ImGui Simple Text Box

Overview

• Category: repeat_instant
• File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/ui/imgui/imSimpleBox.lua

Displays a simple ImGui window with a title and text body. The window renders every frame while the node is active.

How It Works

1. work() - Called every frame while the node is active.
   • Opens an ImGui Begin window using the title pin value, appended with ##<nodeId> for uniqueness.
   • Renders the text pin value using im.Text().
   • Closes the window with im.End().

The window is non-closable from the user's perspective (uses BoolPtr(true) as the open flag).

Lua Code Example

-- Flowgraph usage: simply wire string values into the title/text pins
-- The node continuously renders the ImGui window each frame

-- Equivalent manual ImGui call:
im.Begin("My Title##123", im.BoolPtr(true))
im.Text("Hello World")
im.End()
