Runtime Objects (GraphicalUiElement Deriving)

Introduction

MonoGameGum provides common runtime types which can be used to build your layouts. The runtime objects correspond to the standard objects in the Gum tool. These provide a type-safe, expressive way of creating and working with Gum. The following runtime objects exist:

• ColoredRectangleRuntime

• ContainerRuntime

• NineSliceRuntime

• SpriteRuntime

• TextRuntime

Notice that at the time of this writing, only a subset of Gum standard types are available. This is likely to expand over time.

Gum "Standard" types

All runtime objects inherit from GraphicalUiElement, which is the base class for all Gum objects. Therefore, all runtime objects share the same properties for position (such as X and XUnits), size (such as Width and WidthUnits), and rotation.

For a reference to the type of properties available on GraphicalUiElement, see the Gum Elements General Properties section. For information about working with GraphicalUiElement properties in code, see the GraphicalUiElement reference.
