PlayerFrameGroupIndicator

[sirpucna]

Newb here:

My search came up empty as people tend to just hide this texture.

I'm looking to put the texture "PlayerFrameGroupIndicator" on the TargetFrame so I can put information in it(i.e target name)

The texture location is "Interface\\CharacterFrame\\UI-CharacterFrame-GroupIndicator", i think theres Left/Right/Middle/Text layers, but i don't know how to work it.
Blizzard can adjust the length of it according to the text length, but its a bit beyond my expertise.

Any help would be apprecaited.

Basically the left panel is anchored to the TopLeft of the PlayerFrameGroupIndicator, the right panel to the TopRight and then the middle section is anchored between the two of them ("Interface\\CharacterFrame\\UI-CharacterFrame-GroupIndicator" is a single image virtually sliced into 3 by using TexCoords)

<Anchor point="LEFT" relativeTo="PlayerFrameGroupIndicatorLeft" relativePoint="RIGHT"/>
<Anchor point="RIGHT" relativeTo="PlayerFrameGroupIndicatorRight" relativePoint="LEFT"/>

During play when then names change ("PARTY_LEADER_CHANGED" or "GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE" events), the PlayerFrameGroupIndicator is resized to the width of the automatically adjusting text (FontString), PlayerFrameGroupIndicatorText:

PlayerFrameGroupIndicator:SetWidth(PlayerFrameGroupIndicatorText:GetWidth()+40)
