A '''SpriteProvider''' component provides a [[Sprite]] for an [[Image (Component)|Image]]. This can be used to display graphics and produce backgrounds.
A '''SpriteProvider''' defines a slice of a [[Texture2D]] as a [[Sprite]] that may be used by other components e.g. [[UIX]] [[Component:Image|Images]] to display graphics or produce backgrounds.

Sprite providers due to the current Unity implementation at the time of writing this have issues with switching images very quickly. They will often flash white, causing a health hazard to photo sensitive users. Having all the sprites on UIX elements at once and switching their OrderOffset to change which element renders on top will remove the flashing and is currently the only way to combat this issue.
