Title: Fill shape with pattern
Post by: hippocat on March 03, 2010, 04:09:33 am

Is there any way to fill shape not just color but specific pattern or bitmap ?
Thanks

No.

Not directly. You could render the shape to an image (SFML 2) and then modify all colored pixels (e.g. copy the texture to them). Eventually, you work with a sf::Sprite instead of sf::Shape.

There's no need to modify the pixels manually, you can adapt the blend mode of the sf::Shape and the sf::Sprite to get the effect you want.  :wink:

Interesting, so I can fill shape with color I like and employ blender somehow to make pattern ? Could anyone give me short sample for this color blending  ?
Thanks
