Add Image component to new gameobject

Question

I created a new game object:

GameObject newObject = new GameObject("ObjectName");
newObject.AddComponent<RectTransform>();
newObject.GetComponent<RectTransform>().sizeDelta = new Vector2(width, height);

I'm looking for a way to add an image (script) for color purposes. How can I do it?

Answer 1

The same way you are adding RectTransform.

newObject.AddComponent<Image>();

You also need to add using UnityEngine.UI to be able to find the Image component.
