I’m utilizing Unity 2021.3.3f1 and making an attempt to make a pop up with a sprite as a background, the place the dimensions of this sprite adjusts to the dimensions obligatory to suit the textual content.
From what I perceive, UnityEngine.UI.TextGenerator ought to have the ability to give me the mandatory dimensions of the sprite, given an enter string and a few TextGenerationSettings.
Right here is the code I’m utilizing.
public class PopUp : MonoBehaviour
{
UnityEngine.UI.Textual content textual content;
TextGenerationSettings textGenSetting;
TextGenerator generator
void Begin()
{
generator = new TextGenerator();
textGenSetting.generationExtents = new Vector2(20f, 20f);
}
void Replace()
{
RecalculateText();
}
non-public void RecalculateText()
{
textGenSetting.fontSize = textual content.fontSize;
textGenSetting.alignByGeometry = textual content.alignByGeometry;
textGenSetting.colour = textual content.colour;
textGenSetting.fontStyle = textual content.fontStyle;
textGenSetting.resizeTextForBestFit = textual content.resizeTextForBestFit;
textGenSetting.resizeTextMaxSize = textual content.resizeTextMaxSize;
textGenSetting.resizeTextMinSize = textual content.resizeTextMinSize;
textGenSetting.richText = textual content.supportRichText;
textGenSetting.horizontalOverflow = textual content.horizontalOverflow;
textGenSetting.verticalOverflow = textual content.verticalOverflow;
textGenSetting.updateBounds = true;
textGenSetting.font = textual content.font;
textGenSetting.lineSpacing = textual content.lineSpacing;
var newHeight = generator.GetPreferredHeight(textual content.textual content, textGenSetting);
var newWidth = generator.GetPreferredWidth(textual content.textual content, textGenSetting);
var newRect = generator.rectExtents;
//Debug Log 1
Debug.Log(string.Format("newWidth: {0}, newHeight: {1}, numLinesGenerated: {2}", newWidth, newHeight, generator.lineCount));
//Debug Log 2
Debug.Log(string.Format("newRectWidth: {0}, newRectHeight: {1}, numLinesGenerated: {2}", newRect.width, newRect.peak, generator.lineCount));
//Debug Log 3
Debug.Log(string.Format("generationExtents: width {0}, peak: {1}, numLinesGenerated: {2}", textGenSetting.generationExtents.x, textGenSetting.generationExtents.y, generator.lineCount));
}
}
Since I am unsure which technique/discipline ought to be giving me the proper peak and width for any given textual content, I am printing a number of fields/technique outcomes to the console.
Nevertheless, none of these offers the specified end result.
Outputs of Debug Log 1
The road marked //Debug Log 1 above offers the next output when I’ve an empty string (“”), a string with one character (“a”), a string with two characters (“aa”), and an extended string (with loads of areas in between for potential line breaks)

Conclusion
Debug Log 1
generator.GetPreferredWidth provides 7 to the popular width for every character (and 4 for every area) and generator.GetPreferredHeight provides 15 to the popular peak for every character (no concept why) and neither GetPreferredWidth nor GetPreferredHeight calculate line Breaks in any smart approach
Debug Log 2
generator.rectExtents.width will get incremente by 7 for every character (and 4 for every area), however generator.rectExtents.peak is just not incremented in any respect (so once more, no line breaks or legitimate peak readings)
Debug Log 3
This (most likely anticipated) at all times outputs 20,20 (i.e., no matter textGenSetting.generationExtents is about to). I attempted this anyway since I believed possibly generator.Populate() would replace this worth of the textGenSetting struct.
Query: Am I lacking one thing? Or is that this not directly anticipated behaviour? How can I get this to work, or, alternatively, use another solution to auto-layout textual content and get the extents of mentioned textual content in order that I can modify my sprites to suit this textual content?
