Description
I am new to polyscope and per my initial evaluation, it looks really great for use as a 3d visualization tool in my projects.
However, I am heavily invested in using the GUI toolkit FLTK for UI's in my current code.
Could you please implement an FLTK backend in addition to the GLFW + ImGUI one you already provide? It already provides a wrapper class for opengl windows, called FL_Gl_Window. Moreover, it's rich set of GUI widgets (buttons, slider, menus, etc.) can be used anywhere on that window (meaning ImGUI is not needed).
The released version of FLTK I use is 1.4 although I also use the "bleeding edge" version 1.5, so either works fine for me. Both are available as source repos on github.
Thank you for considering this!

Research direction
Start by reading Polyscope's existing GLFW + ImGui backend and the FLTK FL_Gl_Window documentation. Determine how an FLTK backend would integrate with the current viewer and widget model. Done means an FLTK-based OpenGL window backend is available alongside the existing backend, with FLTK widgets usable in the window.
