Support for Nine-Patch or SVGs

Do we have any Nine-Patch support? Link
Or any provision to upload SVGs?

Is that what you’re looking for?

Thanks @bgmadclown!
I am using Corona Cards, hence making use of plugins gets complicated so looking for alternatives.

Hmm so you may want to take a look at the GitHub repo of NanoSVG. Maybe there is something you can do with the source code.

Also found these through Google but not sure how much work would it take to integrate them with Solar2D.

Here’s my basic 9-slice module…

github.com

ponywolf/ponytiled/blob/master/com/ponywolf/plugins/nineSlice.lua

-- tiled Plugin template

-- Use this as a template to extend a tiled object with functionality
local M = {}

local function newSlice(options) 
  local slice = {}

  options = options or {}

  local filename = options.filename
  local border = options.border or 32
  local top = options.top or border
  local left = options.left or border
  local right = options.right or border
  local bottom = options.bottom or border
  local width = options.textureWidth or 256 
  local height = options.textureHeight or 256	

  -- Image Sheet needs to be set like this...

SSK2 has a hidden 9-slice helper buried in ssk.misc.*

	    "GET",
	    networkListener,
	    params,
	    fileName,
	    baseDirectory
	)
end

function misc.createSlicedImage( group, path, x, y, width, height )
    group = group or display.currentStage
    local slices = display.newGroup()
    group:insert( slices )
    local function cw( obj ) return obj.contentWidth end
    local function ch( obj ) return obj.contentHeight end
    local w2 = width/2
    local h2 = height/2
    local slice_1 = display.newImage( slices, path .. "/slice_1.png", 0, 0  )
    local slice_2 = display.newImage( slices, path .. "/slice_2.png", 0, 0  )
    local slice_3 = display.newImage( slices, path .. "/slice_3.png", 0, 0  )
