Canvas Guide

Ruler guide for pipeline


A canvas guide can be used to easily position / snap a TextureGenerator Icon 2D Generator , a ShapeLayer Icon Shape layer or a TextLayer Icon Text layer relative to it.

Currently these can only be created in a ContentMap Icon Content Map or in a Scene2dMapping Icon 2D Scene Mapping

To create a guide, all you need to do is to :

CreateCanvasRuler CreateCanvasRuler

The line will be given a random color, wich you can change.

Also you can reposition the guide with it’s position parameter. The unit (% or px) will change depending on the Unit Selector .

You can link the position of any 2D layer to that of a Canvas Guide, wich can be very useful for easily repositionning many linked elements, by simply changing the guide’s position.
