The Slate prefab offers a thin window style control for displaying 2D content, for example plain text or articles including media. It offers a grabbable title bar as well as Follow Me and Close functionality. The content window can be scrolled via articulated hand input.
A slate control is composed of the following elements:
- TitleBar: The entire title bar on top of the slate.
- Title: The title area on the left side of the title bar.
- Buttons: The button area on the right side of the title bar.
- BackPlate: The back side of the slate.
- ContentQuad: Content is assigned as material. The example uses a sample material 'PanContent'.
A slate control contains a bounding box script for scaling and rotating. For more information on bounding box, please see the Bounding box page.
A standard slate offers two buttons as default on the top right of the title bar:
- Follow Me: Toggles an orbital solver components to make the slate object follow the user.
- Close: Disables the slate object.
