Trying to place an UI Canvas Image next to another UI Image
I've been trying to place 2 images on my canvas. Both image (ImageA, ImageB) will be side by side of each other. I get ImageA's width and move ImageB by half of the width. This is the code I currently have.
float posX= Screen.width * 0.18f; // arbitrary offset from the left side of the screen
float posY= Screen.height * 0.2f;
ImageA.GetComponent<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition= new Vector3(posX, posY);
widthOffSet -= ImageA.GetComponent<RectTransform>().rect.width * 0.5f;
ImageB.GetComponent().anchoredPosition= new Vector3(posX, posY);
However, the 2 Images are overlapping each other, and by a fair amount. Is this not how you offset an image from another image?
Edit: Another question is, if I scale the image, the width / height information of the RectTransform component on the identifier does not change. Do I have to manually multiply the extent by the scaled value to get the actual length of the image?
Edit #2: As mentioned by allenallenallen, I have changed my code to use anchoredPosition, instead of localPosition, and the images are still not being offsetted properly.
You're using it wrong. This is what determines the position of UI based on the anchor points: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RectTransform-anchoredPosition.html
ImageA.GetComponent<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition = new Vector2(posX, posY);
And yes, to your second question. It's just like a regular 3D GameObject, width and height have to be multiplied by the scale to get the actual lengths.
I have changed all of my code to use anchoredPosition ins$$anonymous$$d of localPosition, but Its still not offsetting properly. Would I have to do something additionally if I have are a child an empty game object that I use to organize objects in the hierarchy?
