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));    }}

text
and an image.
