nativebuild

where recursive makes sure that all submodules are cloned also (cimgui, cimplot, etc)

Then you should do checkout to additional_libraries branch (this is done in you git client)

Then you will have to build with cmake.

If something fails dont forget to provide the informations of all the commands used in the process and the output messages.

Also: this message #218 (comment) is telling you where to find compiled binaries.

I think i got it correct now but when i try to link it cimguizmo and the other libraries it says that the reference is unvalid or unsopported

Cool. Please re-read and re-follow the steps in our previous comments, it should be working. If not I would like to emphasize the following comments:

NOTE: If you are getting access violations, be sure to use all 4 DLL's that were generated by the nativebuild. Otherwise you will have mismatching ImGui versions.

[Pastor111]

Thanks, i will see if it works in a moment

[Pastor111]

I have a question when i add the 4 dlls in my project should i unistall the Imgui.NET package or should i keep it?

[shlifedev]

if you want use imgui,implot then,

• reference ImGui.NET/src/ImGui.NET in your project
• reference ImGui.NET/src/ImPlot.NET in your project

and add your .exe build folder cimgui.dll, cimplot.dll

Is there any update on making these available through NuGet? I'm aware of the manual compilation option but NuGet is much more convenient
