  • Namespace: UnityEngine
  • Assembly: UnityEngine.CoreModule
public void SetLocalLeft(float value, bool preserveSize = true)

Parameters

value

float
The target x coordinate for the left edge, in the parent's coordinate space.

preserveSize

bool
When true (default), the element translates so the left edge reaches 
value
while width is unchanged. When false, only the left edge moves: the right edge stays fixed and RectTransform.sizeDelta is adjusted to match the new width.

Remarks

When 
preserveSize
is true, adjusts RectTransform.anchoredPosition so that RectTransform.GetLocalLeft returns 
value
; the element's size (RectTransform.sizeDelta) and right edge are not affected. When 
preserveSize
is false, the right edge remains at its current position and the width is resized to reach 
value
.
