imgui-wgpu

A wgpu render backend for dear imgui (imgui-rs).

Getting Started

Add imgui-wgpu to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
imgui-wgpu = "0.27"
imgui = "0.12"
wgpu = "28"

Usage

Create a Renderer during setup, then call render() each frame inside a wgpu render pass:

// Setup
let mut imgui = imgui::Context::create();
let renderer_config = imgui_wgpu::RendererConfig {
    texture_format: surface_format, // must match your surface
    ..imgui_wgpu::RendererConfig::new()
};
let mut renderer = imgui_wgpu::Renderer::new(&mut imgui, &device, &queue, renderer_config);

// Per frame
let draw_data = imgui_context.render();
let mut rpass = encoder.begin_render_pass(/* ... */);
renderer.render(draw_data, &queue, &device, &mut rpass).unwrap();

For more control over GPU buffer lifetime, use prepare() + split_render() instead of render().

Color Space

RendererConfig::new() (the default) outputs linear color for sRGB framebuffers (Bgra8UnormSrgb). Use RendererConfig::new_srgb() if rendering to a linear framebuffer (Bgra8Unorm).

Custom Textures

let texture = imgui_wgpu::Texture::new(&device, &renderer, TextureConfig {
    size: wgpu::Extent3d { width: 64, height: 64, depth_or_array_layers: 1 },
    ..Default::default()
});
texture.write(&queue, &pixel_data, 64, 64);
let tex_id = renderer.textures.insert(texture);
// Use tex_id with imgui::Image

Examples

cargo run --release --example hello-world
cargo run --release --example custom-texture
cargo run --release --example cube
