This is not a bug report, just an update. I needed a UI for a project and I though this was a great idea. However I found several bugs and needed new features so I spent some time cleaning it up and simplifying things and thought I would post my cleaned up file here for anyone interested in it. I don't claim any rights to this, however whatever rights the original author has remain in effect.

Hi there,

I searched an ImGui for processing, and it seems your project is the only one available.

First, I found out how to draw last, and be able to add element over the main draw, wherever is called the ui elements.

I made a class, cardsui, and in the object initiator, the only argument is a PApplet.

By getting a reference to the main PApplet, let call it parent, I can call the "parent.registerMethod("methodName", this)" and add a draw, mouseEvent and keyEvent method, which is synchronized with the sketch ones. More info there : https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Library-Basics

Then I created an arraylist, with a special type, and instead of draw when I add an UI element in the main draw, I add it to the arraylist, and finally draw all the GUI in the cardsUi.draw() method.

I think the DearImGui way, to keep simple functioncall, by example Button(String Label), and manage the position automatically, with the possibility to custom it, much more easy to manage, than how you do as now. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui

By using a class, it makes it much more easy to manage this.

And what is possible with a class ( using its own mouseEvent or draw method), can be done with a library.
