If I resize the HBoxContainer, the TextureRect will resize to fill the container. The Label will also expand, but only the borders of the Label; the text itself stays the same size.
On a conceptual level, I understand that the expand setting is changing the borders of the Label, not the font size. The functionality I’m trying to achieve is so simple that I keep feeling like the answer must be something really obvious that I haven’t tried yet. I tried parenting the Label to a Node2d. When I did this, resizing the Node2d scaled the text in the way I wanted. But a Node2d doesn’t seem to work properly with ui containers.
@tool
extends Container
func _ready() -> void:
# Whenever sort_children is emitted
sort_children.connect(func():
for child in get_children():
# Find all the Label chidren
if not child is Label:
continue
child = child as Label
# Change their font_size
child.add_theme_font_size_override("font_size", floor(size.y))
# And fit them into the container
fit_child_in_rect(child, Rect2(Vector2.ZERO, size))
)
func _get_minimum_size() -> Vector2:
# Get the minimum size of the container
var min_x = 0
# By getting all the Control children
for child in get_children():
if not child is Control:
continue
child = child as Control
# And getting the maximum combined minimum size x value
min_x = max(min_x, child.get_combined_minimum_size().x)
return Vector2(min_x, 0)
It may not work for everything. Feel free to modify it as needed.
