Unity Script Reference – GUILayout.Space

GUILayout.Space

static function Space (pixels : float) : void

Description

Insert a space in the current layout group.

The direction of the space is dependent on the layout group you're currently in when issuing the command. If in a vertical group, the space will be vertical: Note: This will override the GUILayout.ExpandWidth and GUILayout.ExpandHeight

Space of 20px between two buttons.

JavaScript

function OnGUI () {
    GUILayout.Button ("I'm the first button");

    // Insert 20 pixels of space between the 2 buttons.
    GUILayout.Space (20);
        
    GUILayout.Button ("I'm a bit further down");
}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class example : MonoBehaviour {
    void OnGUI() {
        GUILayout.Button("I'm the first button");
        GUILayout.Space(20);
        GUILayout.Button("I'm a bit further down");
    }
}

import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

class example(MonoBehaviour):

    def OnGUI():
        GUILayout.Button('I\'m the first button')
        GUILayout.Space(20)
        GUILayout.Button('I\'m a bit further down')

In horizontal groups, the pixels are measured horizontally:

JavaScript

function OnGUI () {
    GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
        GUILayout.Button ("I'm the first button");

        // Insert 20 pixels of space between the 2 buttons.
        GUILayout.Space (20);
        
        GUILayout.Button ("I'm the second button");
    GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class example : MonoBehaviour {
    void OnGUI() {
        GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
        GUILayout.Button("I'm the first button");
        GUILayout.Space(20);
        GUILayout.Button("I'm the second button");
        GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
    }
}
