    Does anyone know how I would go about accessing the renderer (or, more specifically, the material) of a New UI "Image" class object?

    <Image>.sprite exists, but there doesn't seem to be an <Image>.renderer or an <Image>.GetComponent<Renderer>() around.

    Out of curiousity: why doesn't CanvasRenderer inherit from Renderer?
