Nine Slice Panel
Explore nine-slice panels in Sowa Engine, a technique for resizing game UI backgrounds while preserving their corners and borders.
Nine-slice scaling divides a UI image into corners, edges, and a center. This lets a panel change size while keeping its corners intact, instead of stretching the entire image uniformly.
The technique is useful for game interface elements such as windows, buttons, and framed panels that need to accommodate different amounts of content. This Sowa Engine development video focuses on a nine-slice panel as part of the engine’s game UI work.
Development videos may show earlier versions of the engine. Sowa Engine is in early development, with no public download available yet.
