Add text_baseline_y to ImGui::Dummy

[codecat]

Version/Branch of Dear ImGui:

Version: 1.84.1
Branch: docking

Back-end/Renderer/Compiler/OS

Back-ends: imgui_impl_win32.cpp + imgui_impl_dx11.cpp
Operating System: Windows

My Issue/Question:

For custom controls, it would be useful to have access to the baseline offset from ImGui::Dummy which would be passed down to ItemSize.

imgui/imgui_widgets.cpp

Lines 1319 to 1328 in 2d0a6a4

	void ImGui::Dummy(const ImVec2& size)
	{
	ImGuiWindow* window = GetCurrentWindow();
	if (window->SkipItems)
	return;
	const ImRect bb(window->DC.CursorPos, window->DC.CursorPos + size);
	ItemSize(size);
	ItemAdd(bb, 0);
	}

Screenshots/Video

My custom control is a simple tag, which is a colored background around around some text. In the below screenshots, note the test text is an ImGui::Text after ImGui::SameLine.

Without baseline offset:

With baseline offset:

Standalone, minimal, complete and verifiable example: (see #2261)

ImGui::Begin("Example Bug");
ImGui::Dummy(ImVec2(32, 32));
ImGui::SameLine();
ImGui::Text("Hello");
ImGui::End();

As a workaround, I've included imgui_internal.h and wrote my own function:

static void ScriptUI_DummyEx(const glm::vec2& size, float text_baseline_y)
{
	//NOTE: Same as ImGui::Dummy, but with the added baseline parameter

	ImGuiWindow* window = ImGui::GetCurrentWindow();
	if (window->SkipItems) {
		return;
	}

	const ImRect bb(window->DC.CursorPos, ImVec2(window->DC.CursorPos.x + size.x, window->DC.CursorPos.y + size.y));
	ImGui::ItemSize(ImVec2(size.x, size.y), text_baseline_y);
	ImGui::ItemAdd(bb, 0);
}

Hello,
For now I suggest you keep using your helper DummyEx(). I'll like to keep this open as I'm been unhappy with the amount of issues caused by text baseline features and I'd like to consider a better overall solution (maybe have baseline as a style var).
