Class TextureCreator

This class dynamically creates textures at runtime. For example, we take textures like hexagons as input and print a variable number of pins onto it. The class also uses the generated textures to create materials.

Methods

GetHexagonBaseTextureWithPins(int, ViewType)

Creates a texture from one of the base hexagon textures and dots which represent the pins. The pins are merged on top of the original hexagon to get a figure with pins.

Declaration

private static Texture2D GetHexagonBaseTextureWithPins(int pinsPerSide, ViewType viewType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
int	pinsPerSide	The amount of pins per side.
ViewType	viewType	The view type, e.g. the standard hexagon or the circular view. Please only use Hexagonal and HexagonalCirc here (the hexagonal base grid view), Circular (the graph view) is not meant to work.

Returns

Type	Description
Texture2D	A texture containing a hexagon or circle based on viewType with pinsPerSide pins on each of its six edges.

GetHexagonWithPinsMaterial(int, ViewType)

Creates the material with the generated texture for the pins with the visible hexagon. Read the method doc of GetHexagonBaseTextureWithPins(int, ViewType) to gain more info.

Declaration

public static Material GetHexagonWithPinsMaterial(int pinsPerSide, ViewType viewType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
int	pinsPerSide	The amount of pins per side.
ViewType	viewType	The view type, Hexagonal or HexagonalCirc, not Circular!

Returns

Type	Description
Material	The material used to draw particles with pinsPerSide pins in the hexagonal view type viewType.

GetPinBorderMaterial(int, ViewType)

Creates the material with the generated texture for the pins with the invisible hexagon. Read the method doc to GetPinBorderTexture(int, bool, bool, int, bool, ViewType) to gain more info.

Declaration

public static Material GetPinBorderMaterial(int pinsPerSide, ViewType viewType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
int	pinsPerSide	The amount of pins per side.
ViewType	viewType	The view type, Hexagonal or HexagonalCirc, not Circular!

Returns

Type	Description
Material	A material that only renders pins, only while the particle is not moving.

GetPinBorderTexture(int, bool, bool, int, bool, ViewType)

This thing creates a texture from a transparent texture and dots which represent the pins. The pins are merged on top of the original transparent texture to get a texture with pins. This is done to lay this texture with a mesh on top of the original hexagon, so we can fit circuits in between the two meshes and give the impression that all is one connected component.

Declaration

private static Texture2D GetPinBorderTexture(int pinsPerSide, bool omitSide, bool omit3Pins, int omittedSide, bool isTex1, ViewType viewType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
int	pinsPerSide	The amount of pins per side.
bool	omitSide	Whether one side's pins should be omitted.
bool	omit3Pins	Whether three pins should be omitted (the omittedSide and the two neighboring sides).
int	omittedSide	The side of the omitted pin/s.
bool	isTex1	Whether this is texture 1 of the 2 possible texture positions in the final shader. One of the two textures is used for the stationary part and one for the moving part during an animation.
ViewType	viewType	The type of the base hexagon texture. Circular and hexagonal forms have different pin positions. Accepted inputs: Hexagonal or HexagonalCirc, but not Circular!

Returns

Type	Description
Texture2D	A transparent texture with the specified pins.

GetPinBorderTextureEmpty()

Declaration

private static Texture2D GetPinBorderTextureEmpty()

Returns

Type	Description
Texture2D
