Description
The Grid Layout Group component places its child layout elements in a grid. Unlike other layout groups, the Grid Layout Group ignore the minimum, preferred, and flexible size properties of its contained layout elements and instead assign a fixed size to all of them which is defined in the properties of the Grid Layout Group itself.
Note: As a layout element, the Grid Layout Group will always set its preferred width to be the width needed to have all the layout elements be positioned side by side, regardless of what the Start Axis property is set to. Since the auto layout system always evaluates widths first and heights afterwards, it’s not possible to calculate a needed width given a constrained height.
