After calling require( "styled_draw_utils" ), the table SDrawUtils becomes available
in global context, and provides the following functions:
color = SDrawUtils.ModifyColorBrightness(color: Color, brightness: number)A shortcut to modify a color's HSV value (brightness). Returns the modified color.
id, rt = SDrawUtils.AllocateRT()As of writing, render targets cannot be destroyed in Garry's Mod. If you ever need to frequently create/remove render targets at random, this function makes sure you're reusing them.
Returns a id string you should keep to free this RT later, and the RT's ITexture.
SDrawUtils.FreeRT(id: string)Marks a render target as "free" to be reused. The id string comes from SDrawUtils.AllocateRT.
SDrawUtils.DrawFilledCircle(radius: number, x: number, y: number, color: Color)Draw a filled circle. Works with floating point positions.
SDrawUtils.DrawTexturedRectRotated(x: number, y: number, w: number, h: number, angle: number, color: Color)Draw a textured, rotated rectangle. Drop-in replacement for surface.DrawTexturedRectRotated, but works with floating point positions.
SDrawUtils.URLTexturedRectRotated(url: string, x: number, y: number, w: number, h: number, angle: number, color: Color)Draw a textured, rotated rectangle, where the texture comes from the internet.
If the url does not start with http(s)://, it will attempt to cache and use a local image instead, so this function can also be used as a easier way to draw icons.
-- this will download, cache and draw a image from the internet
SDrawUtils.URLTexturedRectRotated( "https://cdn3.emoji.gg/emojis/2319-astonished-cat.png", 8, 8, 32, 32, 0, color_white )
-- this will cache and draw a image from the game materials folder
SDrawUtils.URLTexturedRectRotated( "icon16/bomb.png", 8, 8, 32, 32, 0, color_white )
