    In uGUI - How would I go about getting a Text component resized so it fits the amount of text in it?

    Is there a way to "ask" for the amount of pixels of a string, with a certain Font and FontSize?

    I'm not looking for the "Best Fit" checkmark solution. I have a Font, and a FontSize the string is supposed to be rendered with - I just want the Text component to resize itself as the text-string changes.

    Well, that was easy. I had no idea Preferred Size did that.

    Thank you.
