Virtual coordinates

[blacklabgames]

Hi.
I'm using "Constrained" scaling, and I'm trying to move a widget from the centre of the screen to the top-left corner in code. Because the screen resolution can change, I think I need to work out the "virtual co-ordinates" of the top-left corner, but haven't been able to do that yet.

How do I get the virtual coordinates of the top-left corner of the screen?

Thanks.

Why don't you just anchor this widget to the top left corner? Then you don't need to do anything.

But, to answer your question... pixels * UIRoot.GetPixelSizeAdjustment(gameObject).

" move a widget from the centre of the screen to the top-left corner in code"

I guess that wasn't clear...I meant animate a widget over a number of frames. So it starts centred then moves smoothly to the top-left corner over a second. The numerous aspect ratios mean that the widget finishes in the incorrect position in a lot of cases is I use a constant value or a Unity animation.

In the example "pixels * UIRoot.GetPixelSizeAdjustment(gameObject)", what is the range for "pixels" to achieve the above?  [0..Screen.width]?  [0..1]?

Depends on what you're trying to animate to. if you want to move it from the exact center to exact top-left, then it would be Screen.width * 0.5, Screen.height * 0.5.

If you anchor another game object in the top left corner, then you could just tween to its position instead, without any need for math.
