pimgu 5.4.2023.2

A simple framework for creating robust 2D GUI applications using Pygame and ImGui.

Pimgu

Pimgu is a lightweight framework that combines the power of Pygame and ImGui to create intuitive and responsive 2D GUI applications. This framework provides an easy-to-use interface to build user interfaces while harnessing the capabilities of Pygame and ImGui under the hood.

Features

• Simple API for creating and managing ImGui-based user interfaces
• Integrated with Pygame for efficient event handling and rendering
• Customizable callbacks for input handling, ImGui rendering, and Pygame rendering
• Easy control of application flow and frame rate
• Cross-platform support

Installation

It is recommended that you have <= Python 3.6 installed on your machine.

pip install pimgu

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to create a Pimgu application with a simple ImGui window:

import imgui
from pimgu import Applet

def main_gui():
    imgui.begin("My First Pimgu Window")
    imgui.text("Hello, world!")
    imgui.end()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = Applet(title="Pimgu Example")
    app.register_imgui_callback(main_gui)
    app.run()

Documentation

Applet

The core class of Pimgu is Applet, which provides a high-level interface to manage your application.

Applet Constructor

Create a new Applet instance with the following parameters:

• title (str, optional): The title of the application window. Default is "Pimgu Application".
• dimensions (tuple, optional): The dimensions of the window (width, height). Default is (1280, 720).
• icon_path (str, optional): Path to the window icon (optional). Default is an empty string.

Applet Methods

• run(): Runs the main loop of the application.
• register_input_callback(callback: Callable): Register a callback to be called during Applet input processing.
• register_imgui_callback(callback: Callable): Register a callback to be called during Applet GUI processing.
• register_pygame_render_callback(callback: Callable): Register a callback to be called during Pygame render time.
• register_tick_callback(callback: Callable): Register a callback to be called during the Applet's tick stage (before rendering, after input).

Applet Properties

• get_title() -> str: Get the title of the application window.
• get_screen() -> pygame.Surface: Get the Pygame screen surface.
• get_imgui_io(): Get the ImGui IO buffer.
• get_imgui_renderer() -> PygameRenderer: Get the ImGui Pygame renderer.
• get_clock() -> pygame.time.Clock: Get the Pygame clock object.
• get_cls_color() -> tuple: Get the clear color of the OpenGL buffer.
• is_running() -> bool: Check if the application is running.
• get_target_fps() -> int: Get the target frame rate.
• set_cls_color(cls_color: tuple): Set the clear color of the OpenGL buffer.
• set_running(running: bool): Set the application running state.
• set_target_fps(target_fps: int): Set the target frame rate.
