ImageTester

How To Use

• Download project (or just ImgDisp.cs)
• Select a game object in your scene (that needs the image)
• Add the ImgDisp script to it
• Turn that game object into a prefab
• Add using awillInc; to your C# script
• Add a public (or private with [SerializeField]) variable to your script
  • public ImgDisp IMG_PREFAB; is what I use in Main.cs
• Instantiate an instance of the class using the prefab:
  • ImgDisp img = Instantiate(IMG_PREFAB, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity, imgContainer);
  • In the example, imgContainer is used to hold images, but you can supply any Transform as the parent for the image
• Explicitly load the image by URL:
  • ImgDisp.loadSpriteToObject(imageURLs[i], img);

Useful Information

• When you request an image, this component:
  • Checks to see if image exists locally
  • If it does, load it from disk and use it
  • If it does not, download it from web (if possible), save it to disk (if possible), and use the downloaded resource
