GUILayout

class in UnityEngine

/

Implemented in:UnityEngine.IMGUIModule

Description

The GUILayout class is the interface for Unity gui with automatic layout. Unlike the standard GUI class which requires manual coordinates, GUILayout arranges controls based on their content and container.

// This example creates a simple UI using the IMGUI system.
using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour { private string playerName = ""; private int playerAge = 0;

void OnGUI() { // Begin a horizontal group GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();

// Add GUI elements that will be arranged horizontally GUILayout.Label("Name: ", GUILayout.Width(50)); playerName = GUILayout.TextField(playerName, GUILayout.Width(100));

GUILayout.Label("Age: ", GUILayout.Width(40)); playerAge = int.Parse(GUILayout.TextField(playerAge.ToString(), GUILayout.Width(30)));

// End the horizontal group GUILayout.EndHorizontal(); } }
