How to Make Equal distances Between Buttons in Unity

To make fixed and equal distances between buttons in Unity's UI, you can utilize the Horizontal Layout Group or Vertical Layout Group components. These components automatically arrange their child elements (buttons in this case) with fixed spacing between them. Here's how you can do it:

Using Horizontal Layout Group (for Horizontal Arrangement):

1- Create Buttons:

• Create the buttons you want to arrange in Unity's Scene view.

2- Create an Empty GameObject:

• Create an empty GameObject to hold your buttons. Right-click in the Hierarchy, go to Create Empty and name it appropriately.

3- Add Horizontal Layout Group:

• Select the empty GameObject.
• In the Inspector window, click Add Component and search for "Horizontal Layout Group".
• Adjust the Spacing property to set the fixed distance between buttons.

4- Drag Buttons:

• Drag your buttons from the Scene view into the empty GameObject. They will automatically arrange horizontally with the fixed spacing you set.

Using Vertical Layout Group (for Vertical Arrangement):

1- Create Buttons:

• Create the buttons you want to arrange in Unity's Scene view.

2- Create an Empty GameObject:

• Create an empty GameObject to hold your buttons. Right-click in the Hierarchy, go to Create Empty and name it appropriately.

3- Add Vertical Layout Group:

• Select the empty GameObject.
• In the Inspector window, click Add Component and search for "Vertical Layout Group".
• Adjust the Spacing property to set the fixed distance between buttons.

4- Drag Buttons:

• Drag your buttons from the Scene view into the empty GameObject. They will automatically arrange vertically with the fixed spacing you set.

By using Horizontal or Vertical Layout Groups, you ensure that the buttons maintain fixed and equal distances from each other. This is particularly useful for creating clean and organized UI layouts in Unity.
