## Box(Texture, GUILayoutOption\[])

Make an auto-layout box.

```csharp
public static void Box(Texture image, params GUILayoutOption[] options)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[Texture]\(/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/texture)): [Texture](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/texture.md) to display on the box.**** (\[GUILayoutOption\[]]\(/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/guilayoutoption)): An optional list of layout options that specify extra layouting properties. Any values passed in here will override settings defined by the `style`.\
 [GUILayout.MaxHeight](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/maxheight.md), [GUILayout.ExpandWidth](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/expandwidth.md), [GUILayout.ExpandHeight](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/expandheight.md)

### Remarks

This will make a box that contains static text or images but not other GUI controls. If you want to make a rectangular container for a set of GUI controls, use one of the grouping functions ([GUILayout.BeginHorizontal](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/beginhorizontal.md), [GUILayout.BeginVertical](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/beginvertical.md), [GUILayout.BeginArea](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/beginarea.md), etc...).
