# DrawsWorld

### Introduction

The DrawsWorld property controls whether the camera draws objects which are not on any [Layer](https://github.com/flatredball/FlatRedBallDocs/blob/main/frb/docs/index.php) and objects which are on [Layers](https://github.com/flatredball/FlatRedBallDocs/blob/main/frb/docs/index.php) that are not Camera-specific. Usually Cameras which are used to draw things in split-screen mode should have this property be true, while Cameras which are used to overlay things such as HUDs should usually set this to false.

### Code Example

The following example creates a situation where two Cameras are used. In this situation, the second Camera is used to draw HUD. The second Camera will not draw the underlying Sprite: Add the following using statement:

```
using FlatRedBall.Graphics;
```

Add the following to Initialize after initializing FlatRedBall:

```
Sprite sprite = SpriteManager.AddSprite("redball.bmp");
sprite.ScaleX = sprite.ScaleY = 10;

// We'll use a global content manager if we expect the Camera to be around forever
Camera hudCamera = new Camera(FlatRedBallServices.GlobalContentManager);
SpriteManager.Cameras.Add(hudCamera);
hudCamera.SetSplitScreenViewport(Camera.SplitScreenViewport.FullScreen);
// Do this so the Camera doesn't draw the Sprite again!
hudCamera.DrawsWorld = false;

// Now, add a Text object to the HUD camera.
Text text = TextManager.AddText("Score: 1000");
text.X = -19f;
text.Y = 15;
//text.Scale = text.Spacing = 2;
//text.SetPixelPerfectScale(hudCamera);
TextManager.AddToLayer(text, hudCamera.Layer);
```
