Component:RectTransform

RectTransform component as seen in the Scene Inspector

The RectTransform component defines what space a slot with UIX components on it will use, based on the total amount of space that has been provided. This is mostly used to encapsulate elements with inside it, then provides options to anchor, offset, and pivot the placement of the RectTransform container.

When smoothly changing this component's values it will not act with the intended effect. Use Component:RectTransformLerp instead.

Fields

Name	Type	Description
persistent	Bool	Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server.
UpdateOrder	Int	Controls the order in which this component is updated.

AnchorMin	Float2	The normalized position (0 to 1) in the parent object that the lower left corner is anchored to.
AnchorMax	Float2	The normalized position (0 to 1) in the parent object that the upper right corner is anchored to.
OffsetMin	Float2	The offset of the lower left corner of the rectangle relative to the lower left anchor, in pixels.
OffsetMax	Float2	The offset of the upper right corner of the rectangle relative to the upper right anchor, in pixels.
Pivot	Float2	The normalized position in this rectangle that it rotates around.

Usage

This can be used for placements inside your canvas or other upper elements, for your images or other lower elements for this container component.

When attempting to duplicate a RectTransform, the new RectTransform will remove itself from the slot.
