Graphics / Masking/Erasing Portions of a shape
« on: February 18, 2016, 09:50:14 am »
Good Evening,
I'm almost dirt new to SFML, but I couldn't find any mention of what I wanted to do in the documentation, So I though I'd put it out here to see if it can actually be done.
I'm trying to used an object (preferably an sf::drawable derived object) to hide part of another. Specifically, I have a circle, and I'm trying to hide a sector of the circle, so that only the background is visible.
Intuitive I tried placing a transparent triangle over the circle, but it simply rendered an invisible triangle over top of the triangle as it was ment to. Is their any way I can subtract one shape from another, or erase part of a shape before drawing it?
