style The style to use. If left out, the label style from the current GUISkin is used.

Description

Make a text or texture label on screen.

Labels have no user interaction, do not catch mouse clicks and are always rendered in normal style. If you want to make a control that responds visually to user input, use a Box control.

Example: Draw the classic Hello World! string:


Text label on the Game View.

    function OnGUI () {
        GUI.Label (Rect (10, 10, 100, 20), "Hello World!");
    }
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { void OnGUI() { GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 10, 100, 20), "Hello World!"); } }

Example: Draw a texture on-screen. Labels are also used to display textures, instead of a string, simply pass in a texture:


Texture Label.

    var textureToDisplay : Texture2D;

function OnGUI () { GUI.Label (Rect (10, 40, textureToDisplay.width, textureToDisplay.height), textureToDisplay); }
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { public Texture2D textureToDisplay; void OnGUI() { GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 40, textureToDisplay.width, textureToDisplay.height), textureToDisplay); } }
