Description

Make an auto-layout box.

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 (BeginHorizontal, BeginVertical, BeginArea, etc...).


Boxes in the Game View.

using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour { Texture tex;

void OnGUI() { if (!tex) { Debug.LogError("Missing texture, assign a texture in the inspector"); } GUILayout.Box(tex); GUILayout.Box("This is an sized label"); } }
