<function name="Paint" parent="PANEL" type="hook"> <ishook>yes</ishook> <description> Called whenever the panel should be drawn. You can create panels with a customized appearance by overriding their Paint() function, which will prevent the default appearance from being drawn. <note>Render operations from the <page>surface</page> (and consequentially the <page>draw</page>) are always offset by the global position of this panel, as seen in the example below</note> <note>This hook will not run if the panel is completely off the screen. The hook will still run however if any parts of the panel are still on screen.</note> </description> <realm>Client</realm> <predicted>No</predicted> <args> <arg name="width" type="number">The panel&#x27;s width.</arg> <arg name="height" type="number">The panel&#x27;s height.</arg> <arg name="width" type="number">The panel's width.</arg> <arg name="height" type="number">The panel's height.</arg> </args> <rets> <ret name="" type="boolean">Returning true prevents the background from being drawn.</ret> </rets> </function> <example> <description>Creates a DPanel and overrides its Paint() function to draw a 100x100 pixel black rounded box in the center of the screen.</description> <code> local panel = vgui.Create( "DPanel" ) panel:SetSize( 100, 100 ) panel:SetPos( ScrW() / 2 - 50, ScrH() / 2 - 50 ) function panel:Paint( w, h ) draw.RoundedBox( 8, 0, 0, w, h, Color( 0, 0, 0 ) ) end </code> </example>
