UWidget::GetTickSpaceGeometry

function UMG Blueprint Since 4.14

#include "Components/Widget.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Returns the geometry used during the last Tick. For most practical purposes this is identical to GetCachedGeometry; the distinction is only meaningful in rare cases where a widget's tick geometry differs from its paint geometry.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Like GetCachedGeometry, this value is one frame behind and will be a default zero-size geometry before the widget has been ticked at least once.
• In the vast majority of UMG widgets, GetTickSpaceGeometry and GetCachedGeometry return the same value. Use GetCachedGeometry unless you have a specific reason to distinguish tick-space from paint-space.
• The returned reference is to internal storage; copy the value if you need to use it after other widget operations that might trigger a layout update.
