# Gizmos

> Gizmos are used to give visual debugging or setup aids in the Scene view.

## Definition

* **Type:** Class
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public sealed class Gizmos
```

## Remarks

All gizmo drawing has to be done in either [MonoBehaviour.OnDrawGizmos()](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/monobehaviour/ondrawgizmos.md) or [MonoBehaviour.OnDrawGizmosSelected()](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/monobehaviour/ondrawgizmosselected.md) functions of the script. [MonoBehaviour.OnDrawGizmos()](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/monobehaviour/ondrawgizmos.md) is called when the Scene view or Game view is repainted. All gizmos that render in [MonoBehaviour.OnDrawGizmos()](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/monobehaviour/ondrawgizmos.md) are pickable. [MonoBehaviour.OnDrawGizmosSelected()](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/monobehaviour/ondrawgizmosselected.md) is called only if the object the script is attached to is selected.

| [color](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/gizmos/color.md)         | Sets the [Color](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/color.md) of the gizmos that are drawn next.                                                                          |
| [exposure](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/gizmos/exposure.md)   | Set a texture that contains the exposure correction for LightProbe gizmos. The value is sampled from the red channel in the middle of the texture.                                 |

| [probeSize](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/gizmos/probesize.md) | Set a scale for Light Probe gizmos. This scale will be used to render the spherical harmonic preview spheres.                                                                      |
