Title: Is the Outline Inside or Outside the Object?
Post by: kim366 on November 25, 2016, 05:22:32 pm

Let's say we have an

sf::CircleShape c(10)

If we now set

c.setOutlineThickness(5)

is the Radius of the Circle 10 or 15?

Thanks, Kim

It's outside, so 15 for anyone looking for the answer.

Negative outline value works too, by the way.

The radius of the circle would still be 10 but the radius of the outer rim of the outline would be 15.

If you use a negative value (as suggested by FRex) of -5 (instead of positive 5), the radius of the circle would effectively now be 5 and the radius of the outer rim of the outline would be 10.
