**The backends/ folder contains backends for popular platforms/graphics API, which you can use in
your application or engine to easily integrate Dear ImGui.** Each backend is typically self-contained in a pair of files: imgui_impl_XXXX.cpp + imgui_impl_XXXX.h.
- The 'Platform' backends are in charge of: mouse/keyboard/gamepad inputs, cursor shape, timing, windowing.<BR>
e.g. Windows ([imgui_impl_win32.cpp](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/backends/imgui_impl_win32.cpp)), GLFW ([imgui_impl_glfw.cpp](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/backends/imgui_impl_glfw.cpp)), SDL2 ([imgui_impl_sdl.cpp](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/backends/imgui_impl_sdl.cpp)), etc.

- The 'Renderer' backends are in charge of: creating atlas texture, rendering imgui draw data.<BR>
e.g. DirectX11 ([imgui_impl_dx11.cpp](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/backends/imgui_impl_dx11.cpp)), OpenGL/WebGL ([imgui_impl_opengl3.cpp](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/backends/imgui_impl_opengl3.cpp), Vulkan ([imgui_impl_vulkan.cpp](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/backends/imgui_impl_vulkan.cpp), etc.

- For some high-level frameworks, a single backend usually handle both 'Platform' and 'Renderer' parts.<BR>
e.g. Allegro 5 ([imgui_impl_allegro5.cpp](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/backends/imgui_impl_allegro5.cpp)), Marmalade ([imgui_impl_marmalade.cpp](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/backends/imgui_impl_marmalade.cpp)). If you end up creating a custom backend for your engine, you may want to do the same.

An application usually combines 1 Platform backend + 1 Renderer backend + main Dear ImGui sources.

For example, the [example_win32_directx11](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/master/examples/example_win32_directx11) application combines imgui_impl_win32.cpp + imgui_impl_dx11.cpp. There are 20+ examples in the [examples/](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/examples/) folder. See [EXAMPLES.MD](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/docs/EXAMPLES.md) for details.
**Once Dear ImGui is setup and running, run and refer to `ImGui::ShowDemoWindow()` in imgui_demo.cpp for usage of the end-user API.**

It is important to understand the difference between the core Dear ImGui library (files in the root folder)
and backends which we are describing here (backends/ folder).
and the backends which we are describing here (backends/ folder).
- Some issues may only be backend or platform specific.
- You should be able to write backends for pretty much any platform and any 3D graphics API.

If you are new to Dear ImGui, first try using the existing backends as-is.
You will save lots of time integrating the library.
You can LATER decide to rewrite yourself a custom backend if you really need to.
In most situations, custom backends have less features and more bugs than the standard backends we provide.
In most situations, custom backends have fewer features and more bugs than the standard backends we provide.
If you want portability, you can use multiple backends and choose between them either at compile time
or at runtime.
**Example A**: your engine is built over Windows + DirectX11 but you have your own high-level rendering
system layered over DirectX11.<BR>
Suggestion: try using imgui_impl_win32.cpp + imgui_impl_dx11.cpp first.

Generally:
It is unlikely you will add value to your project by creating your own backend.
