Title: Saving Image Within A Rectangle
Post by: Birdron on December 06, 2019, 11:47:17 pm

Hi,
   There is a method RenderWindow::capture which save all window as an image. Is it possible to save just those images which are inside a rectangleShape?
   I have attached an image, I just want to save the inner area. Which is a rectangleShape.

Thank you

capture() is deprecated, instead you should be using texture.update(window) and then texture.copyToImage().

As for your question, not that's not directly supported. You can do it by either rendering to a render texture only the part you want to save, or you could only save a section of the sf::Image (e.g. use image.copy() and then save the copied image).
