public GUIContent()
public GUIContent();
Description
Constructor for GUIContent in all shapes and sizes.
Build an empty GUIContent.
public GUIContent(text:
string)
public GUIContent(string text);
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"));
}
}
Description
Build a GUIContent object containing only an image.
public

public
GUIContent(string
text,
Texture image);
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));
}
}
public GUIContent(text:
string,
tooltip: string)
public GUIContent(string text,
string tooltip);
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);
}
}
