- Newcomers, read 'PROGRAMMER GUIDE' in imgui.cpp for notes on how to setup ImGui in your codebase.
- Refer to 'opengl2_example' to LEARN how the library is setup, it is the simplest one.
- To LEARN how the library is setup, you may refer to 'opengl2_example' because is the simplest one.
The other examples requires more boilerplate and are harder to read.
- If you are using OpenGL in your application, probably use an opengl3_xxx backend.
Mixing old fixed pipeline OpenGL2 and programmable pipeline OpenGL3+ isn't well supported by drivers.
However, USE 'opengl3_example' in your application if you are using any modern OpenGL3+ calls.

If you are not sure, in doubt, use 'opengl3_example'.

- If you have your own engine, you probably want to start from one of the OpenGL example and adapt it to

This is only provided as a reference to learn how ImGui integration works, because it is easier to read.
However, if your code is using GL3+ context, using this may confuse your driver. Please use the GL3 example below.

are having issues mixing GL2 calls and newer GL3/GL4 calls. So it isn't recommended that you use that.)

This uses more modern OpenGL calls and custom shaders. It's more messy.
