Description
Create a Figma plugin that makes creating 9-Patch images easier.
Suggestions for how the plugin could work:
- User inputs the insets and padding, and 9-patch lines are drawn automatically (this is what PNG express does).
- For drop shadows - specify radius and the tool would draw the inset lines and 9-patch lines automatically.
Current plugins/resources:
- https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/922137845084899222/9-Patch-export: it seems to generate something but when I hide everything except what it generated, I still can't see anything.
- The comments on this plugin imply that it doesn't work properly either: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/735452896889481850/Android-Resources-Export
- Doing it manually looks tedious: https://nathanvogel.com/blog/2020-04-figma-9path/
