Beardy's Grid Layout Group

This package fixes an issue in the UGUI Grid Layout Group where child elements are not properly aligned after they wrap around.

Before

After

This issue happens because as it wraps around, it uses the width or height of the main axis to determine how much space is required for the overflowing cells, causing the offset to be based on a width of more cells than there are in that row/column.

Known Issues

The original requirement for this was to fix the issue outlined above, however since the Grid Layout Group component supports so many scenarios, the code has issues with certain settings.

• Start Axis: Horizontal, Start Corner: Upper Right
• Start Axis: Horizontal, Start Corner: Lower Right
• Start Axis: Vertical, Start Corner: Lower Left (With certain child alignments)
• Start Axis: Vertical, Start Corner: Lower Right (With certain child alignments)

If you'd like to try and fix these issues, pull requests are welcome!

Using

For the most part, this should work exactly like the built-in UGUI Grid Layout Group Component.
