EasierUI

This is a Unity3D asset meant to simplify the UI development by providing more position and size values like in CSS where you have for example: 100px, 100vw, 100cqi, etc. This is an old assed and not maintained but it should still work perfectly, PRs are welcome.

This tool is very visual so it's better to learn what it does with a video:

Here I did the video again with a more updated version that has more values:

⚠ Important:

RectTransformExtended component is meant to be used only for learning and testing, don't use it in production or reference it from code, because the performance is not good. Instead your code should use the following methods that are added to the RectTransform (extension methods):

yourRectTransform.GetPosition()
yourRectTransform.SetPosition()

yourRectTransform.GetAnchorsPosition()
yourRectTransform.SetAnchorsPosition()

yourRectTransform.SetPositionX()
yourRectTransform.SetPositionY()

yourRectTransform.SetWidth()
yourRectTransform.SetHeight()

yourRectTransform.SetAnchorsPositionX()
yourRectTransform.SetAnchorsPositionY()

yourRectTransform.SetAnchorsWidth()
yourRectTransform.SetAnchorsHeight()

yourRectTransform.GetPivotPosition()
yourRectTransform.SetPivotPosition()

Also 4 options are added to the Tools menu in the Unity UI:

- UI Anchors To Corners
- UI Corners To Anchors
- UI Center Rect
- UI Center Anchors

Usange example:

RectTransfrom myRectTransform = transform as RectTransform;
Vector2 size = myRectTransform.GetSize(CoordinateSystem.IgnoreAnchorsAndPivot);

If you need a more advanced usage converting coordinates instead of setting and getting, use the methods of the static classes:

RteRectTools and RteAnchorTools Also these static classes contains some extra coordinate conversion methods.

Current limitations:

UI elements that are rotated or have the scale value different than 1 are not supported, size and position values comming from this library may be wrong for those elements. I don't have more time to spend in this library but a PR to fix this is welcome.
