Text utils module

The text utils module provides a number of rich text rendering widgets to imgui. We use our UntitledImGuiTextUtils library to handle this functionality.

Enabling the module

To enable the text utils module, update your uvproj.yaml so that the text-utils key under enabled-modules is set to true like this:

name: "MyProject"
version: "1.0.0.0"
engine-version: "1.0.0.0"
enabled-modules:
  text-utils: true

Then, regenerate the modules cache by running the following command:

user $ ./UVKBuildTool --generate <project directory>

After that, refresh your CMake project with cmake ..!


Next, in your source file, include the Modules.hpp header in your components like this:

#include <Modules/Modules.hpp>

Event safety

The entire module is flagged as event safe at All ready

Learning the module

To learn more about using the text utils module, check out the UntitledImGuiTextUtils GitHub wiki.

Checking for the module

To check for the module at compile time, use the UIMGUI_TEXT_UTILS_MODULE_ENABLED macro.

Runtime checking can be done using the text_utils member of the ModuleSettings struct. More info can be found here.
