Hello!

I’m new to Cinder and I have manage to clone the main Cinder Git repository and build the Cinder lib for my Windows system, so I can compile and run the sample files from Visual Studio 2019. Yay! 🙂

Is there any ImGui examples in the samples, I haven’t found one yet…?

It’s so nice with the pre-made project-files with all compiler settings done, so you just can start to code and try things! 🕶  
I’m a senior senior 3D artist, have been using Unity and know programming, but I do not know enough about _Frameworks, Git, Compilers, Libs, Cmake_ to just ‘plug in’ ImGui in a Cinder project on my own. I was trying but got endless problems… So is there an easier way for some one like me to start with ImGui in Cinder? (I prefer to stay away from _Cmake_ if it’s possible, for me it just adds complexity.)

Thanks in advance!  
/ Svante

You can search for them like this for example:

```auto
https://github.com/cinder/Cinder/search?q=CinderImGui.h

```

The Tubular sample for example ([Cinder/samples/Tubular at master · cinder/Cinder · GitHub](https://github.com/cinder/Cinder/tree/master/samples/Tubular)) uses ImGui, but there are also many others.

That helped a lot, Dear ImGui is up and running! 🕶  
I also learned how to search for a specific header inclusion in a Git repository.

Thank you Gabor! 😀
