Method Render

extern/imgui/imgui.cpp:5526–5589

Prepare the data for rendering so you can call GetDrawData() (As with anything within the ImGui:: namspace this doesn't touch your GPU or graphics API at all: it is the role of the ImGui_ImplXXXX_RenderDrawData() function provided by the renderer backend)
