I'm looking at the release notes for osgEarth 3.0 and I'm seeing that one of the things added was "ImGui integration". Can someone elaborate on what this is and if there's any documentation providing details?

I have an osgEarth application that I'm wanting to use a GUI with to provide more control.

Thanks.

Thanks Jason.

I'll take a look...:)

Jason,

I did a clone on the osgEarth 3.0 repo and I can't find the sample osgearth_imgui. It is located elsewhere?

Thanks

Shayne

Jason,

I was able to find the source but for some reason the exe doesn't get built when I build the solution (VS 2017 on Windows). Is there a Cmake setting or package dependency I need to build osgearth_imgui.exe?

Thanks for your help.

Shayne

Just a follow-up...

I was able to find the problem.

I needed to enable OSGEARTH_ENABLE_GEOCODER in the Cmake configuration settings and update the project/solution file. Now the osgearth_imgui.exe gets created on build.

When will osgEarth 3.0 "properly" released? The latest tagged release on Github is 2.10.1 and in the CMakeLists.txt the version strings are denoted with major version "2", minor version "99".

Thanks, I will update those. Just an oversight. There IS an "osgearth-3.0" tag, but it just doesn't show up in the /releases page.

there are two zip files  Named osgearth-simdis-sdk-1.13   osgEarth-3.0.zip, and download links are as follows, what are differences between these.
https://github.com/gwaldron/osgearth/archive/osgearth-simdis-sdk-1.13.zip

https://github.com/gwaldron/osgearth/archive/osgearth-3.0.zip

Use osgEarth-3.0 zip.
Or better yet, wait a couple days and grab version 3.1 which is about to be released. :)

thanks
