LayoutRoot

Description

Represents a layout root canvas under which all UI views must reside.

Dependency Properties

Name	Type	Description
AdditionalShaderChannels	AdditionalCanvasShaderChannels	Enum mask of possible shader channel properties that can also be included when the Canvas mesh is created.
Alignment	ElementAlignment	Used to align the view relative to the layout parent region it resides in.
Alpha	float	Can be used to adjust the alpha color of this view and all its children. E.g. used for fade in/out animations. Is separate from and different from the background color of the view as it affects the children as well.
BlockingObjects	BlockingObjects	Type of objects that will block graphic raycasts.
BubbleNotifyChildLayoutChanged	bool	Boolean indicating if parent always should be notified when the child changes layout.
CanvasScalerReferencePixelsPerUnit	float	If a sprite has ‘Pixels Per Unit’ setting, one pixel in the sprite will cover one unit in the UI.
CanvasScalerScaleFactor	float	Scales all children within the canvas by this factor.
DefaultSpriteDPI	float	The pixels per inch to use for sprites that have a ‘Pixels Per Unit’ setting that matches the ‘Reference Pixels Per Unit’ setting.
DisableLayoutUpdate	bool	Boolean indicating if automatic layout updates for this view should be disabled. When disabled the view doesn’t call UpdateLayout() when properties such as Width, Height, etc. changes.
DynamicPixelsPerUnit	float	The amount of pixels per unit to use for dynamically created bitmaps in the UI, such as Text.
EnableScriptEvents	bool	Boolean indicating if unity script events (Update, LateUpdate, Awake, etc) should be relayed to the view code-behind through the corresponding methods that can be overriden.
FallbackScreenDPI	float	The DPI to assume if the screen DPI is not known.
GameObject	GameObject	GameObject in the hierarchy that corresponds to the view.
Height	ElementSize	The height of the view in pixels or percents.
IgnoreFlip	bool	Used when doing localization override default behavior of flipping the view Right to Left or Left to Rigth.
IgnoreObject	bool	Boolean indicating if the view should be ignored. Ignored objects don’t run any load logic and don’t respond to property changed events.
IgnoreReversedGraphics	bool	Boolean indicating if graphics facing away from the raycaster should be ignored.
IsActive	bool	Boolean indicating if the view is active. Deactivated views deactivates corresponding game object, components, renderers and scripts.
IsVisible	bool	Boolean indicating if view is visible or hidden. Invisible views still take up space but aren’t interactable and have their alpha set to 0.
LoadMode	LoadMode	Enum flags indicating when and how the view should be loaded by the framework. Can be changed when e.g. the view is to be loaded on-demand.
Margin	ElementMargin	Adding margins to a view changes the size of the area in which its content resides, but it does not change the width or height of the view.
MatchWidthOrHeight	float	Setting to scale the Canvas to match the width or height of the reference resolution, or a combination.
NormalizedSortingGridSize	float	The normalized grid size that the canvas will split the renderable area into.
Offset	ElementMargin	Determines the offset of the view.
OffsetFromParent	ElementMargin	Offset set by a parent view. Used by views like Group to arrange children without changing their own Offset values.
OverrideHeight	ElementSize	Overrides regular Height value. Used to e.g. automatically size items without changing the default Height value set.
OverridePixelPerfect	bool	Allows for nested canvases to override pixelPerfect settings inherited from parent canvases.
OverrideSorting	bool	Override the sorting of canvas.
OverrideWidth	ElementSize	Overrides regular Width value. Used to e.g. automatically size items without changing the default Width value set.
PhysicalUnit	Unit	The physical unit to specify positions and sizes in.
Pivot	Vector2	The pivot point of the view.
PixelPerfect	bool	Force elements in the canvas to be aligned with pixels. Only applies with renderMode is Screen Space.
PlaneDistance	float	How far away from the camera is the Canvas generated.
Position	Vector3	Directly sets the local position of the view relative to parent. Position otherwise set using the Alignment and Offset properties.
RaycastBlockMode	RaycastBlockMode	Enum indicating if raycasts should be blocked.
ReferencePixelsPerUnit	float	The number of pixels per unit that is considered the default.
ReferenceResolution	Vector2	The resolution the UI layout is designed for.
RenderCamera	string	ID of the world camera camera used when rendering the canvas.
RenderMode	RenderMode	Enum indicating if the canvas is in world or overlay mode.
Rotation	Quaternion	Rotation of the view.
Scale	Vector3	Scale of the view.
ScaleFactor	float	Used to scale the entire canvas, while still making it fit the screen. Only applies with renderMode is Screen Space.
ScreenMatchMode	ScreenMatchMode	A mode used to scale the canvas area if the aspect ratio of the current resolution doesn’t fit the reference resolution.
SortingLayerID	int	Unique ID of the Canvas sorting layer.
SortingLayerName	string	Name of the Canvas sorting layer.
SortingOrder	int	Canvas order within a sorting layer.
TargetDisplay	int	For Overlay mode, display index on which the UI canvas will appear.
UiScaleMode	ScaleMode	Determines how UI elements in the Canvas are scaled.
UseFastShader	bool	Boolean indicating if the default UI shader should be replaced by a simpler and faster one. The faster shader does not support masking and clipping.
Width	ElementSize	The width of the view in pixels or percents.
WorldCamera	Camera	Reference to the world camera, is automatically set if RenderCamera is set.
