# Position Visualizer

A Unity utility to visualize positions in the scene view. Debug spatial

relationships, visualize algorithm outputs, or mark important positions in your

scene.

![Position Visualizer](Documentation~/position-visualizer.gif)

## Installation

Add the package to your project via

[UPM](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/upm-ui.html) using the Git URL

https://github.com/mminer/position-visualizer.git. You can also clone the

repository and point UPM to your local copy.

## Usage

After installing the package, the **VP** (Visualize Position) button

appears in the scene view toolbar. Click this to open the overlay.

From the overlay, add points by entering X, Y, and Z coordinates and clicking

"Add". Click "Clear" to remove all points.

Points are automatically saved to EditorPrefs and restored when Unity restarts.

Visualized points are editor-only and will not affect builds.

### Scripting API

You can also add points programmatically.

```csharp

using PositionVisualizer;

...

Points.Add(new[] {

    new Vector3(1, 0, 0),

    new Vector3(0, 4, 0),

    new Vector3(6, 0, 2)

});

Points.Clear();

```

## Preferences

The appearance of points — color, size, and so forth — can be customized in the

*Position Visualizer* section of Unity's preferences.

![Preferences](Documentation~/preferences.png)

  - **Randomize**: When enabled, assigns random colors to new points
