This project is archived in favour of using the official backends: https://gnimuc.github.io/CImGui.jl/stable/backends/. If you really need OpenGL2 support consider modifying CImGuiPack_jll to also build the OpenGL2 backend and adding support for it to CImGui.jl.

ImGuiOpenGLBackend

Julia OpenGL backend for ImGui.

Installation

pkg> add ImGuiOpenGLBackend

Example

using ImGuiGLFWBackend
using ImGuiGLFWBackend.LibCImGui
using ImGuiGLFWBackend.LibGLFW
using ImGuiOpenGLBackend
using ImGuiOpenGLBackend.ModernGL
