9Patch

Post by notcl4y »

What 9patch libraries are there? I know there's patchy and slicy (the fixed version of patchy). But they work different. You need to place pixels in the borders of the image.

Are there any other libraries or how to write own with quads?

Just tested it, it works the same as the way I tried to write. Of course I've changed something in your code to fit with mine. But still either the quads are broken, they work the different way or we wrote it the wrong way.

Looks like I'll have to send the library code again because I couldn't figure everything in your code out to fit mine. :o:

You set new scales, but where are you calculates new middleW and middleH after rescaling? Also update the w and h in the object.

Maybe turn those into getMiddle() function?
