Dynamically change Canvas from Overlay to World Space (and back again)

Hi
Can anyone tell me how I might change a Screen Space Overlay Canvas to World Space dynamically (ie through code at runtime)?

seems to work,

github.com

UnityCommunity/UnityLibrary/blob/master/Assets/Scripts/Docs/UnityEngine/CanvasRenderMode.cs

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

// usage: Attach this script to gameobject with Canvas component
// click mouse button to switch modes *note: worldspace will not be visible without scaling it
// https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Canvas-renderMode.html

namespace UnityLibrary
{
    public class CanvasRenderMode : MonoBehaviour
    {
        Canvas canvas;

        void Start()
        {
            canvas = GetComponent<Canvas>();
            if (canvas == null)
            {
                Debug.LogError("Canvas not found..", gameObject);
