Description

Provides access to a display / screen for rendering operations.

Multi-display rendering is available on PC (Windows/Mac/Linux), iOS and Android.

Use the Display class to operate on the displays themselves, and Camera.targetDisplay to set up cameras for rendering to individual displays.

See Also: Camera.targetDisplay, Canvas.targetDisplay.

void Start()
{
    // GUI is rendered with last camera.
    // As we want it to end up in the main screen, make sure main camera is the last one drawn.
    extCam.depth = camera.depth - 1;

camera.SetTargetBuffers(Display.main.colorBuffer, Display.main.depthBuffer); extCam.enabled = false; }

void Update() { if(Display.displays.Length > 1 && !extCam.enabled) { Display.displays[1].SetRenderingResolution(256,256); extCam.SetTargetBuffers(Display.displays[1].colorBuffer, Display.displays[1].depthBuffer); } extCam.enabled = Display.displays.Length > 1; }
