Title: [pySFML2-cython] Issue repeating textures
Post by: Johnny on September 15, 2012, 09:23:01 pm

I can't figure out how to repeat a texture (without it automatically resizing) over a larger shape.

      texture = sf.Texture.load_from_file("test.png")
      texture.repeated = True
      rectangle.set_texture(texture, reset_rect=False)

The bool values don't appear to do anything. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

The area of the texture which is mapped to the shape is defined by the textureRect property. So, to have the texture repeated N times, the textureRect must be N times bigger than the texture.

Aha! That makes sense, it works fine now. Thanks a ton for the prompt and helpful response.
