<texture border="5"> and <bordersize>5</bordersize> - dnairb - 2018-12-10

I have a question regarding borders on textures. I assumed that the following would be equivalent regarding placing a border around an image, but it seems not:

Code:
<control type="image">

    <texture border="5">image.png</texture>

</control>

<control type="image">

    <bordersize>5</bordersize>

    <texture>image.png</texture>

</control>

I can't find much information in the wiki. Can anyone explain please?

border

Used to specify a region of the texture to be considered a border that should not be scaled when the texture is scaled to fit a control's dimensions. The portion in the border region will remain unscaled. Particularly useful to achieve rounded corners that do not change size when a control is resized. Note that zoom animations and GUI rescaling will still affect the border region - it is just the scaling of the texture to the control size which is unaffected. Using border="5" will give a 5 pixel border all around the texture. You can specify each of the border amounts on each edge individually using border="left,top,right,bottom".

bordertexture

Specifies the image file which should be displayed as a border around the image. Use the <bordersize> to specify the size of the border. The <width> , <height> box specifies the size of the image plus border.

bordersize

Specifies the size of the border. A single number specifies the border should be the same size all the way around the image, whereas a comma separated list of 4 values indicates left,top,right,bottom values.
