Public Methods

AddAdd an Overlay to this canvas. Added Overlays will be displayed in the associated EditorWindow until they are removed.
OnAfterDeserializeInvoked after OverlayCanvas is deserialized.
OnBeforeSerializeInvoked before OverlayCanvas will be serialized. This is used to store Overlay layout data.
RemoveRemove an Overlay from this canvas. Removed Overlays are disassociated from OverlayCanvas and the related EditorWindow, but not destroyed. This means you are able to move a single Overlay between multiple windows.
