The following video tutorial shows you how to create a 9-Slice panel from scratch. I’ll be using Lua and Love2D, but the same technique could be applied to just about any language or framework.

For those of you who don’t like using existing libraries or just simply want to know how it’s done, this should be useful. It’s also good to know how these things are made because it’s the basis of creating a lot of other UI elements. Sometimes a hand-made solution works better than something in a library or framework.
