**Category:** Core

Brief Description
-----------------

Scalable texture-based frame that tiles the texture's centers and sides, but keeps the corners' original size. Perfect for panels and dialog boxes.

Signals
-------

-  **texture_changed**  **(** **)**
Fired when the node's texture changes.


Member Variables
----------------

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **axis_stretch_horizontal** - Doesn't do anything at the time of writing.
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **axis_stretch_vertical** - Doesn't do anything at the time of writing.
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **draw_center** - If [code]true[/code], draw the panel's center. Else, only draw the 9-slice's borders. Default value: [code]true[/code]
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **patch_margin_bottom** - The height of the 9-slice's bottom row. A margin of 16 means the 9-slice's bottom corners and side will have a height of 16 pixels. You can set all 4 margin values indivually to create panels with non-uniform borders.
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **patch_margin_left** - The height of the 9-slice's left column.
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **patch_margin_right** - The height of the 9-slice's right column.
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **patch_margin_top** - The height of the 9-slice's top row.
- :ref:`Rect2<class_rect2>` **region_rect** - Rectangular region of the texture to sample from. If you're working with an atlas, use this property to define the area the 9-slice should use. All other properties are relative to this one.
- :ref:`Texture<class_texture>` **texture** - The node's texture resource.

Numeric Constants
-----------------

- **AXIS_STRETCH_MODE_STRETCH** = **0** --- Doesn't do anything at the time of writing. Default value for ``axis_stretch_horizontal`` and ``axis_stretch_vertical``.
- **AXIS_STRETCH_MODE_TILE** = **1** --- Doesn't do anything at the time of writing.
- **AXIS_STRETCH_MODE_TILE_FIT** = **2** --- Doesn't do anything at the time of writing.

Description
-----------

Better known as 9-slice panels, NinePatchRect produces clean panels of any size, based on a small texture. To do so, it splits the texture in a 3 by 3 grid. When you scale the node, it tiles the texture's sides horizontally or vertically, the center on both axes but it doesn't scale or tile the corners.
