5. **Fast rasterizer.** `@native` functions; axis-aligned quads (most rects and every glyph) take a span-fill path, flat rows are copied instead of re-blended, gradient rects (color pickers) are filled per row, and only real triangles (anti-aliased edges, curves) use the generic edge-function rasterizer.
6. **Render rate.** Tiles update at most `SetRenderRate(hz)` times per second (default 60), optionally lower while scrolling/resizing (`SetBusyRenderRate`). Your UI code and Dear ImGui's logic still run every frame, so input is never dropped.
**Input.** Mouse and keys come from `UserInputService`. While the mouse is over Dear ImGui (`io.WantCaptureMouse`), the tiles are `Active`, so clicks and the wheel don't reach the game (camera zoom). Games can't read the clipboard, so while a text field is active a hidden `TextBox` holds focus: the OS delivers typing (any layout), paste and copy/cut through it, and its text mirrors Dear ImGui's current selection. Fonts are TTFs rasterized by the ported stb_truetype into the font atlas, which becomes a backend texture like any image (`CreateTexture` works for your own pixels too).
**Input.** Mouse and keys come from `UserInputService`. While the mouse is over Dear ImGui (`io.WantCaptureMouse`), the tiles are `Active`, so clicks and the wheel don't reach the game (camera zoom). Typing comes from key codes by default (printable ASCII). Call `ImGui_ImplRoblox.SetTextProxy(true)` to opt in to a hidden `TextBox` that holds focus while a text field is active: the OS then delivers typing (any layout), paste and copy/cut through it, and its text mirrors Dear ImGui's current selection. Fonts are TTFs rasterized by the ported stb_truetype into the font atlas, which becomes a backend texture like any image (`CreateTexture` works for your own pixels too).
**Instances inside windows.** The backend can place your own Instances (e.g. a `ViewportFrame`) inside a window's layer, so they stack, clip and move with it; see the `ImGui.Embed` widget in [examples/example_roblox/main.client.luau](/examples/example_roblox/main.client.luau).
