Description

Build an empty GUIContent.

static function GUIContent (text : string) : GUIContent

Description

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

function OnGUI () {
GUI.Button (Rect (0, 0, 100, 20), "Click Me");
GUI.Button (Rect (0, 30, 100, 20), GUIContent ("Click Me"));
}

static function GUIContent (image : Texture) : GUIContent

Description

var icon : Texture;

function OnGUI () {
GUI.Button (Rect (0, 0, 100, 20), GUIContent (icon));
}

static function GUIContent (text : string, image : Texture) : GUIContent

Description

var icon : Texture;

function OnGUI () {
GUI.Button (Rect (0,0,100,20), GUIContent ("Click me", icon));
}

static function GUIContent (text : string, tooltip : string) : GUIContent

// If the user hovers the mouse over the button, the global tooltip gets set
GUI.Label (Rect (0, 40, 100, 40), GUI.tooltip);
}
