Begin a GUILayout block of GUI controls in a fixed screen area.
By default, any GUI controls made using GUILayout are placed in the top-left corner of the screen.
If you want to place a series of automatically laid out controls in an arbitrary area, use GUILayout.BeginArea to define a new area for the automatic layouting system to use.
See Also: EndArea
Explained Area of the example.
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { void OnGUI() { GUILayout.BeginArea(new Rect(10, 10, 100, 100)); GUILayout.Button("Click me"); GUILayout.Button("Or me"); GUILayout.EndArea(); } }
This function is very useful when mixing GUILayout code. It must be matched with a call to EndArea. BeginArea / EndArea cannot be nested.
