Tools and Misc

You can find various tools under the tools directory. Most of them are for converting files into an appropriate header file format for embedding.

Custom Font for IMGUI

Relevant ImGUI Source

.\binary_to_compressed.exe font.ttf font > font.h

Make sure the final file is encoded as UTF-8 👍

ImGui::GetIO().Fonts->AddFontFromMemoryCompressedTTF(
        font_compressed_data, 
        font_compressed_size, fontSize);

Converting Images

From the glfw documentation,

The pixels are 32-bit, little-endian, non-premultiplied RGBA, i.e. eight bits per channel with the red channel first. They are arranged canonically as packed sequential rows, starting from the top-left corner"

I figured since stbi_load works seamlessly you can use the following binary to write image data to a .h file.

.\image_to_header.exe name.png output.h
