# GUILayout.AreaScope

> Disposable helper class for managing GUILayout.BeginArea / GUILayout.EndArea.

## Definition

* **Type:** Class
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.IMGUIModule
* **Inherits from:** Scope
* **Implements:** [IDisposable](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.idisposable)

```csharp
public class GUILayout.AreaScope : GUI.Scope, IDisposable
```

## Remarks

[GUILayout.BeginArea](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/beginarea.md) is called at construction, and [GUILayout.EndArea](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/endarea.md) is called when the instance is disposed. 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](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/beginarea.md) to define a new area for the automatic layouting system to use.

## Examples

```csharp

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    void OnGUI()
    {
        using (var areaScope = new GUILayout.AreaScope(new Rect(10, 10, 100, 100)))
        {
            GUILayout.Button("Click me");
            GUILayout.Button("Or me");
        }
