Description
It would be really great if Stride had 9 Slicing, such as seen in Unity, Godot, and Gamemaker (amongst others I'm sure.)
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's difficult if not impossible to display a nice looking UI Panel that's more complicated than a simple colored border and background.
Describe the solution you'd like
A way to stretch and/or tile an image such that the corners are un-scaled, edges scale in only one direction, and center scales in both directions.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I've briefly considered trying to duplicate the effect using nine separate image elements but if that's possible it's going to be very painful.
Additional context
Examples from other engines:

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by reviewing Stride’s existing UI image-element and rendering entry points, using the linked Unity, Godot, and GameMaker references to define corner, edge, and center behavior. Done means UI images can stretch or tile while keeping corners unscaled and edges constrained to one direction.
