The Unity UI Extensions project is a collection of extension scripts/effects and controls to enhance your Unity UI experience. This includes over 70+ controls, utilities, effects and some much-needed love to make the most out of the Unity UI system (formally uGUI) in Unity.

# Using Unity UI Extensions
The UI Extensions project provides many automated functions to add the various controls contained within the project commonly accessed via "***GameObject -> UI -> Extensions -> 'Control'***" from the editor menu. This will add the UI object and all the necessary components to make that control work in the scene in a default state.
Some of the features are also available through the GameObject "Add Component" menu in the inspector.
For a full list of the controls and how they are used, please see the [online documentation](https://bitbucket.org/UnityUIExtensions/unity-ui-extensions/wiki/Controls) for the project.
