GUIContent()

Constructor for GUIContent in all shapes and sizes.
public GUIContent()

Remarks

Build an empty GUIContent.

GUIContent(string)

Build a GUIContent object containing only text.
public GUIContent(string text)

text

string

Remarks

When using the GUI, you don't need to create GUIContents for simple text strings - these two lines of code are functionally equivalent:

Examples

using UnityEngine;public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour{    void OnGUI()    {        GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 0, 100, 20), "Click Me");        GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 30, 100, 20), new GUIContent("Click Me"));    }}

GUIContent(Texture)

Build a GUIContent object containing only an image.
public GUIContent(Texture image)

Parameters

image

Texture

Examples

using UnityEngine;public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour{    public Texture icon;    void OnGUI()    {        GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 30, 100, 20), new GUIContent(icon));    }}

GUIContent(string, Texture)

Build a GUIContent object containing both text and an image.
public GUIContent(string text, Texture image)

Parameters

text

string

image

Texture

Examples

using UnityEngine;public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour{    public Texture icon;    void OnGUI()    {        GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 30, 100, 20), new GUIContent("Click me", icon));    }}

GUIContent(string, string)

Build a GUIContent containing some text. When the user hovers the mouse over it, the global GUI.tooltip is set to the tooltip.

using UnityEngine;public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour{    void OnGUI()    {        GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 0, 100, 20), new GUIContent("Click me", "This is the tooltip"));        // If the user hovers the mouse over the button, the global tooltip gets set        GUI.Label(new Rect(0, 40, 100, 40), GUI.tooltip);    }}
