Description

Gizmos are used to give visual debugging or setup aids in the Scene view.

All gizmo drawing has to be done in either MonoBehaviour.OnDrawGizmos or MonoBehaviour.OnDrawGizmosSelected functions of the script. MonoBehaviour.OnDrawGizmos is called when the Scene view or Game view is repainted. All gizmos that render in MonoBehaviour.OnDrawGizmos are pickable. MonoBehaviour.OnDrawGizmosSelected is called only if the object the script is attached to is selected.
