The centerRect allows you to stretch a portion of an image without
affecting the areas outside of the rectangle. Imagine you have an image
with rounded corners and you want to use it as a button icon. You can
specify an area in the center of the image that can stretch as wide as you
need the button to be but the corners won't be affected and will keep their
original radius.
Or imagine a vertical image like a paper bookmark with a design on top and
a cutout shape on the bottom. You could stretch the center area to make it
taller without distorting the top design or the cutout at the bottom.

See my other message to the list of UI Handlers…
For my library, I was looking for clues to "centering " and came across
centerRect
set the centerRect[angle] of image to rectangle
set the centerRect of image "buttonImage" to 20,20,45,200
Dictionary is obscure,
1. What does "stretching" mean
in the context of " Use to centerRect property to specifies a region of
pixels that should be stretched when the image is stretched." Something
that happens is development with the Selection Tool on?
2. centerRect[angle]
Implies an array. But there is no reference to an array in the
dictionary?
