public static method GUIToScreenPoint(guiPoint: Vector2): Vector2;
public static Vector2 GUIToScreenPoint(Vector2 guiPoint);

Description

Convert a point from GUI position to screen space.

Note: In Unity the screen space y coordinate varies from zero at the top edge of the window to a maximum at the bottom edge of the window. This is different from what you might expect.

See Also: GUIUtility.ScreenToGUIPoint.

    // Converts a GUICoordinate (afected by a group) to a Screen coordinate.

    function OnGUI () {
        var gPos : Vector2 = Vector2(10,10);
        GUI.BeginGroup (Rect (10,10,100,100));
        var convertedGUIPos : Vector2 = GUIUtility.GUIToScreenPoint(gPos);
        GUI.EndGroup ();
        Debug.Log("GUI: " + gPos + " Screen: " + convertedGUIPos);
    }
