bevy/crates/bevy_ui/src/picking_backend.rs

//! A picking backend for UI nodes.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! This backend does not require markers on cameras or entities to function. It will look for any
//! pointers using the same render target as the UI camera, and run hit tests on the UI node tree.
//!
//! ## Important Note
//!
//! This backend completely ignores [`FocusPolicy`](crate::FocusPolicy). The design of `bevy_ui`'s
//! focus systems and the picking plugin are not compatible. Instead, use the optional [`Pickable`] component
//! to override how an entity responds to picking focus. Nodes without the [`Pickable`] component
//! will still trigger events and block items below it from being hovered.
//!
//! ## Implementation Notes
//!
//! - `bevy_ui` can only render to the primary window
//! - `bevy_ui` can render on any camera with a flag, it is special, and is not tied to a particular
//!   camera.
//! - To correctly sort picks, the order of `bevy_ui` is set to be the camera order plus 0.5.
//! - The `position` reported in `HitData` is normalized relative to the node, with `(0.,0.,0.)` at
//!   the top left and `(1., 1., 0.)` in the bottom right. Coordinates are relative to the entire
//!   node, not just the visible region. This backend does not provide a `normal`.
