Question

I want to make some speech bubbles and have a layout where I can write some text and a NinePatchRect scales with it.

My first setup was to have a NinePatchRect with a Label as the child. That didn’t work and the size of the label didn’t change the size of the NinePatchRect.

However, when I created a PanelContainer with a NinePatchRect and Label as children it did work, I just had to hide the background of the PanelContainer.

While this does work it left me a bit confused: Is the PanelContainer the only container that scales with the size of the contained children? Is there some general logic?

nevermind, I am stupid. It states in the docs that this is the purpose of a PanelContainer PanelContainer — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English
