change UIAnchor in script

[harrisonpink]

Hey guys, I've searched everywhere for an answer, but have had no luck.

I've got an object with the following Anchor properties:

Target: UI Root
Left: Target's Left + 26
Right: Target's Left + 46
Bottom: Target's Top - 139
Bottom: Target's Top - 119

What I'd like to do is change this in script to:

Target: UI Root
Left: Target's Right - 46
Right: Target's Right - 26
Bottom: Target's Top - 139
Bottom: Target's Top - 119

However, I'm trying to understand the Side and pixelOffset settings with no luck.  Can anyone help?

What side and pixel offset settings? I'm not sure what you're referring to or how they relate to what you're trying to do.

1. widget.leftAnchor.relative = 1; // 0 = left, 1 = right
2. widget.leftAnchor.absolute = -46;
3.  
4. widget.rightAnchor.relative = 1;
5. widget.rightAnchor.absolute = -26;
6.  
7. widget.ResetAndUpdateAnchors();

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you're asking me. The sides are described above I thought? I've attached some images to help explain what I want to do.

I've tried coding something like this in c# as described here http://tasharen.com/ngui/docs/class_u_i_anchor.html but it hasn't worked.

1. spriteAnchor = imageSprite.GetComponent<UIAnchor>();
2.  
3. spriteAnchor.pixelOffset = Vector2(-26, 0);
4.

UIAnchor is a legacy component from NGUI 2 days. It has nothing to do with NGUI 3's layout system that you see on widgets.

The code I posted is all you need. "widget" is your widget. Replace it with "imageSprite" in your case.

This is the documentation page you should be looking at: http://www.tasharen.com/forum/index.php?topic=7013.0

Aha! That makes sense. Thank you for your help, I will play around with this and figure it out!
