Twenty Five Slicer is a Unity package designed for more advanced sprite slicing, enabling a "25-slice" approach. It divides a sprite into a 5x5 grid, allowing precise scaling and manipulation of individual regions while preserving key areas.
- 9 slices: Non-stretchable areas.
- 6 slices: Stretch horizontally only.
- 6 slices: Stretch vertically only.
- 4 slices: Stretch in both directions.
This allows for far more detailed slicing. Where traditional 9-slice images often require stacking multiple image layers to achieve complex UI shapes (e.g., speech bubbles, boxes with icons or separators at the center), a 25-slice configuration can often handle these scenarios with just a single image.
