XPlaneImGuiPluginTemplate

A lightweight X-Plane plugin that integrates ImGui for enhanced in-sim user interfaces.

Customization Guide

To customize the XPlaneImGui.cpp file for your own use, follow these steps:

Customize Plugin Information

• Modify the XPluginStart function to change the plugin's name, signature, and description to match your project.

Initialize ImGui for X-Plane

• Initialization and Shutdown: Handled in XPluginStart and XPluginStop. No changes are needed unless you have additional initialization or cleanup requirements.

Register and Unregister ImGui Draw Callbacks

• In XPluginEnable: Register your own render callback function instead of the examples.
• In XPluginDisable: Unregister your render callback function.

Implement Custom Render Function

• Replace XPlanePluginIntroRender with your custom function. This function should contain ImGui calls to create your plugin's UI.

Handle Plugin Messages

• Implement logic in XPluginReceiveMessage to handle any specific messages or actions your plugin needs to respond to.

Include Necessary Headers

• Ensure all necessary headers for your custom functionality are included at the top of the file.

Customize and Extend

• Add any additional functions, global variables, or classes needed for your plugin's functionality.

Compile and Test

• After making your changes, compile your plugin and test it within X-Plane to ensure everything works as expected.
