EasierUI
This an old Unity 3D asset is meant to simplify the UI development. Currently is not maintained but it should work, PRs are welcome.
This tool is very visual so it's better to learn what it does with a video:

⚠ Important:
You can add the Rect Transform Extended component to any UI GameObject to practice and understand what this tool can do, but don't reference it from code and don't use it in production, because it's slow.
Your final code should use the following methods that will be added to the RectTransform (extension methods):
yourRectTransform.GetPosition()
yourRectTransform.SetPosition()
yourRectTransform.GetAnchorsPosition()
yourRectTransform.SetAnchorsPosition()
yourRectTransform.SetPositionX()
yourRectTransform.SetPositionY()
yourRectTransform.SetWidth()
yourRectTransform.SetHeight()
yourRectTransform.SetAnchorsPositionX()
yourRectTransform.SetAnchorsPositionY()
yourRectTransform.SetAnchorsWidth()
yourRectTransform.SetAnchorsHeight()
yourRectTransform.GetPivotPosition()
yourRectTransform.SetPivotPosition()Also 4 options are added to the Tools menu in the Unity UI:
- UI Anchors To Corners
- UI Corners To Anchors
- UI Center Rect
- UI Center Anchors
Usange example:
RectTransfrom myRectTransform = transform as RectTransform;
Vector2 size = myRectTransform.GetSize(CoordinateSystem.IgnoreAnchorsAndPivot);If you need a more advanced usage converting coordinates instead of setting and getting, use the methods of the static classes:
RteRectTools and RteAnchorTools
Also these static classes contains some extra coordinate conversion methods.
