Why not use imgui in vcpkg?

[QiuYilin]

There is imgui in vcpkg, why not use this version to simplify the compilation steps.

PS E:\src\vcpkg> .\vcpkg.exe search imgui

@QiuYilin I think including imgui with vcpkg is the simpler approach. But I like having quick access to the examples and source files of the imgui examples. They helped me a lot to understand and implement GUI features with imgui.
My workflow was often to use the examples window and look how the things I needed/found interesting were implemented with the .cpp files. Like how this Youtuber presented it: BEST WAY to make Desktop Applications in C++ I don't know if this is possible with vcpkg. Maybe I missed something, or how do you use the examples if you want to look something up in the .cpp files.

This is indeed the more recommended approach by imgui：https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/imgui_demo.cpp#L19

Emmm, in the past, I would download another imgui or read the manual https://pthom.github.io/imgui_manual_online/manual/imgui_manual.html. Now I think if I use the vcpkg version I may need to additionally copy and paste imgui_demo.cpp. I think this question is not important, I just remind you in case you don't know that vcpkg has an imgui version. This video is very helpful to me, thank you.
