Title: how about primitives?
Post by: Mad_Ninja on December 03, 2007, 12:21:33 am: is there any simple way to draw lines and circles? or do I have to use other graphic packages to do that?

Post by: Laurent on December 03, 2007, 02:38:41 am: There is currently no way to draw simple primitives, but it will be added soon.

Post by: Baron Pi on January 19, 2008, 12:36:49 pm: I'm thinking about using SFML in my thesis work which is about to take place soon, but it is quite vital to be able to draw primitives. . . Laurent is it possible for you to say how soon the primitives support will be added?

Post by: Laurent on January 19, 2008, 05:03:23 pm: I already started to implement it, I'll try to finish it as soon as possible.

Post by: Baron Pi on February 06, 2008, 03:18:57 pm: I'm just curious of how the work of the primitives is progressing (have been looking at that 50% on the roadmap every day :) )

Post by: Laurent on February 06, 2008, 03:58:54 pm: It's actually in standby right now, but I'll try to finish it as it could be done quickly. Thanks for reminding me ;)

Great! Looking forward to it.

Post by: Laurent on February 11, 2008, 12:21:00 pm: The first implementation of primitive drawing has been added, you can play with the sf::Shape class if you want to test.

Please note that it only handles convex shapes for now.

Great news.

Post by: Baron Pi on February 14, 2008, 02:58:39 pm: Yes, really great news! I'll try it out as soon as possible.

I'm trying out the new sf::Shape functionality and have downloaded the full SDK 1.2. Next thing is to download the needed files for Shape as they aren't not included in the SDK download, right? I have some problem however, as I don't know what files need to be replaced... Right now I've replaced/added Shape.cpp, Shape.hpp, Arial.hpp, Font.hpp, FontLoader.cpp, FontLoader.hpp and the graphics vcproj-file... Right now it complains about the fontmanager... Is there and easy way to bring my project up to date if i just want to add the Shape functionality? Can you specify what files I need to replace/add? :)

Post by: Laurent on February 25, 2008, 01:31:53 pm: You should definitively not do that. Download a SVN client (TortoiseSVN on Windows), and get the whole repository.

To get the sources, go to the sf.net project page, everything is explained (menu "sources") ;)

Yes of course!
Checked out and built the latest version of SFML and everything works fine :)

Cheers
