Minor rewrite - add support for drawing other things on the terminal while ImTui is active. #53

Closed katemonster33 closed 7 months ago

Added support for drawing other things on the screen while ImTui is active, without corrupting ImTui or the other window.

I also needed to add changes to the way font drawing was done in order for ImTui to work for my use case. This is a draft PR because I believe this will need some work before it can be merged, but I would like to get it merged so an official release can be made.

@ggerganov was hoping to hear from you whether you feel this PR is desirable. If not I will keep my changes local. The branch came about because I was adding ImTui support to the game Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead.

Hi, thank you for your comments, I will try and split this up.

The big issue was the multi-window problem, I did not see any way for the application to draw anything else with ncurses while an ImTui window was active, can you confirm whether this is expected behavior or not?

I think it is expected, though not 100% sure. In my applications I've always been drawing to the screen only via ImTui
