The best way to hide/show UIWidget?

[beyonddoor]

UIPanel.LateUpdate is invoked too often in my game, I found hide an UIWidget by GameObject.SetActive(false) will force the UIPanel to rebuild itself, So I have the following methods:

• set alpha to zero
• set localScale to zero
• move to a invisible position out of camera

The method 2 and method 3 works as expected, both make UpdateGeometry called less often, but I want to know the best way to hide and show UIWidget (and widgets in its children), any advise is appreciated, thanks

Scale of 0 is invalid. You can't divide by zero.

If you want to avoid updates, SetActive(false) on the panel is the way to go. Don't bother with individual widgets. Enable/disable the panel they belong to instead.
