Adding image to canvas (ui) is not working...

Hi
I added canvas and in it added a image, but I am not being able to but my jpeg image in the field


What should I do?

 

Have you checked that it is the correct format?

 

@pKallv Sorry, what do you mean by correct format?

 

In the asset's import settings, is it set to a Texture or a Sprite or..?

When the resource is selected does the Inspector show a preview?

 

@angrypenguin I see. The image is imported as texture, I changed it to sprite and everything works well now. Thanks a lot.

Another question please: Does resize the image to occupy the entire canvas and also set the Anchor points to the edges makes this image auto scale to fit the entire screen on different screen resolutions?

 

Here's a tip: When posting a new question make it a new post rather than an edit. People are more likely to notice it and/or get notifications if they've opted in.

From the sentence structure I don't understand the question... but I do believe you can get stuff to scale to fit different resolutions.

 

@angrypenguin Thanks.. I will remember the tip.
I managed to put the image I want in the canvas but I want that image to fill the entire screen in game mode and to resize to fit no matter the screen resolution is.
So if someone opened the game on a screen resolution 1280x800 he will see the image fits the entire screen, if another one with screen resolution 1920x1080 opened it I want the image to appear full screen too.
How can I do that?

 

You'll have to learn how to use the anchoring system. It'll take a bit of practice, but is well worth it. I suggest making some dummy objects and trying out different anchor settings while changing the game view's size to see how it all works.

 

@@angrypenguin Do you have a link to a tutorial or it is trial and error thing?

 

You can check out the Learn section. I learned it by using it, but documentation was limited at the time.

 

NoobleNoob, this tutorial is the best I saw and I think can help you a lot to learn how to use anchor and pivot point.
