I put the docs in related and hierarchical, here

It's just text with titles, but it will help the brain grasp Unity's systems instead of trying to memorize an entire list. Like the poor fellow who tries to memorize Kanji letters one by one, when they should be writing whole words in a journal for better memory.

Meta, Unity, my coworkers and I all believe you've just been growing too fast to keep up with docs, no hard feelings .

Edit: Oh yes, some classes marked as "not in unity namespace -n" control classes that are in the namespace. I was wondering just what that is and if/why/how it matters and any examples, thanks!

I use code insertion to maintain the spacing. nodoc and out of order (NS stuff) might be worth creating a bug for. The Object subclasses are marked with ---- and not in relational order, just by subclassing. I have to figure out how to do that, and some of the graphics, 3D, and similar classes are in Misc since I couldn't tell where they should go. I might keep them under Object but rearranged, and eventually hope to make HTML pages where I put in related topics.

I did not know some of these classes were animation-related, so I did learn valuable things by not having this in flat order. I hope others will benefit from this hierarchy and also change it to improve. If not, I will continue. My next step is to eliminate superclass functions within the descriptions, and to group functions by what they do within classes. That will take a lot longer, and I'll have to write html for every page. Not looking forward to it, but I can prototype applications in iOS within hours thanks to similar memorization of how it works, and I want that speed in unity, so I'm doing this

Oh, and I couldn't find anything on sprites in the manual, it's all scattered. I think the tutorials are the only place for it, not that I need it at the moment, just went to brush up and couldn't find sprite info, like rendering order and how to use, etc. I already know how to use it and 2d colliders, just seems disjointed to not have it in a findable area. Ok, sounds like I'm critiquing too much, here's your gift:

Hey, I'm trying to find a decent way to copy and paste the functions yet they're in a table so I can't group them without individually copying every cell then rearranging it in a word document. I'm assuming your docs are generated via php or perl or another script? Mind modifying that and handing some docs that are easier to rearrange? This is taking a ridiculous amount of time for a small number of classes.

In the meantime I'll just rearrange the inherited list into the category list.

Thanks

 

Here's the version with pure categories.
Suggested edits: Graphics vs shaders vs objects that affect graphics.
2D Category including physics objects.
NavMesh stuff, and perhaps re-organizing into subclasses.
But with this, it's easy to start.
