Class GuiComposer

Namespace
Vintagestory.API.Client
Assembly
VintagestoryAPI.dll

Composes a dialog which are made from a set of elements The composed dialog is cached, so to recompose you have to Recompose All elements or instantiate a new composer with doCache set to false The caching allows the dialog using the composer to not worry about performance and just call compose whenever it has to display a new composed dialog You add components by chaining the functions of the composer together for building the result.
