+ \qmlclass BorderImage QSGBorderImage
+ \inqmlmodule QtQuick 2
+ \brief The BorderImage element provides an image that can be used as a border.
+ \inherits Item
+ \ingroup qml-basic-visual-elements
+
+ The BorderImage element is used to create borders out of images by scaling or tiling
+ parts of each image.
+
+ A BorderImage element breaks a source image, specified using the \l url property,
+ into 9 regions, as shown below:
+
+ \image declarative-scalegrid.png
+
+ When the image is scaled, regions of the source image are scaled or tiled to
+ create the displayed border image in the following way:
+
+ \list
+ \i The corners (regions 1, 3, 7, and 9) are not scaled at all.
+ \i Regions 2 and 8 are scaled according to
+ \l{BorderImage::horizontalTileMode}{horizontalTileMode}.
+ \i Regions 4 and 6 are scaled according to
+ \l{BorderImage::verticalTileMode}{verticalTileMode}.
+ \i The middle (region 5) is scaled according to both
+ \l{BorderImage::horizontalTileMode}{horizontalTileMode} and
+ \l{BorderImage::verticalTileMode}{verticalTileMode}.
+ \endlist
+
+ The regions of the image are defined using the \l border property group, which
+ describes the distance from each edge of the source image to use as a border.
+
+ \section1 Example Usage
+
+ The following examples show the effects of the different modes on an image.
+ Guide lines are overlaid onto the image to show the different regions of the
+ image as described above.
+
+ \beginfloatleft
+ \image qml-borderimage-normal-image.png
+ \endfloat
+
+ An unscaled image is displayed using an Image element. The \l border property is
+ used to determine the parts of the image that will lie inside the unscaled corner
+ areas and the parts that will be stretched horizontally and vertically.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/borderimage/normal-image.qml normal image
+
+ \clearfloat
+ \beginfloatleft
+ \image qml-borderimage-scaled.png
+ \endfloat
+
+ A BorderImage element is used to display the image, and it is given a size that is
+ larger than the original image. Since the \l horizontalTileMode property is set to
+ \l{BorderImage::horizontalTileMode}{BorderImage.Stretch}, the parts of image in
+ regions 2 and 8 are stretched horizontally. Since the \l verticalTileMode property
+ is set to \l{BorderImage::verticalTileMode}{BorderImage.Stretch}, the parts of image
+ in regions 4 and 6 are stretched vertically.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/borderimage/borderimage-scaled.qml scaled border image
+
+ \clearfloat
+ \beginfloatleft
+ \image qml-borderimage-tiled.png
+ \endfloat
+
+ Again, a large BorderImage element is used to display the image. With the
+ \l horizontalTileMode property set to \l{BorderImage::horizontalTileMode}{BorderImage.Repeat},
+ the parts of image in regions 2 and 8 are tiled so that they fill the space at the
+ top and bottom of the element. Similarly, the \l verticalTileMode property is set to
+ \l{BorderImage::verticalTileMode}{BorderImage.Repeat}, the parts of image in regions
+ 4 and 6 are tiled so that they fill the space at the left and right of the element.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/borderimage/borderimage-tiled.qml tiled border image
+
+ \clearfloat
+ In some situations, the width of regions 2 and 8 may not be an exact multiple of the width
+ of the corresponding regions in the source image. Similarly, the height of regions 4 and 6
+ may not be an exact multiple of the height of the corresponding regions. It can be useful
+ to use \l{BorderImage::horizontalTileMode}{BorderImage.Round} instead of
+ \l{BorderImage::horizontalTileMode}{BorderImage.Repeat} in cases like these.
+
+ The \l{declarative/imageelements/borderimage}{BorderImage example} shows how a BorderImage
+ can be used to simulate a shadow effect on a rectangular item.
+
+ \section1 Quality and Performance
+
+ By default, any scaled regions of the image are rendered without smoothing to improve
+ rendering speed. Setting the \l smooth property improves rendering quality of scaled
+ regions, but may slow down rendering.
+
+ The source image may not be loaded instantaneously, depending on its original location.
+ Loading progress can be monitored with the \l progress property.

+ \qmlproperty bool QtQuick2::BorderImage::asynchronous
+
+ Specifies that images on the local filesystem should be loaded

+ maintaining a responsive user interface is more desirable
+ than having images immediately visible.
+
+ Note that this property is only valid for images read from the
+ local filesystem. Images loaded via a network resource (e.g. HTTP)
+ are always loaded asynchonously.
