+ + +### Miscellaneous + +**Building** + +Unfortunately nowadays it is still tedious to create and maintain portable build files using external +libraries (the kind we're using here to create a window and render 3D triangles) without relying on +third party software and build systems. For most examples here we choose to provide: + - Makefiles for Linux/OSX + - Batch files for Visual Studio 2008+ + - A .sln project file for Visual Studio 2012+ + - Xcode project files for the Apple examples +Please let us know if they don't work with your setup! +You can probably just import the imgui_impl_xxx.cpp/.h files into your own codebase or compile those +directly with a command-line compiler. + +If you are interested in using Cmake to build and links examples, see: + https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/pull/1713 and https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/pull/3027 + +**About mouse cursor latency** + +Dear ImGui has no particular extra lag for most behaviors, +e.g. the last value passed to 'io.AddMousePosEvent()' before NewFrame() will result in windows being moved +to the right spot at the time of EndFrame()/Render(). At 60 FPS your experience should be pleasant. + +However, consider that OS mouse cursors are typically drawn through a very specific hardware accelerated +path and will feel smoother than the majority of contents rendered via regular graphics API (including, +but not limited to Dear ImGui windows). Because UI rendering and interaction happens on the same plane +as the mouse, that disconnect may be jarring to particularly sensitive users. +You may experiment with enabling the io.MouseDrawCursor flag to request Dear ImGui to draw a mouse cursor +using the regular graphics API, to help you visualize the difference between a "hardware" cursor and a +regularly rendered software cursor. +However, rendering a mouse cursor at 60 FPS will feel sluggish so you likely won't want to enable that at +all times. It might be beneficial for the user experience to switch to a software rendered cursor _only_ +when an interactive drag is in progress. + +Note that some setup or GPU drivers are likely to be causing extra display lag depending on their settings. +If you feel that dragging windows feels laggy and you are not sure what the cause is: try to build a simple +drawing a flat 2D shape directly under the mouse cursor! + -- cgit v1.2.1
