The UIGroup property of the TextureInput class in the Editor.ShaderGraph namespace is a string property that is used to categorize or group the texture input within the user interface of the shader graph editor. This property is marked with the JsonIgnore and Hide attributes, indicating that it is not intended to be serialized to JSON and is hidden from the standard UI, respectively.
Since the UIGroup property is marked with JsonIgnore and Hide attributes, it is not typically used directly in user code. It is primarily used internally by the shader graph editor to manage the organization of texture inputs within the UI. If you need to categorize or group texture inputs, consider using other properties or methods provided by the shader graph editor that are intended for public use.
// Example of how the UIGroup property might be used internally // This is not intended for direct use in user code Editor.ShaderGraph.TextureInput textureInput = new Editor.ShaderGraph.TextureInput(); // The UIGroup property is hidden and not intended for direct manipulation // textureInput.UIGroup = "MainTextures"; // This line is not recommended due to the Hide attribute // Instead, use other public properties or methods to manage texture inputs
