sprite_nineslice_create

Nine Slicing is a technique used to scale rectangular images for preserving details, making them retain their original form after scaling. See this page for information on Nine Slice.

This function is used to create a Nine Slice struct which can be modified and then applied to a sprite. The contents of this struct are detailed on this page.

You can store this struct in a variable, modify its properties, and apply it to any sprites using sprite_set_nineslice().

Syntax:

sprite_nineslice_create();

Returns:

Nine Slice Struct

Example:

var _nineslice = sprite_nineslice_create();

_nineslice.enabled = true;
_nineslice.left = 10;
_nineslice.right = 10;
_nineslice.top = 10;
_nineslice.bottom = 10;

sprite_set_nineslice(spr_box_0, _nineslice);

The code above creates a new Nine Slice struct, enables it and sets the offsets for the guides. The struct is then applied to a sprite, changing its Nine Slice properties.
