◆ GetCanvasSize()

virtual AZ::Vector2 UiCanvasInterface::GetCanvasSize ( )

pure virtual

Returns the "target" size of the canvas (in pixels)

The target canvas size changes depending on whether you're running in the UI Editor or in-game. While in-game, we assume that the canvas size fills the screen, so the target canvas size is the size of the viewport. When using the editor, however, the target size is the "authored" size of the canvas. The canvas is authored in one resolution, but it may be displayed by the game at whatever the game resolution is set to.

		const AZStd::string &	sourceAssetPathname
	)

pure virtual

Save this canvas to the given path in XML

◆ SetEnabled()

virtual void UiCanvasInterface::SetEnabled ( bool enabled )

pure virtual

Set flag that governs whether the canvas is enabled.

A canvas that's enabled will be updated and rendered each frame.

◆ SetTargetCanvasSize()

virtual void UiCanvasInterface::SetTargetCanvasSize	(	bool	isInGame,
		const AZ::Vector2 &	targetCanvasSize
	)

pure virtual

Set the target size of the canvas (in pixels)

This should be called before the UpdateCanvas and RenderCanvas methods. When running in game in full screen mode the target canvas size should be set to the viewport size
