This is exactly what I needed and why on earth isn't it included in unity. Some of the glaring omissions in unity are insane.
Thank you.

This looks great but when I add it nothing appears. I played with all the settings but nothing. I have an object with just this component and a canvas renderer as an object within my canvas. Any ideas? Does the object need some other component as well? Maybe it doesn't work anymore in Unity 2021.3.3f1 ?

@simonpaulkeating It works on 2021.3.1f1. You must assign a sprite to Source Image if it's null.

Hi, I got it working in the end Thanks. I just re-created it from scratch and it worked. Not sure why my first version didn't work. Thanks again! Great Work!

Just wanted to say, you're a legend. Thank you!

Came from official unity forum, excellent script, thanks for sharing and your spirit of open-sourced.

Thank you 🙂

Thank you 👍

Works like a charm, thank you.

Thank you so much, you saved my day!

Just <3 Thanks ton
