Title: How do I extract x and y from a Vector2f?
Post by: AB on May 04, 2013, 01:02:52 pm: sprite.getPosition() returns the x and y values of its position as Vector2f

Similarly, texture.GetSize() returns width and height as Vector2u.

I don't understand how I can extract the x and y values from Vector2f. How do I work with these?

sf::Vector2f vector;
float x = vector.x;
float y = vector.y;

Thanks. I understand the concepts but the info on http://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2.0/classsf_1_1Vector2.php is just confusing for me.

There are three public member functions, namely the different constructors.
There are two public attributes, namely x and y.
There are many free member functions, namely the operators.
