The PaintComponentIcon method is a static extension method provided by the SceneExtensions class in the Sandbox namespace. This method is used to render an icon for a component within a specified rectangular area on the screen, with a given opacity level. It is particularly useful for visualizing components in a scene editor or similar graphical interface.
To use the PaintComponentIcon method, you need to provide the following parameters:
td: A TypeDescription object that describes the type of the component for which the icon is to be painted.rect: A Rect structure that defines the rectangular area on the screen where the icon should be drawn.opacity: A float value representing the opacity of the icon, where 1.0 is fully opaque and 0.0 is fully transparent.This method does not return a value.
// Example usage of PaintComponentIcon TypeDescription componentType = new TypeDescription(typeof(MyComponent)); Rect iconRect = new Rect(10, 10, 32, 32); // x, y, width, height float iconOpacity = 0.8f; // 80% opacity SceneExtensions.PaintComponentIcon(componentType, iconRect, iconOpacity);
