@cmuratori @ocornut I will soon have to decide on a topic for my master's thesis and I am really interesed in immediate mode UIs. Since you are the only two people I know of, that are involved with imGUIs: do you know of any academic ressources on the topic?

I think pretty much all useful resources (a handful) are listed in Dear ImGui README, with the exception of Casey’s old forum which is offline.

Let me know how it goes! It’d be interesting if you can dig further into the topic. Another good resource if you want to dive deep are vurtun’s gists on github.

Thanks! I don't know what exactly my topic will be. I might get away with just writing an imGUI for ordinary desktop applications, since there isn't one (I think) yet. The more interesting thing of course is to really get into how the approaches differ in usability and outcome.

I will have to talk to my prof how cool he is with a topic where you can't just put 50 scientific papers as references in your thesis :D

I don't know of any academic resources either. I have the old forum archives so we can dig those up if necessary, but I don't know that there's very much there. I am still wondering about the earliest uses of the technique myself...

... my _assumption_ is that there must be evidence of an IMGUI prior to my introducing the technique/term. But when I checked with folks who I thought might have done it, it turned out they hadn't, due to the fact that redrawing screens prior to the 90s was too hard.

This gave me some new insight into perhaps why RMGUIs were the natural methodology early on: because everyone was used to creating something where you didn't redraw the screen except on state changes. Thus RMGUI might have been the natural outcropping of these techniques.

I still think somewhere there probably exists code predating my circa-2000 Granny Viewer app that use the methodology, but that didn't ever popularize a term for it or the technique. We just have to find it :)

Thank you guys! I will definitely check out all the resources in the imgui readme and write you again if I have some relevant news or questions. (That would probably be in a couple months time)
