Description

Hi,

Trying to integrate ImPlot into my existing ImGui application, but getting a linker error:

My compilation pipeline looks like:

`compile_imgui_debug.bat`
```

When running `compile_debug.bat`, I get linker error:
```
=== .\compile_debug ===
all_in_one.cpp
all_in_one.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl ImPlot::PlotBarGroups(char const * const * const,double const (*)[1],int,int,double,double,int)" (??$PlotBarGroups@$$BY00N@ImPlot@@YAXQEBQEBDPEAY00$$CBNHHNNH@Z) referenced in function "void __cdecl render_debug_info(struct explorer_window &,unsigned __int64)" (?render_debug_info@@YAXAEAUexplorer_window@@_K@Z)
bin\swan_debug.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
```

I drew a diagram in an attempt to find the oversight, but I don't see it...

I'm guessing the problem is somehow related to `ImPlot::PlotBarGroups` being a function template, but I am lost otherwise. I'm clearly unaware of some crucial concept about template compilation, hoping someone here can help...
