using Doozy.Engine.UI;
using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public UICanvas MyCanvas;

    private void Start()
    {
        bool isMasterCanvas = MyCanvas.IsMasterCanvas;

        Debug.Log("The target UICanvas " + (isMasterCanvas ? "is" : "is not") + " the Master Canvas.");
    }
}

Get a reference to the UICanvas that is considered and used as the ‘MasterCanvas’. If no such UICanvas exists, one will be automatically created by default.

using Doozy.Engine.UI;
using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Start()
    {
        UICanvas masterCanvas = UICanvas.GetMasterCanvas();
    }
}

Create a new UICanvas with a given canvas name and get a reference to it.

using Doozy.Engine.UI;
using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Start()
    {
        UICanvas canvas = UICanvas.CreateUICanvas("MyNewCanvas");
    }
}

Get a reference to an UICanvas that has been registered in the UICanvas Database, that has the given canvas name. Note that if no UICanvas is found, it will return a null reference.

using Doozy.Engine.UI;
using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Start()
    {
        UICanvas canvas = UICanvas.GetUICanvas("MyCanvas");
    }
}
