namespace plot::imgui {

/// Embeds a `Plot` in a Dear ImGui window as a child region, and drives that plot
/// from ImGui's own input state.
///
/// `draw()` opens a child window of the requested size, translates its screen
/// rectangle into framebuffer pixels, hands that rectangle to
/// `Renderer::begin_frame()` and draws the plot into it: a scissor- and
/// viewport-bounded sub-rectangle of the very framebuffer ImGui is about to draw
/// its chrome into, not an offscreen texture. Nothing is rendered through a
/// texture or an FBO, and ImGui's frame is left undisturbed -- the renderer
/// clears only its own rect and restores the GL state it changed, and ImGui's
/// backend re-establishes its viewport and blend state before its first draw.
///
/// Two pixel spaces meet here, exactly as they do in the GLFW adapter. ImGui
/// lays out and reports in logical *points* -- `io.DisplaySize`, the cursor's
/// screen position, a child's content region -- while this library speaks
/// *framebuffer pixels*. The bridge is `io.DisplayFramebufferScale`, which the
/// platform backend fills in from the window and framebuffer sizes; on an
/// unscaled display it is (1, 1) and nothing changes.
///
/// ## The coordinate assumption
///
/// Points -> pixels through `io.DisplayFramebufferScale` is *the whole
/// framebuffer's* mapping only when both of these hold:
///
///   * the GL viewport the host is drawing its frame with is the whole
///     framebuffer -- origin (0, 0), size `DisplaySize * DisplayFramebufferScale`
///     -- and
///   * the bound draw target is the default framebuffer, not an offscreen one.
///
/// Under that assumption -- the one every ImGui platform backend documents, and
/// what a window that spans its framebuffer gives -- the child's point rectangle
/// is the pixel rectangle the plot is laid out and scissored into, and a gesture
/// lands on the pixel it was aimed at. A host that renders into an FBO, or with
/// a viewport that is not the whole framebuffer (a tiled compositor, a scaled
/// surface, a pass into a texture), breaks the assumption. This widget cannot
/// detect it: it has no view of the host's viewport and no way to ask. Such a
/// host must place the plot itself -- `Renderer::begin_frame()` takes the
/// framebuffer size and the plot's rect directly, so it needs no widget -- or
/// apply its own points -> pixels mapping on top of `plot.set_viewport()`.
///
/// ## What the widget draws over
///
/// The widget renders *immediately*, from inside the child, before ImGui renders
/// its draw data (see the frame order in the demo). It therefore writes the
/// child's pixels before every ImGui command of that frame, and ImGui has no way
/// to be told the child is opaque. The host must not paint over the child's
/// rectangle:
///
///   * the hosting window must not fill its background across the child -- use
///     `ImGui::SetNextWindowBgAlpha(0.0f)` or `ImGuiWindowFlags_NoBackground`
///     (`ImGuiCol_WindowBg`'s default alpha would otherwise dim the plot), and
///   * no other window may overlap the rectangle with opaque content.
///
/// The child's own background is forced transparent by the widget, whatever the
/// host's `ImGuiCol_ChildBg`, so the widget itself never paints over the plot.
///
/// The converse also holds: what ImGui clips away, the widget does not paint. GL
/// draws do not go through ImGui's clipping, so the region is intersected with the
/// clip rect ImGui gives the child (its own rectangle when nothing cuts it off,
/// the visible part of it when an ancestor does) -- a child the hosting window cuts
/// off must not clear and paint over whatever the host drew beside it.
///
/// ## Input
///
/// Pointer, wheel and key state are translated into `plot::input` events and
/// delivered to the plot's `Controller` -- the one the widget owns, reachable
/// through `controller()`. ImGui reports levels (`io.MouseDown`) where the
/// controller wants edges (`PointerEvent::pressed`/`released`), so the widget
/// remembers the previous frame's buttons and synthesises the transitions.
///
/// Events are forwarded while an invisible item covering the child's visible
/// region is hovered -- `IsItemHovered()` rather than `IsWindowHovered()`, because
/// the item is the child's whole rectangle (the child has no padding) and its hover
/// is false while the host is dragging some other widget, so dragging a slider next
/// to the plot cannot pan it. A press that started over the child keeps being
/// delivered until every button is up again, so a drag that leaves the region still
/// ends instead of leaving the plot mid-pan.
///
/// An *invalid* pointer position -- ImGui's `(-FLT_MAX, -FLT_MAX)` sentinel for "the
/// pointer is not on this window", which the platform backends leave behind when the
/// pointer leaves or the window loses focus -- is no position update: the last real
/// position stands, the movement for that frame is zero (a sentinel scaled by the
/// framebuffer scale and differenced against a real position would be a ~1e35 pan),
/// and the button levels still flow, so a drag that leaves the window still ends on
/// its release.
///
/// Wheel input goes to the plot while it is hovered, and the plot's zoom wins
/// over ImGui's window scrolling: `SetItemKeyOwner(ImGuiKey_MouseWheelY)` on that
/// invisible item makes ImGui withhold the wheel from the hosting window. The
/// claim takes effect from the frame after it is made, because ImGui decides
/// window scrolling in its own `NewFrame()` before any widget runs -- so a
/// hosting window with a scroll range can still scroll on the very first wheel of
/// a hover that has only just started. (The child's
/// `ImGuiWindowFlags_NoScrollWithMouse` would not achieve this on its own: ImGui
/// deliberately bubbles the wheel up to the parent when a child refuses it.)
/// ImGui consumes `io.MouseWheel` itself at the end of the frame, so a widget
/// cannot consume it any later than this.
///
/// Not thread-safe: like everything else in the render thread's frame.
