Hello! Thank you, TMPro is great complex system
When I need to resize background to fit it to text, I use TMP_Text.GetPreferredValues(), and What is strange for me - that if DeepProfile doesn’t lie, it make doubled work. CalculatePreferredValues() execute in two paths.
My questions are:
In order to calculate the Preferred Values, an horizontal layout pass first occurs to determine the preferred width and then using the results of this horizontal pass, a vertical layout pass is needed to determine the preferred height. See the following and section related to Layout Calculations.
The preferred height cannot be computed without a horizontal pass first.
I did make some minor tweaks to this in the latest release which is version 2.1.3.
Accessing the text components, TMP_Text.preferredWidth and TMP_Text.preferredHeight should avoid doing layout passes provided the text properties have not changed. Ie. it would return the cached values.
Thank you for fast answer. Where possible, I should use preferredHeight / Width, got it.
