BeginArea(Rect)
Begin a GUILayout block of GUI controls in a fixed screen area.
public static void BeginArea(Rect screenRect)
Parameters
Remarks
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.
Additional Resources: GUILayout.EndArea
Explained Area of the example.
using UnityEngine;public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour{ void OnGUI() { // Starts an area to draw elements 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.
