imgui-vtk

• Incorporate VTK's dataset visualization capabilities with versatility of Dear ImGui
  • Multiple independent VtkViewer instances can be used in the same program to display multiple VTK scenes simultaneously
• Uses VTK's OpenGLRenderWindow class
  • Renders to texture and displays the texture natively with ImGui
• Compatible with both ImGui's main and docking branches

Usage:

• CMake
  1. Build separately & link
  • Build your executable, imgui, your OpenGL Loader (e.g., gl3w), and imgui-vtk. Make sure to link imgui-vtk against imgui, your OpenGL Loader (e.g., gl3w), and VTK!
  • See CMakeLists.txt for more details
  2. Build together
  • Build your executable, imgui, your OpenGL Loader (e.g., gl3w), and imgui-vtk all together, from source.
  • See CMakeLists-alt.txt for more details
• See main.cpp

Notes

• imgui, gl3w, and glfw are included in this repository as git submodules
  • For integration into an existing project, only VtkViewer.h and VtkViewer.cpp are needed. However, they will need to be linked with or built alongside Dear ImGui and VTK
• Dependencies are built separately in CMakeLists.txt then linked together as static libraries
  • CMakeLists-alt.txt builds everything together from source
• Usage (see main.cpp for details)
  • You must create and end ImGui windows yourself
    • Allows for other widgets to be placed in the same ImGui window as the VTK "viewport"
    • Allows for full control over window size, behavior, etc. via Dear ImGui API
• Note: For the sake of cleanliness and readability, most ImGui preprocessor directives were removed. Files no longer auto-detect your OpenGL loader. While everything is currently set up for OpenGL3 + GLFW + GL3W, you may need to adjust #include statements, etc. to match your use case.
