Slice Image Support

[dogugzm]

I wanted to use default Image component features like "sliced" sprite and change the pixel per unit value. But looks like it directly uses simple type image. If it is possible, would be great 🙏

Hey @dogugzm, thanks for the request.
It's totally possible and it totally should be supported, someone just has to implement it 😅 Unfortunately this package is quite low in my current priority list.

Not sure how "pixel per unit" should be implemented, but it's quite possible that copying what Image does should be enough. My guess is changing the UV used by the vertices should be enough.

As for "sliced" sprite, we would need to mix the sliced vertices with the gradient vertices in OnPopulateMesh. It's not exactly trivial but it should be easy enough to implement.

What you can do right now, though, is using another package that applies gradient to UI using shaders, they may work for your use case.
