NGUI 9 patch textures

[elvess]

Hello.
I have a question. Is there a way to use 9 patch textures in NGUI?
I mean not to use Border settings in SlicedSprite Atlas but just create 9 patch textures in draw9patch and use them.

Thank You.
Best regards,
Paul

Outside of the sprite system, I don't think you're going to get that out of the box. You can however make a modified UITexture, say UISlicedTexture, that uses the same principle that 9-sliced UISprites do and define borders on the texture directly.

Thank U.
I tried to use UISLiceSprite and i got space that should be tiled - scaled.
The way U purpose will give the same result?
Or its possible to tile, not to scale?
I selected space to tile by border settings and this space scaled.

Yeah, so with UISlicedSprite, only the corners are preserved while the other 5 patches are stretched. If you want them to tile, you will have to implement your own version of SlicedSprite.

Understood. Thank U very much.
