Example

require "ImGui"

local imgui = ImGui.new()
stage:addChild(imgui)

local window01 = true -- the starting state of window01, true=window is visible at start up
local window02 = true -- the starting state of window02, true=window is visible at start up
local window03 = true -- the starting state of window03, true=window is visible at start up

function onEnterFrame(e)
	-- 1 we start ImGui
	imgui:newFrame(e.deltaTime)

	-- 2 we add a child window and build our GUI
	if window01 then -- is window visible (not closed)?
		local windowdrawn = false -- is window expanded or colapsed?
		window01, windowdrawn = imgui:beginWindow( -- with close button
			"Hello ImGui v"..ImGui._VERSION, -- window title
			window01 -- returns window visibility
		)
		if windowdrawn then -- the variable is false when main window is collapsed
			imgui:text("This is an ImGui text.") -- we add a text element to our GUI
			imgui:textColored("This is a colored text.", 0xff00ff, 1)
			-- ...
		end
	end

	window02 = imgui:beginWindow("Window02") -- no close button
	if window02 then -- is window expanded or colapsed?
		imgui:text("I am a text in window02")
		print(e.deltaTime) -- test
		-- ...
	end

	window03 = imgui:beginWindow(
		0, -- dummy title because we set the window with no title bar
		nil, -- no close button
		ImGui.WindowFlags_NoTitleBar -- no title bar
	)
	if window03 then -- is window expanded or colapsed?
		imgui:text("This is an ImGui text.") -- we add a text element to our GUI
		imgui:textColored("This is a colored text.", 0xff00ff, 1)
		-- ...
	end

	-- 3 we end the frame and render to screen
	imgui:endFrame()
	imgui:render()
end
