Help with XML to LUA

[samishii23]

I'm trying to reduplicate this nice little title bar I've seen (Attached), but the thing is in XML and I can't figure out how to convert it.

<Texture name="$parentTitleBG" file="Interface\PaperDollInfoFrame\UI-GearManager-Title-Background">
	<Anchors>
		<Anchor point="TOPLEFT">
			<Offset x="9" y="-6"/>
		</Anchor>
		<Anchor point="BOTTOMRIGHT" relativePoint="TOPRIGHT">
			<Offset x="-6" y="-24"/>
		</Anchor>
	</Anchors>
</Texture>

Not sure how to get this into LUA... Help?

		<Anchor point="BOTTOMRIGHT" relativePoint="TOPRIGHT">

</Texture>

to

local myFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", "SomeName")
local tex = myFrame:CreateTexture(myFrame:GetName().."TitleBG")
tex:SetTexture([[Interface\PaperDollInfoFrame\UI-GearManager-Title-Background]])
tex:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 9, -6)
tex:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", -6, -24)
myFrame.tex = tex --no needed, but good if you want to reference without the name or local

Thanks for the conversion. Alas, now its being funky.

function SK.LoadMain()
	-- Create Main frame
	SK.Frame.Options = CreateFrame("Frame", "SK Test", UIParent)
	SK.Frame.Options:SetFrameStrata("TOOLTIP")
	SK.Frame.Options:SetWidth(200)
	SK.Frame.Options:SetHeight(100)
	SK.Frame.Options:SetPoint("LEFT",100,50)
	SK.Frame.Options:SetBackdrop(SK.Styles.Main)
	SK.Frame.Options:SetBackdropColor(Color("Black"))
	SK.Frame.Options:Hide()
	
	-- X Button to close window
	SK.Button.Options_X = CreateFrame("Button", nil, SK.Frame.Options)
	SK.Button.Options_X:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", 0, 0)
	SK.Button.Options_X:SetHeight(20)
	SK.Button.Options_X:SetWidth(20)
	SK.Button.Options_X:SetNormalTexture([[Interface\Buttons\UI-Panel-MinimizeButton-Up]]) 
	SK.Button.Options_X:SetPushedTexture([[Interface\Buttons\UI-Panel-MinimizeButton-Down]]) -- OnClick Effect
	SK.Button.Options_X:SetHighlightTexture([[Interface\Buttons\UI-Panel-MinimizeButton-Highlight]], "ADD") -- MouseOver Effect
	SK.Button.Options_X:SetScript("OnClick", function() SK.Frame.Options:Hide() end) -- EventFired action
	
	-- Texture for header bar
	local HeaderBar = SK.Frame.Options:CreateTexture(SK.Frame.Options:GetName().."HeaderBar")
	HeaderBar:SetTexture([[Interface\PaperDollInfoFrame\UI-GearManager-Title-Background]])
	HeaderBar:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 9, -6)
	HeaderBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", -6, -24)
	SK.Frame.Options.HeaderBar = HeaderBar
	
	-- Title Bar Text
	SK.FString.Str1 = SK.Frame.Options:CreateFontString(nil, "ARTWORK", "GameFontNormal")
	SK.FString.Str1:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 15, -5)
	SK.FString.Str1:SetText("Testing, Testing!")
	
	-- Event Registering
	SK.Frame.Options:SetScript("OnEvent", SK.Events)
	--SK.Frame.Options:RegisterEvent("
end

Thats the whole frame code. But the texture I just implemented went way over the window code, what did I do wrong? ( Problem seen in attachment )

local HeaderBar = SK.Frame.Options:CreateTexture(SK.Frame.Options:GetName().."HeaderBar")
	HeaderBar:SetTexture([[Interface\PaperDollInfoFrame\UI-GearManager-Title-Background]])
	HeaderBar:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 9, -6)
	HeaderBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", -6, -24)--THIS
	SK.Frame.Options.HeaderBar = HeaderBar

You see where you set it at the bottomright, -24 sent the texture towards the bottom of the screen, make the number positive for the texture to move UP

Thanks for the help with that.
How can I setup a custom border texture? This one is kinda nuts to me. Also really new...
This is what I have to work with...

<Layer level="BORDER">
	<Texture name="$parentTopLeft" file="Interface\PaperDollInfoFrame\UI-GearManager-Border">

		<Anchors><Anchor point="TOPLEFT"/></Anchors>
		<TexCoords left="0.501953125" right="0.625" top="0" bottom="1"/>
	</Texture>			
	<Texture name="$parentTopRight" file="Interface\PaperDollInfoFrame\UI-GearManager-Border">
		<Size x="64" y="64"/>
		<Anchors><Anchor point="TOPRIGHT"/></Anchors>

	</Texture>

This is what I have so far, but I think I'm doin it wrong... Am I on the right track???

-- Sets a Texture Frame for the window
	-- Top Left
	Local BorderTL = SK.Frame.Options:SetTexture([[Interface\PaperDollInfoFrame\UI-GearManager-Border]])
	BorderTL:SetWidth(64)
	BorderTL:SetHeight(64)
	BorderTL:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 0, 0)
	BorderTL:SetCoords(.5, .625, 0, 1)
	-- Top Right
	Local BorderTR = SK.Frame.Options:SetTexture([[Interface\PaperDollInfoFrame\UI-GearManager-Border]])
	BorderTR:SetWidth(64)
	BorderTR:SetHeight(64)
	BorderTR:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", 0, 0)
	BorderTR:SetCoords(.625, .75, 0, 1)
	-- Top
	Local BorderT = SK.Frame.Options:SetTexture([[Interface\PaperDollInfoFrame\UI-GearManager-Border]])
	BorderT:SetWidth(0)
	BorderT:SetHeight(64)
	BorderT:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 0, 0)
	BorderT:SetCoords(.5, .625, 0, 1)
	-- Bottom Left
	Local BorderT = SK.Frame.Options:SetTexture([[Interface\PaperDollInfoFrame\UI-GearManager-Border]])
	BorderT:SetWidth(0)
	BorderT:SetHeight(64)
	BorderT:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 0, 0)
	BorderT:SetCoords(.5, .625, 0, 1)

Does the <Size x="0" y="64"/> attribute correspond to the Height Width? Or is in the SetPoint()?

Looks about right, but you need to create the texture before you apply it.

Example

-- -- can change OVERLAY if you want another to use another framestrata
    Local BorderTL = SK.Frame.Options:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY") 
    BorderTL:SetTexture([[Interface\PaperDollInfoFrame\UI-GearManager-Border]])
    BorderTL:SetWidth(64)
    BorderTL:SetHeight(64)
    BorderTL:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 0, 0)
    BorderTL:SetCoords(.5, .625, 0, 1)
