!!! DEPRECATED FUNCTION !!! Use MakeChild taking a layout transform instead! Create a child geometry+widget relative to this one with a given local space size and layout transform given by a scale+offset.

Syntax

FArrangedWidget MakeChild
(
    const TSharedRef< SWidget > & ChildWidget,
    const FVector2D & ChildOffset,
    const FVector2D & InLocalSize,
    float ChildScale
) const

Remarks

!!! DEPRECATED FUNCTION !!! Use MakeChild taking a layout transform instead! Create a child geometry+widget relative to this one with a given local space size and layout transform given by a scale+offset. The Geometry inherits the child widget's render transform.

Returns

The new child geometry+widget.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
ChildWidget	The child widget this geometry is being created for.
ChildOffset	Offset of the child relative to the parent. Scale+Offset effectively define the layout transform.
LocalSize	The size of the child geometry in local space.
ChildScale	Scale of the child relative to the parent. Scale+Offset effectively define the layout transform.
