Title: Is there a way to flip a sprite on the x or y axis?
Post by: esrix on October 04, 2007, 02:05:46 pm

I was wondering if there is a way to flip a sprite on the x or y axis.  For example, if the image of a sprite appeared to be facing left, is there a way to flip it on the x axis to make it appear to be facing right?

I looked through the documentation to see if I could invert the x or y scale, but it states that a sprite's scale values must be strictly positive.

I know how to do it by setting a quad and scaling it in OpenGL, but I was wondering if SFML was capable of doing it.

There is currently no way to do it, but I'll think about it. Maybe allowing negative scales will be enough.

Happy to hear your considering it :)

You could use the getpixel and setpixel functions of Image to manually flip an axis...
