# implot-rs

Rust bindings for [ImPlot](https://github.com/epezent/implot), built by running
[bindgen](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen) on [cimplot](https://github.com/cimgui/cimplot).

## Requirements
imgui-rs requires minimum Rust version 1.40, so this project does as well by extension.
Currently the master branch of imgui-rs is used as a dependency until 
https://github.com/Gekkio/imgui-rs/pull/339 makes it into a release.

The sys crate compiles implot, so a C++ compiler will also be required.

## Design approach
This repo tries to follow the approaches and style used in `imgui-rs` somewhat closely,
because implot is to be used within imgui programs, and hence keeping the interfaces
and design philosophies close should make it easier to do that.

If you spot any design inconsistencies or papercuts, feel free to open an issue.

## Status
Currently a work in progress. The author is open to collaboration, if you'd like to 
help, feel free to reach out via a Github issue.

At this point, raw bindings are working in implot-sys, and more idiomatic interfaces
for plot creation as well a subset of the functionality for plots are implemented.
