public static function DrawPreviewTexture(position: Rect, image: Texture, mat: Material = null, scaleMode: ScaleMode = ScaleMode.StretchToFill, imageAspect: float = 0): void;
public static void DrawPreviewTexture(Rect position, Texture image, Material mat = null, ScaleMode scaleMode = ScaleMode.StretchToFill, float imageAspect = 0);

Parameters

position Rectangle on the screen to draw the texture within.
image Texture to display.
mat Material to be used when drawing the texture.
scaleMode How to scale the image when the aspect ratio of it doesn't fit the aspect ratio to be drawn within.
imageAspect Aspect ratio to use for the source image. If 0 (the default), the aspect ratio from the image is used.

Description

Draws the texture within a rectangle.

If mat is null (the default), an appropriate material will be chosen for a RGBM or doubleLDR lightmap or a normal map and the fallback blit material will be chosen otherwise.
