GUIContent.GUIContent

Description

Constructor for GUIContent in all shapes and sizes.

Build an empty GUIContent.

Description

Build a GUIContent object containing only text.

When using the GUI, you don't need to create GUIContents for simple text strings - these two lines of code are functionally equivalent:

	function OnGUI () {
		GUI.Button (Rect (0, 0, 100, 20), "Click Me");
		GUI.Button (Rect (0, 30, 100, 20), GUIContent ("Click Me"));
	}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void OnGUI() {
        GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 0, 100, 20), "Click Me");
        GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 30, 100, 20), new GUIContent("Click Me"));
    }
}

import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

public class ExampleClass(MonoBehaviour):

	def OnGUI() as void:
		GUI.Button(Rect(0, 0, 100, 20), 'Click Me')
		GUI.Button(Rect(0, 30, 100, 20), GUIContent('Click Me'))

Description

Build a GUIContent object containing only an image.

	var icon : Texture;
	function OnGUI () {
		GUI.Button (Rect (0, 0, 100, 20), GUIContent (icon));
	}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    public Texture icon;
    void OnGUI() {
        GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 0, 100, 20), new GUIContent(icon));
    }
}

import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

public class ExampleClass(MonoBehaviour):

	public icon as Texture

	def OnGUI() as void:
		GUI.Button(Rect(0, 0, 100, 20), GUIContent(icon))

Description

Build a GUIContent object containing both text and an image.

	var icon : Texture;
	function OnGUI () {
		GUI.Button (Rect (0,0,100,20), GUIContent ("Click me", icon));
	}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    public Texture icon;
    void OnGUI() {
        GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 0, 100, 20), new GUIContent("Click me", icon));
    }
}

import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

public class ExampleClass(MonoBehaviour):

	public icon as Texture

	def OnGUI() as void:
		GUI.Button(Rect(0, 0, 100, 20), GUIContent('Click me', icon))

Description

Build a GUIContent containing some text. When the user hovers the mouse over it, the global GUI.tooltip is set to the tooltip.

	function OnGUI () {
		GUI.Button (Rect (0, 0, 100, 20), GUIContent ("Click me", "This is the tooltip"));
		
		// If the user hovers the mouse over the button, the global tooltip gets set
		GUI.Label (Rect (0, 40, 100, 40), GUI.tooltip);
	}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void OnGUI() {
        GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 0, 100, 20), new GUIContent("Click me", "This is the tooltip"));
        GUI.Label(new Rect(0, 40, 100, 40), GUI.tooltip);
