Installation

Ensure you have at least Python 3.7 64bit.

pip install dearpygui
or
pip3 install dearpygui

How to use?

Using Dear PyGui is as simple as the following Python script.

import dearpygui.dearpygui as dpg

def save_callback():
    print("Save Clicked")

dpg.create_context()
dpg.create_viewport()
dpg.setup_dearpygui()

with dpg.window(label="Example Window"):
    dpg.add_text("Hello world")
    dpg.add_button(label="Save", callback=save_callback)
    dpg.add_input_text(label="string")
    dpg.add_slider_float(label="float")

dpg.show_viewport()
dpg.start_dearpygui()
dpg.destroy_context()

Demo

The built-in demo shows all of Dear PyGui's functionality. Use this code to run the demo. The following impression shows a few, but not nearly all, of the available widgets and features. Since the Python code of the demo can be inspected, you can leverage the demo code to build your own apps.

Tech stack

Dear PyGui is built on top of Dear ImGui, including the ImPlot and imnodes extensions, and is fundamentally different than other Python GUI frameworks. Under the hood, it uses the immediate mode paradigm and your computer's GPU to facilitate extremely dynamic interfaces. In the same manner Dear ImGui provides a simple way to create tools for game developers, Dear PyGui provides a simple way for python developers to create quick and powerful GUIs for scripts. Dear PyGui is written in C/C++ resulting in highly performant Python applications. Dear PyGui is currently supported on the following platforms.

Platform	Graphics API	Newest Version
Windows 10	DirectX 11
macOS	Metal
Linux	OpenGL 3
Raspberry Pi 4	OpenGL ES
