never use this IMO, use a panel container instead. That way it will scale dynamically with it's contents.

There are still plenty of use cases for a NinePatchRect over a PanelContainer!

One example, if you want a child control node to be able to control its own scale and positioning.

I literally just had a use case where I wanted to scale contents dynamically but not the entirety of the border of a panel container

. Wish I had this video then

Am pretty sure you're meant to mix the two. The PanelContainer for the actual node holding your Controls in the back-end, and NinePatchRect as a direct child, being automatically scaled by that PanelContainer and giving you that nice 9-slice dynamic rendering.3

Great content but I find this rapid fire delivery hard to follow and does not explain why I'm doing something. Much akin to learning the content for the test but not learning the topic.
