TilingSprite Gaps Support

TilingSprite seems doesn’t have any option to change the sprites margin. however, I can use the below code to create a new sprite that seems to have margins

function generateGapTexture(texture, gap) {
  const gapBox = new Pixi.Graphics()
  const originSprite = new Pixi.Sprite(texture)
  gapBox.drawRect(0, 0, originSprite.width + gap.x, originSprite.height + gap.y)
  gapBox.addChild(originSprite)
  return gapBox.generateCanvasTexture()
}

but, if gaps are negative, this function is no use. it should be overlapping like this.

Is this ok to add this feature?

TilingSprite does not consists of multiple sprites. Its using extra transform on texture inside of it.

You can make your own implementation that actually spawns many sprites inside or works with internals separately, that’s very good way to make tilingSprite, its just nobody did it as plugin for pixi! I already have 10 plugins, i cant supply more, sorry.

Alternatively: make a mesh-shader (look in examples) that works same way like TilingSprite shader, but uses gaps.
