🎒 Examples

-- Spawns a Canvas
local my_canvas = Canvas(
true,
Color.TRANSPARENT,
0,
true
)

-- Subscribes for Update, we can only Draw inside this event
my_canvas:Subscribe("Update", function(self, width, height)
-- Draws a Text in the middle of the screen
self:DrawText("Hello World!", Vector2D(width / 2, height / 2))

-- Draws a red line Horizontally
self:DrawLine(Vector2D(0, height / 2), Vector2D(width, height / 2), 10, Color.RED)
end)

-- Forces the canvas to repaint, this will make it trigger the Update event
my_canvas:Repaint()

-- Applies the Canvas material into a Prop
any_prop:SetMaterialFromCanvas(my_canvas)
tip

You can use the output Texture from a Canvas with :SetMaterialFromCanvas() method!
