InfoPoints allow the easy addition of worldspace UI canvases to your scene. They can be used to show text, images, and video, or any custom UI elements you like.

InfoPoints consist of two parts

1. The trigger: The user clicks on this to activate the InfoPoint. The trigger visual can be configured between a number of different options.
2. The Canvas: When the InfoPoint is activated, the canvas will be activated. This is where the UI elements are held. The InfoPoint will be deactivated when the close button is clicked, reenabling the trigger

InfoPoint Components

The canvas and trigger are automatically created as children of the gameobject the InfoPoint component is attached to. Removing the InfoPoint component will destroy these children.

There are a number of different varieties of InfoPoint to choose from, depending on what you want to do with the canvas. All InfoPoint types provide the same behaviour and configurations for the trigger, and the header bar and close button on the canvas.

The first three InfoPoint types automatically resize their canvases, meaning you cannot change the RectTransform width or height manually. You can however use the scale tool to scale the canvas (or the trigger) if you want them smaller or larger than the default
