[Request] 9-Patch shader for sprites

Since 9-patch not have animations, frames and can't be rotated, is possible do a shader that applied on a Sprite plugin makes the same and maybe more things?

Is possible?

Nothing?

Gigatron is possible with the actual shaders in C2 ?

I don't really know what 9 Patch do ....

I like images pictures for goal ... my english is not good you know ; so what exactly you want ?

Thanks

Hi Gigatron

9-Patch is a C2 default plugin , is hard to explain so better try and see how they works.

The problem about this plugin as i said is that not allow animation/frames and not allow rotations, so the idea is use a Sprite plugin instead with a shader that allos the same option to have the ability to ass frames/animation and rotations.

Basically 9-patch get the image you add and rip in 9 parts like:

123

456

789

In the plugin properties you set how this image is Tile-based with pixel width/height in left/right/top/bottom and if they will work as tiles, stretch or how. Is hard to explain better see the 9-Patch official manual here:

https://www.scirra.com/manual/151/9-patch

So the idea is that, in case is possible, do a shader that can do the shame for a sprite image.

I understand what 9patch do now : when you set all margins value to 1 you have the original sprite,

in this case i see it's streching corners to mask the edge... so in glsl i ve done something similar ;

Sure you will find something wrong <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Hi Gigatron

I updated your .capx adding an example in 9patch of what the shader needs to do to works the best:

In the grass example you can resize in X or Y and no matter always looks pixel-perfect.

Maybe i'm asking too much for a shader ? :S

Hi Gigatron , any news about this?
