5.
Set the
Width
of the
HorizontalLayoutGroup
GameObject to
300
(
3 children = 3 x 100
width children as it will auto resize its children
Rect Transforms
).
6.
Right-click the
HorizontalLayoutGroup
GameObject and add three child.
Image controls (UI | Image), I named them
Child1
,
Child2
, and
Child3
.
(
UI
|
Image
).
7.
Set the
Source Image
of each child to a
Sprite
of your choice (I borrowed the
Unity 128 x 128 logo as an example, which is included in the topic sample
assets download).
This would result in the following view:
An example showing 3 sprites arranged horizontally by the layout group
The resulting view shows three child Unity logos arranged side by side organized
by the
Horizontal Layout Group
component automatically.
This is a very basic example, but we will cover more advanced layouts later in
the topic.
Note: By default, the layout group will resize the child elements to fit
within the area defined by the group's
Rect Transform
, to alter this you
will need to either resize the group to fit its content or use
Layout Element
or
Content
Size Fitter
components described in the sections that follow.
The three 128 x 128 Unity logo's in this example got resized down
to 100 x 100.
