## What it is
Dear ImGui Bundle is a batteries-included immediate-mode GUI framework for both Python and C++, built on Dear ImGui with integrated plotting, Markdown, node editors, and image inspection add-ons. It supports desktop, mobile, and web targets (via Emscripten and Pyodide) with nearly identical APIs across both languages.

## Use cases
- build a desktop gui app in python
- create immediate-mode ui in c++
- run interactive gui apps in the browser
- plot real-time 2d and 3d data in a gui
- prototype tools and creative-coding apps
- build cross-platform mobile and desktop apps with one codebase
- inspect and view images inside a gui

## When to choose
- you want fast, code-first GUIs without widget trees or callback wiring
- you need the same UI code to run on desktop, mobile, and web
- you want plotting, node editors, and image inspection bundled out of the box
- you work in both Python and C++ and want consistent APIs

## When to avoid
- you need native-looking widgets matching OS design conventions
- you prefer retained-mode, declarative UI frameworks
- you need complex accessibility support out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: gui, ui-components, data-visualization, image-processing, templating
- domain: web-development, desktop-applications, cross-platform, graphics, developer-tools, data-visualization
