ISSUES & TODO LIST

Issue numbers (#) refer to GitHub issues listed at https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/XXXX
This list is not well maintained, most of the work happens on GitHub nowadays.
THIS LIST IS NOT WELL MAINTAINED. MOST OF THE WORK HAPPENS ON GITHUB NOWADAYS.
The list below consist mostly of ideas noted down before they are requested/discussed by users (at which point they usually exist on the github issue tracker).

- window/child: allow resizing of child windows (possibly given min/max for each axis?.)
- window/child: allow SetNextWindowContentSize() to work on child windows.
- window/clipping: some form of clipping when DisplaySize (or corresponding viewport) is zero.
- window/tabbing: add a way to signify that a window or docked window requires attention (e.g. blinking title bar).
- window/id_stack: add e.g. window->GetIDFromPath() with support for leading / and ../ (#1390, #331)
- window/tabbing: add a way to signify that a window or docked window requires attention (e.g. blinking title bar, trying to click behind a modal).
- window/id_stack: add e.g. window->GetIDFromPath() with support for leading / and ../ (#1390, #331) -> model from test engine.
! scrolling: exposing horizontal scrolling with Shift+Wheel even when scrollbar is disabled expose lots of issues (#2424, #1463)
- scrolling: while holding down a scrollbar, try to keep the same contents visible (at least while not moving mouse)
- scrolling: allow immediately effective change of scroll after Begin() if we haven't appended items yet.
- scrolling: forward mouse wheel scrolling to parent window when at the edge of scrolling limits? (useful for listbox,tables?)
- scrolling/clipping: separator on the initial position of a window is not visible (cursorpos.y <= clippos.y). (2017-08-20: can't repro)
- scrolling/style: shadows on scrollable areas to denote that there is more contents (see e.g. DaVinci Resolve ui)

- drawdata: make it easy to deep-copy (or swap?) a full ImDrawData so user can easily save that data if they use threaded rendering. (e.g. #2646)
! drawlist: add CalcTextSize() func to facilitate consistent code from user pov (currently need to use ImGui or ImFont alternatives!)
- drawlist: maintaining bounding box per command would allow to merge draw command when clipping isn't relied on (typical non-scrolling window or non-overflowing column would merge with previous command). (WIP branch)
- drawlist: primitives/helpers to manipulate vertices post submission, so e.g. a quad/rect can be resized to fit later submitted content, _without_ using the ChannelSplit api
- drawlist: make it easier to toggle AA per primitive, so we can use e.g. non-AA fill + AA borders more naturally
- drawlist: non-AA strokes have gaps between points (#593, #288), glitch especially on RenderCheckmark() and ColorPicker4().
- drawlist: rendering: provide a way for imgui to output to a single/global vertex buffer, re-order indices only at the end of the frame (ref: https://gist.github.com/floooh/10388a0afbe08fce9e617d8aefa7d302)
- drawlist: callback: add an extra void* in ImDrawCallback to allow passing render-local data to the callback (would break API).
- drawlist: AddRect vs AddLine position confusing (#2441)
- drawlist/opt: store rounded corners in texture to use 1 quad per corner (filled and wireframe) to lower the cost of rounding. (#1962)
- drawlist/opt: AddRect() axis aligned pixel aligned (no-aa) could use 8 triangles instead of 16 and no normal calculation.
- drawlist/opt: thick AA line could be doable in same number of triangles as 1.0 AA line by storing gradient+full color in atlas.

- main: IsItemHovered() info stored in a stack? so that 'if TreeNode() { Text; TreePop; } if IsHovered' return the hover state of the TreeNode?
- items: IsItemHovered() info stored in a stack? so that 'if TreeNode() { Text; TreePop; } if IsHovered' return the hover state of the TreeNode?

- widgets: display mode: widget-label, label-widget (aligned on column or using fixed size), label-newline-tab-widget etc. (#395)
- widgets: clean up widgets internal toward exposing everything and stabilizing imgui_internals.h.
- widgets: add always-allow-overlap mode. This should perhaps be the default? one problem is that highlight after mouse-wheel scrolling gets deferred, makes scrolling more flickery.
- widgets: start exposing PushItemFlag() and ImGuiItemFlags
- widgets: alignment options in style (e.g. center Selectable, Right-Align within Button, etc.) #1260
- widgets: activate by identifier (trigger button, focus given id)
- widgets: a way to represent "mixed" values, so e.g. all values replaced with *, including check-boxes, colors, etc. with support for multi-components widgets (e.g. SliderFloat3, make only "Y" mixed) (#2644)
- widgets: checkbox: checkbox with custom glyph inside frame.
- widgets: custom glyph/shapes replacements for stock sapes. (also #6090 #2431 #2235 #6517)
- widgets: coloredit: keep reporting as active when picker is on?
- widgets: group/scalarn functions: expose more per-component information. e.g. store NextItemData.ComponentIdx set by scalarn function, groups can expose them back somehow.
- selectable: using (size.x == 0.0f) and (SelectableTextAlign.x > 0.0f) followed by SameLine() is currently not supported.

!- color: the color conversion helpers/types are a mess and needs sorting out.
- color: (api breaking) ImGui::ColorConvertXXX functions should be loose ImColorConvertXX to match imgui_internals.h

- plot: full featured plot/graph api w/ scrolling, zooming etc. all bell & whistle. why not!
- plot: PlotLines() should use the polygon-stroke facilities, less vertices (currently issues with averaging normals)
- plot: make it easier for user to draw extra stuff into the graph (e.g: draw basis, highlight certain points, 2d plots, multiple plots)

- image/image button: parameters are confusing, image() has tint_col,border_col whereas imagebutton() has bg_col/tint_col. Even thou they are different parameters ordering could be more consistent. can we fix that?

- nav: code to focus child-window on restoring NavId appears to have issue: e.g. when focus change is implicit because of window closure.
