Remarks

UPointSetComponent is a Component that draws a set of points, as small squares. Per-point Color and (view-space) Size is supported. Normals are not supported.

Points are inserted with an externally-defined ID, internally this is done via a TSparseArray. This class allocates a contiguous TArray large enugh to hold the largest ID. Using ReservePoints() may be beneficial for huge arrays.

The points are drawn as two triangles (ie a square) orthogonal to the view direction. The actual point size is calculated in the shader, and so a custom material must be used.
