Title: How to do sf::Text always the same size, regardless window resizing
Post by: trilavia on December 24, 2012, 12:01:01 pm: Hi,
for example in browser when you resize the window the text is always the same size. In SFML, when I create 1200x900 window, the text is exactly as I want, but when I maximize the window, it is way too big. Is there any simple way to make the text always be the same size :)?

Thanks

This is an undocumented internal detail that may change in the future.

It means that it's not documented anywhere :P because it's an implementation detail that is not part of the public API, and on which users should not rely.

It's an implementation detail, therefore I can touch it without breaking the API compatibility between minor versions of SFML.

Because a member (function) can be accessed doesn't mean that it should be used. Users should strictly stick to what's publicly documented.

Unfortunately, you do document it, see here (http://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2.0/classsf_1_1RenderWindow.php). That makes it difficult to see what is part of the API.

Post by: Laurent on December 24, 2012, 02:38:38 pm: I don't document it, doxygen does ;D

I'll fix this, sorry.

Post by: Nexus on December 24, 2012, 02:41:01 pm: In the documentation, you can use the @internal (http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdinternal) command, so that Doxygen doesn't expose it to the API. The advantage over just using // instead of /// is that you can still create your own documentation where internal symbols show up.
