Title: sf::Sprite has no member named GetSize
Post by: N1ghtly on January 08, 2012, 08:05:15 pm

Hello all,

I'm trying to get sfml up and running on linux. I downloaded the latest Git snapshot and compiled. I link correctly to the libs, yet I keep getting the error stated in the title.

Any suggestions?

You are probably calling Sprite.GetSize() somewhere, but this function doesn't exist.
You probably found the function in the sfml 1.6 tutorial, but it seems to be removed in sfml2.

After a quick look in Sprite.hpp I think you will need GetTextureRect.
This function is a little bit different (it returns a rect instead of the size), but I think it will give you the same result.

Otherwise you can call Texture.GetWidth() and Texture.GetHeight() to find out what the size of the texture is.

TextureRect doesn't take the scale in account. The correct replacement is sprite.GetGlobalBounds(), which returns the bounding rectangle. You can then extract its width/height.

Thanks, I wasn't aware these functions had been removed. I used an older version of SFML 2 before this.
