* SliderScalar and DragScalar is hand-writen for python and it can handle tuples with SliderScalarN and DragScalarN
Flags are translated in such pattern: ImGuiSelectableFlags_AllowOverlap ⇒ ImGui.SelectableFlags.AllowOverlap
APIs with read-write pointer argument are translated in such pattern: bool Checkbox(label, bool* checked) ⇒ Checkbox(label, checked) -> tuple(value_modified, new_checked_value)
In case of API signature has changed or flags has changed, call python bindgen.py /path/to/imgui/ to re-generate the binding
I made this to fit my own need.
In my situation, I have a native app made with ImGui, and I want to expose just enough ImGui API to python, not the entire ImGui world, its internals, the windowing, the backends and everything.
And I want it compiled within my own module, so that my native code and python extension can share a static ImGui library.
I find it surprisingly hard to fit my needs with existing python bindings, and it's surprisingly easy to do it myself
-- so, here it is.
