GML Basic Syntax

Description

How to write GML using proper syntax.

Basic Syntax

Each widget begins with @GUI::, with the name of the widget following. To define the properties of this widget, we follow with curly brackets and a list of properties.

Properties

A property's value is required to be in the property's set type:

• int
• bool
• string
• readonly_string
• enum
• font_weight
• text_alignment
• text_wrapping
• rect
• size
• margins

Properties are never ended with ; or ,, and the property name is never enclosed in quotes or double quotes.

Properties are always surrounded by curly brackets (e.g. {}). If no properties are set however, no brackets are required.

Examples

@GUI::Widget {
    name: "my_first_widget"
}
