# Q&A: Integration
### Q: How to get started?
Read `PROGRAMMER GUIDE` section of [imgui.cpp](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/imgui.cpp).
### Q: How can I tell whether to dispatch mouse/keyboard to Dear ImGui or to my application?
You can read the `io.WantCaptureMouse`, `io.WantCaptureKeyboard` and `io.WantTextInput` flags from the ImGuiIO structure.

### Q: I integrated Dear ImGui in my engine and the text or lines are blurry..
In your Render function, try translating your projection matrix by (0.5f,0.5f) or (0.375f,0.375f).
Also make sure your orthographic projection matrix and io.DisplaySize matches your actual framebuffer dimension.
### Q: I integrated Dear ImGui in my engine and little squares are showing instead of text..
This usually means that: your font texture wasn't uploaded into GPU, or your shader or other rendering state are not reading from the right texture (e.g. texture wasn't bound).
If this happens using the standard back-ends it is probably that the texture failed to upload, which could happens if for some reason your texture is too big. Also see [docs/FONTS.md](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/docs/FONTS.md).

The demo applications are not DPI aware so expect some blurriness on a 4K screen. For DPI awareness in your application, you can load/reload your font at different scale, and scale your style with `style.ScaleAllSizes()` (see [FAQ](https://www.dearimgui.org/faq)).

**Which version should I get?**
I occasionally tag [Releases](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/releases) but it is generally safe and recommended to sync to master/latest. The library is fairly stable and regressions tend to be fixed fast when reported.
We occasionally tag [Releases](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/releases) but it is generally safe and recommended to sync to master/latest. The library is fairly stable and regressions tend to be fixed fast when reported.
You may also peak at the [Multi-Viewport](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/1542) and [Docking](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/2109) features in the `docking` branch. Many projects are using this branch and it is kept in sync with master regularly.

// - Their visibility state (~bool) is held internally by Dear ImGui instead of being held by the programmer as we are used to with regular Begin() calls.
