Note: A normal PNG file (.png) will be loaded with an empty one-pixel border added around the image, in which you can draw the stretchable patches and content area. A previously saved NinePatch file (.9.png) will be loaded as-is, with no drawing area added, because it already exists.

Optional controls include:

• Zoom: Adjust the zoom level of the graphic in the drawing area.
• Patch scale: Adjust the scale of the images in the preview area.
• Show lock: Visualize the non-drawable area of the graphic on mouse-over.
• Show patches: Preview the stretchable patches in the drawing area (pink is a stretchable patch).
• Show content: Highlight the content area in the preview images (purple is the area in which content is allowed).
• Show bad patches: Adds a red border around patch areas that may produce artifacts in the graphic when stretched. Visual coherence of your stretched image will be maintained if you eliminate all bad patches.
