Detailed Description

A world UI is one which can be placed in a particular spot in the game world and seen with the game camera. For example, an in-game computer screen/ billboard etc. It has a pixel height and width, a document (which works just like UI.document does) and can have its resolution and origin changed. The resolution defines how many pixels make up one world unit and the origin defines where the gameobjects origin is relative to the UI. By default, it's in the middle.

Public Member Functions
	WorldUI ()
	Creates a new World UI with 100x100 pixels of space and a name of "new World UI". The gameobjects origin sits at the middle of the UI by default. See PowerUI.WorldUI.SetOrigin. By default, 100 pixels are 1 world unit. See PowerUI.WorldUI.SetResolution. More...

	WorldUI (string name)
	Creates a new World UI with 100x100 pixels of space and the given name. The gameobjects origin sits at the middle of the UI by default. See PowerUI.WorldUI.SetOrigin. By default, 100 pixels are 1 world unit. See PowerUI.WorldUI.SetResolution. More...

	WorldUI (int widthPX, int heightPX)
	Creates a new World UI with the given pixels of space and a name of "new World UI". The gameobjects origin sits at the middle of the UI by default. See PowerUI.WorldUI.SetOrigin. By default, 100 pixels are 1 world unit. See PowerUI.WorldUI.SetResolution. More...

void	CameraChanged ()
	Call this if you change the field of view of the camera looking at a pixel perfect WorldUI. More...

void	UpdateResolution ()
	Flushes resolution changes. Use this after a set resolution method if you want to see your changes on the next update. Note that this is not needed when you've just created your WorldUI or if you're also changing any innerHTML or styles at the same time. Internally this just generates a layout request. More...

virtual void	RenderWithCamera (int id)
	Puts all batches of this renderer into the given unity layer. More...

void	SetDepthResolution (float gaps)
	Sets how many world units are used between elements at different depths. Default is 0.01. You'll generally want this to be as small as possible to make the UI appear flat. Too small though and you'll get z-fighting. You can also use large values if you want to achieve a unique effect. More...

void	SetResolution (int ppw)
	Sets how many Pixels Per World unit this renderer uses. Maps directly to applying a scale. Default is 100. The actual world space size is dictated by this and PowerUI.WorldUI.SetDimensions. The amount of pixels and pixels per world unit (resolution). More...
