# RectTransform

### Description

A RectTransform [OverNode](/over-sdk-manual/over-visual-scripting-legacy/visual-scripting-essentials/overnode.md) is used to handle the position, rotation, and scale of an object inside a Unity Canvas, by interacting with the Unity3D [RectTransform](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RectTransform.html) Component.

Inheriting much of its behaviour from the [Transform](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.html) Component, RectTransform focuses on handling GUI elements.

#### RectTransform Exposer
