How to align GUILayout elements

Question

I am working on improving a transform inspector a bit and currently got stuck.

Is there a way to align these buttons to the right?

These are just two GUILayout buttons wrapped inside the horizontal group.

public override void OnInspectorGUI()
{
    EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
    GUILayout.Button("World", EditorStyles.miniButtonLeft, GUILayout.Width(85));
    GUILayout.Button("Local", EditorStyles.miniButtonRight, GUILayout.Width(85));
    EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();

    defaultEditor.OnInspectorGUI();
}

How can I position them to the right?

Answer 1

You can move your buttons to the right side by adding a flexible space in front of them:

public override void OnInspectorGUI()
{
    EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
    GUILayout.FlexibleSpace();
    GUILayout.Button("World", EditorStyles.miniButtonLeft, GUILayout.Width(85));
    GUILayout.Button("Local", EditorStyles.miniButtonRight, GUILayout.Width(85));
    EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();

    defaultEditor.OnInspectorGUI();
}

A flexible space simply eats all left over space within a layout group. If you have multiple flexible spaces, the space is equally distributed between them.
