  I have an issue with Gideros Studio 2023.11 but I don't know if it's me or if it's expected behavior
  
  My issue is with Pixel and setTexture:
  -when I call setNinePatch the image covers the whole Pixel and reflects the correct size of the Pixel
  -when I don't call setNinePatch the image is letterboxed and doesn't cover the whole Pixel which makes the Pixel look smaller than it actually is
  
  To me it seems a little bit misleading as the dimensions of the Pixel are correct but the way the image is letterboxed makes it look smaller than it really is.
  
  Here is some code to demonstrate the effect:

  -- textures local btnuptex = Texture.new("gfx/ui/btn_01_up.png") -- objects local btnx = Pixel.new(0xffffff, 1, 32, 32) local btnx2 = Pixel.new(0xffffff, 1, 32, 32) -- params btnx:setScale(4, 1) btnx2:setScale(4, 1) btnx:setTexture(btnuptex) btnx2:setTexture(btnuptex) btnx:setNinePatch(32) -- seems legit --btnx2:setNinePatch(32) -- without NinePatch, Pixel looks smaller! -- position btnx:setPosition(16*18, 16*4) btnx2:setPosition(16*18, 16*8) -- order stage:addChild(btnx) stage:addChild(btnx2)

  What do you think? should the NinePatch be computed inside Pixel setTexture?
  
  Hope this make sense, thank you

  @MoKaLux,
  Pixel can draw its texture in three ways:
  - letterbox (the default)
  - stretched (texture will take all the pixel size)
  - nine patch (only center part is stretched)
  
  Switching to nine patch mode is obvious, you just call setNinePatch.
  Switching to stretched mode can be done in two ways:
  - At creation:

  Pixel.new(width,height,texture) --Here texture is third argument, not first

  - At run time:

  pixel:setNinePatch()

  or

  pixel:setNinePatch(0)

  The latter is because a nine patch with no fixed borders is equivalent to a fully stretched texture, and Pixel class recognize that.
  
  Note that there is no way to return back to letterbox mode
