Research direction

Start at polyscope\src\view.cpp line 604 and inspect the ImGui::SliderFloat call reported by the compiler, comparing it with the shown ImGui::DragFloat usage. Rebuild polyscope to confirm the overload ambiguity is resolved and the viewer still builds successfully.

Description

When I built it, I reported it wrong:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error (active) E0308 more than one instance of overloaded function "ImGui::SliderFloat" matches the argument list: polyscope polyscope\src\view.cpp 604

Such as ImGui::DragFloat
// Modulo stripey width
if (ImGui::DragFloat("period", &checkerSize.get(), .001, 0.0001, 1.0, "%.4f", 2.0)) {
setCheckerSize(getCheckerSize());
}
