37 * @brief NinePatchImage represents an image resource that can be added to ImageActors.
38 * It contains a bitmap that is synchronously loaded from the file system that contains
39 * a 9 patch border - a 1 pixel border that describes the stretch borders and the child
42 * The class offers an API to read the stretch area and child area, but it does not
43 * remove the border from it's bitmap. An API can be used to obtain a BitmapImage with
46 * Adding this image to an ImageActor using an Image handle will automatically convert
47 * to use the cropped BitmapImage - if you don't retain a handle to this object, it will
48 * be automatically destroyed.
