Function documentation

template<class ... Layers>
Magnum::Ui::BasicUserInterface<Layers>::BasicUserInterface(const Vector2& size, const Vector2i& screenSize) explicit

Constructor.

Parameters
size User interface size
screenSize Actual screen size

All positioning and sizing inside the interface is done in regard to size, without taking actual screen size into account. This allows to have DPI-independent sizes.

template<class ... Layers>
void Magnum::Ui::BasicUserInterface<Layers>::update()

Update the interface.

Calls BasicPlane::update() on all planes in the interface. Called automatically at the beginning of draw(), but scheduling it explicitly in a different place might reduce the need for CPU/GPU synchronization.
