Overflow

Controls clipping behaviour for children that exceed this element’s bounds. Inspector: CHILD LAYOUT → Overflow.

ValueEffect
Visible (default)Children that overflow draw outside the bounds.
HiddenAdds a RectMask2D so children clip at the element’s bounds.
ScrollClips at the bounds and wires this element as a ScrollRect viewport (content auto-sized).

Visible

The default. Children that exceed the parent’s size keep drawing — they just spill out visually. Useful for badges, popovers, and shadow effects that need to extend past their container.

Hidden

Adds a RectMask2D to the GameObject. Anything outside the parent’s bounds is clipped. No scroll interaction.

AutoUI.Create()
    .Column().Width(200).Height(120)
    .Overflow(UIOverflow.Hidden)
    .Children(
        AutoUI.Create().Width(400).Height(60)    // overflows horizontally — gets clipped
    )
    .Build();

Scroll

Wires a ScrollRect automatically. The element becomes a viewport, content gets a child viewport rect, and pointer drag scrolls. Adequate for one-off scrolling rects.

For richer scrolling — virtualised content, snap-to-page, inertia, elastic bounds, paginated navigation — use the dedicated components:

  • ScrollView — feature-rich scroll container with optional snap/inertia/elastic.
  • ListView — virtualised scrolling list for large datasets.
  • GridView — virtualised scrolling grid.
  • Carousel — paged horizontal scroller.
