Feature requests / Just-a-little-shorter way of getting corners of Rect<T>

« on: April 12, 2010, 01:29:48 pm »

In my code I pretty often use rects and calculate their corners, this is why I use a subclass of Rect<T> class to get following behaviour:

Code: [Select]


template <typename T>
sf::Vector2<T> Rect<T>::GetP1() const
{
return Vector2<T>(Left, Top);
}

template <typename T>
sf::Vector2<T> Rect<T>::GetP2() const
{
return Vector2<T>(Right, Bottom);
}


I believe it could be useful to add it to SFML. It makes code like

Code: [Select]


Rectangle(rect.left, rect.top, rect.right, rect.bottom, ...);
// or
Rectangle(Vector2f(rect.left, rect.top), Vector2f(rect.right, rect.bottom), ...);

a little shorter:

Code: [Select]


Rectangle(rect.GetP1(), rect.GetP2(), ...);
