Editor Tools

These are just some little helper tools for making editor GUI layout a bit easier. Largely utilizing the IDisposable pattern to increase readability and safety when making UI calls that require a Begin/End pair. These add a lot of safety (can't forget the End call), simplify the usage a little bit, and increase readability by creating a new scope and indent level in your code, making it easier to see what UI is inside your different blocks.

IndentBlock

Easily create a section of indented UI.

EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Some Indented Stuff:");
using (new IndentBlock())
{
    EditorGUILayout.LabelField("This is indented!");
}

HorizontalBlock

Create a horizontal section of layout.

using (new HorizontalBlock())
{
    if (GUILayout.Button("Left Button")) { }
    if (GUILayout.Button("Right Button")) { }
}

VerticalBlock

Create a vertical section of layout.

using (new VerticalBlock())
{
    if (GUILayout.Button("Top Button")) { }
    if (GUILayout.Button("Bottom Button")) { }
}

ScrollViewBlock

Creates a scroll view section. Requires a ref parameter for the scroll location that it will update.

// In your editor class, define a private variable
private Vector2 _scrollViewPosition;

// In your GUI code you can easily make scroll views
using (new ScrollViewBlock(ref _scrollViewPosition))
{
    for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
    {
        if (GUILayout.Button("Button " + i)) { }
    }
}
