Rotate the shapes relative to center
« on: October 20, 2014, 11:06:21 pm »
Hi, I have RectangleShape, how to rotate it relative to center.
I have tried the following:
shape.setOrigin(size_a/2, size_b/2); //size_a, size_b - size of shape
shape.setPosition(100, 100);
shape.setSize({ size_a, size_b });
shape.setRotation(20);
 
However, rotate relative top-left corner. Am I doing something wrong?

Not sure, but what if you set the size first, then the origin and the rotate it?

Your code looks ok. Can you show a complete and minimal example that reproduces the problem?

Here is my full code:

const int windowWidth = 500;
const int windowHeight = 400;

class Box
{
public:
        RectangleShape shape;

        Box(float size_a, float size_b)
        {
                shape.setFillColor(Color::Blue);
                shape.setPosition(100, 100);
                shape.setSize({ size_a, size_b });
                shape.setOutlineThickness(2);
                shape.setOutlineColor(Color::Black);
        }

};

int main()
{
        Box box(200,150);

        RenderWindow window(VideoMode(windowWidth, windowHeight), "Box");
        window.setFramerateLimit(60);

        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                Event event;
                while (window.pollEvent(event))
                {
                        if (event.type == Event::Closed)
                                window.close();
                }

                window.clear(Color::White);
                window.draw(box.shape);
                window.display();

        }
        return 0;
}
 
Get the following:


If I change constructor:
Box(float size_a, float size_b)
        {
                shape.setOrigin(100, 100);
                shape.setFillColor(Color::Blue);
                shape.setPosition(150, 150);
                shape.setSize({ size_a, size_b });
                shape.setOutlineThickness(2);
                shape.setOutlineColor(Color::Black);
               
                shape.setRotation(20);
        }
 
Produce this:

Top-left corner moving coordinates (x-100,y-100), and rotate relative to top-left corner.

All transformations (position, scale, rotation) will happen around the origin. So if you set the origin to (100, 100) the rotation will happen around that point. If you want the rotation to happen around the center of your rectangle you need to set it to (size_a/2.f, size_b/2.f).
