The Rect Transform component
Now the previous
Rect Tool
works just fine on all 2D and 3D objects and is a great
extension to the Unity toolset; however, Unity also introduced the Rect Transform
component specifically for the new
Unity UI
system, you can see it here:
Note: If you add a
Rect Transform
to an ordinary sprite instead of a
UI component, you will not get the full capabilities described here.
The
Rect Transform
cannot update the
Sprite Renderer
component
used by sprites alone, so it won't resize or be able to use advanced
features such as the
Anchors
. Bear this in mind when tinkering. The
primary reason for the new
Rect Transform
component is the new
UI
system.
