Draw XXL documentation


Draw Screenspace.BlinkingLine(...);

Draws a line that blinks between two colors, or between a color and invisible.

The camera which defines the screenspace can be appointed in several ways. One option is: Every function has an overload that is identical except that it takes a Camera as first parameter. Another more convenient option is: If no Camera is supplied then Draw XXL automatically searches for one according to the global DefaultScreenspaceWindowForDrawing setting (which can point to a Gameview camera or a Sceneview camera). Moreover there is the option to apoint a camera once to the global defaultCameraForDrawing field, which also has the effect that no camera has to be supplied as parameter to the actual draw functions.

Green parameters are required. Yellow parameters are optional, but have to be supplied in order.


static void DrawScreenspace.BlinkingLine(...);

Code snippet names: drawScreenBlinkingLine and drawScreenBlinkingLine_func.

Parameters:
Type Parameter Name Description
Vector2 start Viewport space goes from lower-left (= 0,0) to upper-right (= 1,1).
Vector2 end Viewport space goes from lower-left (= 0,0) to upper-right (= 1,1).
Color primaryColor
float blinkDurationInSec
float width_relToViewportHeight
string text
LineStyle style
Color blinkColor
float stylePatternScaleFactor
float endPlatesSize_relToViewportHeight
float alphaFadeOutLength_0to1 With this parameter an effect can be created where the line does not end distincly at the line end position, but slowly fades out towards the line end position. The default value of 0 means that the effect is disabled.
float enlargeSmallTextToThisMinRelTextSize
float durationInSec The duration in seconds how long the drawn thing stays visible. The default value of 0 means that it stays only during the current Update frame. Instead of using this parameter you can also overwrite him with a global setting so you don't always have to supply all other preceding function parameters till you reach this late parameter.


static void DrawScreenspace.BlinkingLine(...);

Code snippet names: drawScreenBlinkingLine_cam and drawScreenBlinkingLine_cam_func.

Parameters:
Type Parameter Name Description
Camera targetCamera This parameter is the only difference to the previous overload. It specifies the camera explicitly instead of relying on DefaultScreenspaceWindowForDrawing or defaultCameraForDrawing.
