    [SOLVED]

    Hello All,

    I am currently using the Content Size Fitter and Vertical Layout Group to resize a UI image to properly fit the amount of text inside that image dynamically. However, I notice that this results in the UI image resizing both in the positive and negative y axis. Moving the image both up and down to fit the text. However, I am looking to have the box only expand in the "up" , positive y, direction to resize to fit the child text component.

    Has anyone ever done this before or have a solution?

    Thanks!

    Solved my problem. All I had to do was adjust the location of the pivot on my Parent object to have it rescale/expand in one direction!

    Can you explain how you did this?

    I'm not following the original post's meanings.
