All you would have to do is make a script with a boolean variable, and a function for the button to use. Something like this:

bool showImage = false;
public GameObject displayImage;

public void ToggleButton()
{
    showImage = !showImage ;
}

void Update()
{
    if (showImage)
    {
        displayImage.SetActive(true);
    }
    else
    {
        displayImage.SetActive(false);
    }
}

If you’re using the new unity UI (with a Canvas), you can make the UI button call the “ToggleButton” function by scrolling down to the “OnClick” list, drag in whatever gameObject has this script on it, and then point it at at the correct function. Also, make sure to assign the displayImage variable from the editor.

If you’re using the old unity OnGUI system, just wrap the button with an if statement, and inside call the ToggleButton() function from inside the if statement.
