Initialize

public void Initialize(Color col, CanleyColourController controller)

• Description: The setup method called immediately after the swatch is spawned. It binds the swatch to a specific color and connects it to the central controller for communication.
• Parameters:
  • col: The Unity Color this swatch will represent and store.
  • controller: A reference to the active CanleyColourController that this swatch will report to when clicked or deleted.
• Workflow:
  1. Color Assignment: Sets the internal color and updates the Image component visuals.
  2. Linkage: Establishes the reference to the controller.
  3. Visual Validation: Checks if the color is transparent and toggles the alpha-checkerboard background if necessary.
• Returns: void

TIP

If you are building a custom palette loader, ensure you call Initialize immediately after Instantiate to prevent NullReferenceExceptions when the user interacts with the swatch.
