GM.9path helps you easilly define 9patch sprites, by simply adding borders in the sprite editor.
Define any number of stretchable / non-stretchable regions.

Defining your 9patch
Defining you 9patch is as easy as adding '_9p' at the end of the sprite name, and adding a border of stretchable and non stretchable region around the image.
Need a section in the middle to stay unstretched? No problem, GM.9patch supports any number of patched regions!
Easily fit text in your sprite by defining the content regions in the sprite editor!
This is compatible with the 9patch format used in android developemnt, making it ideal to reuse androif resources.

Draw you 9patch easily with

draw_9patch(sprite, subimage, x, y, width, height);

or add text with

draw_9patch_text(sprite, subimage, x, y, width, height, text)

Extended versions also available to change rotation, colour and alpha.

Quick update: easily get the content region with this new function: get_9patch_content_rectangle.

takes in sprite, position and dimentions of the panel, and returns an array with position and dimentions of the content region! Adding your own sprite, text or other flush inside a panel is now much easier!

Nice one! From the title, I though you had taken it upon yourself to patch all of GM's bugs - LOL

Oh no! This would take years of work from a 100 man team of experts!
