How can you adjust the UV rect (aka tiling / offset) of a UI Sprite Image?

    How can you adjust the tiling and offset of a UI Sprite Image?

    The controls are exposed in the Inspector for the RawImage but not for a Sprite Image. I've tried adding a material but that doesn't seem to work either.

    The sprite shaders don't support it. It's not something that would be compatible with a sprite atlas anyway.

    Oh I see. I guess that explains why I couldn't do it. Although it's strange that they don't support it as the renderer itself has a tiled option.

    If you use a RawImage you can control this. The reason it's not supported is that the sprite may be packed and we generate internal tiling ext for tiled sprites using extra verts.

    Hi
    I used RawImage like described here for similiar purpose, to be able to scroll the texture. When I adjust the UVRect in editor it's scrolling alright but when doing it from code there's no visual difference, can see values are changing in editor though. Does it need some additional update method to be refreshed with new values?
