public class UITextAlignment : MonoBehaviour { Text m_Text;
void Start() { //Fetch the Text Component m_Text = GetComponent<Text>(); //Switch the Text alignment to the middle m_Text.alignment = TextAnchor.MiddleCenter; }
//This is a legacy function used for an instant demonstration. See the UI Tutorials pages and UI Section of the manual for more information on creating your own buttons etc. void OnGUI() { //Press this Button to change the Text alignment to the lower right if (GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 0, 100, 40), "Lower Right")) { m_Text.alignment = TextAnchor.LowerRight; }
//Press this Button to change the Text alignment to the upper left if (GUI.Button(new Rect(150, 0, 100, 40), "Upper Left")) { m_Text.alignment = TextAnchor.UpperLeft; } } }
