Hi,
How to scale extend width/height of border images without doubling the border thickness.

currently using love.graphics.setDefaultFilter("nearest","nearest",1)

For example I want to double the following image

111
101
111

to

1111
1001
1001
1111

not

111111
111111
110011
110011
111111
111111

The usual scaling methods don't discriminate edge pixels vs center pixels, so you won't be able to achieve what you want.

However, this looks like a problem for the 9-patch images. You can read about them here: http://wiresareobsolete.com/2010/06/9-patches/ There is a Love2d library that you might try: https://github.com/excessive/patchy
