This package provides you with a set of classes providing extended GUI widgets for Unity -- both for runtime usage and for editor usage --

Widgets (including where they can be used from):

• AutoSelect TextArea (Runtime & Editor) - A variant of the TextArea that auto-selects all content when the widget gets focus, and which provides length-clamping for the Editor variant.

• Toolbar (Editor) - Some helpers for drawing toolbars in the same manner Unity itself does.

• Vertical Split-Panes (Editor) - Vertically stacked split-panes with draggable resizing.

• Horizontal Split-Panes (Editor) - Horizontally stacked split-panes with draggable resizing.

• Unity 3.1 or 3.0. This will not work on Unity 2.x, or Unity/iPhone 1.x.

Grab the unitypackage and install it into your project:

http://github.com/MrJoy/UnityGUIExtensions.Examples/downloads

OR, if you are using Git for your Unity project, you can add this as a sub-module:

mkdir -p Assets/Editor/
git submodule add git://github.com/MrJoy/UnityGUIExtensions.git Assets/Editor/UnityGUIExtensions
git submodule init
git submodule update

UnityGUIExtensions' Git repo is available on GitHub, which can be browsed at:

http://github.com/MrJoy/UnityGUIExtensions

and cloned with:

git clone git://github.com/MrJoy/UnityGUIExtensions.git

An example Unity project (which refers to this project as a sub-module) is available here:

http://github.com/MrJoy/UnityGUIExtensions.Examples

and can be cloned with:

git clone git://github.com/MrJoy/UnityGUIExtensions.Examples.git
git submodule init
git submodule update

Instead of:

myString = GUILayout.TextArea(myString);

You just do:

myString = GUILayoutAutoSelect.TextArea("uniqueWidgetName", myString);

Variants exist corresponding to all the method signatures of GUI.TextArea, GUILayout.TextArea, EditorGUI.TextArea, and EditorGUILayout.TextArea. Additionally, the EditorGUIExt/EditorGUILayoutExt versions have an additional set of signatures that include the maxLength attribute.

This feature may only be used from editor classes

Simplest possible usage:

public void OnGUI() {
  EditorGUILayoutVerticalPanes.Begin();
    // Draw your upper pane here.
  EditorGUILayoutVerticalPanes.Splitter();
    // Draw your lower pane here.
  EditorGUILayoutVerticalPanes.End();
}

However, if you wish to exert more control over this, you can specify a configuration for the panes:

private VerticalPaneState paneConfiguration = new VerticalPaneState() {
  initialTopPaneHeight = 80,
  minPaneHeightTop = 65,
  minPaneHeightBottom = 100
};

public void OnGUI() {
  EditorGUILayoutVerticalPanes.Begin(paneConfiguration);
    // Draw your upper pane here.
  EditorGUILayoutVerticalPanes.Splitter();
    // Draw your lower pane here.
  EditorGUILayoutVerticalPanes.End();
}

This feature may only be used from editor classes

Simplest possible usage:

public void OnGUI() {
  EditorGUILayoutHorizontalPanes.Begin();
    // Draw your left pane here.
  EditorGUILayoutHorizontalPanes.Splitter();
    // Draw your right pane here.
  EditorGUILayoutHorizontalPanes.End();
}

However, if you wish to exert more control over this, you can specify a configuration for the panes:

private HorizontalPaneState paneConfiguration = new HorizontalPaneState() {
  initialLeftPaneWidth = 80,
  minPaneWidthLeft = 65,
  minPaneWidthRight = 100
};

public void OnGUI() {
  EditorGUILayoutHorizontalPanes.Begin(paneConfiguration);
    // Draw your left pane here.
  EditorGUILayoutHorizontalPanes.Splitter();
    // Draw your right pane here.
  EditorGUILayoutHorizontalPanes.End();
}

This feature may only be used from editor classes
