See BACKENDS and EXAMPLES files in the docs/ folder, or on the web at: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/master/docs Backends = Helper code to facilitate integration with platforms/graphics api (used by Examples + should be used by your app). Examples = Standalone applications showcasing integration with platforms/graphics api. Some Examples have extra README files in their respective directory, please check them too! Once Dear ImGui is running (in either examples or your own application/game/engine), run and refer to ImGui::ShowDemoWindow() in imgui_demo.cpp for the end-user API.
