GUILayout.BeginArea

Parameters

Description

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.

    function OnGUI () {
        // Starts an area to draw elements
        GUILayout.BeginArea (Rect (10,10,100,100));
        GUILayout.Button ("Click me");
        GUILayout.Button ("Or me");
        GUILayout.EndArea ();
    }

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.
