Using Texture2D+

Make sure you include the line


	using Texture2DExtensions;

in your script.

Using the Texture2D+ class extensions can best be illustrated with an example:


using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

using Texture2DExtensions;   // important!!!

public class MyClass : MonoBehaviour {
	public Texture2D myTexture;  // a texture assigned in the Editor

	void Start () {
		myTexture.Scale(Screen.width, Screen.height);
		myTexture.Saturation(0.5f);
	}
}

In this example the Texture is scaled to the same size as the Screen and could for instance be used as a background image.
Next the texture is desaturated to 50% to make is less destracting.

The new methods do not return a new Texture2D, but instead affect the Texture2D itself. If you want to preserve your original texture, you should clone it first. Like this:


myTexture = (Texture2D)Texture2D.Instantiate(baseTexture);
