General / Drawing different views with the same tileset.

« on: May 26, 2023, 02:50:24 pm »

Hello,

I have a class with essentially the following drawable function:

Code: [Select]

virtual void draw(sf::RenderTarget& target, sf::RenderStates states) const{
    states.transform*=getTransform();
    states.texture=&m_tileset;
    target.draw(m_vertices, states);
}

I want to be able to change the "m_vertices" between two different views where the tiles shown in one view remain unchanged after each draw but the other the tile placements can change. As far as I can tell, I can't change the draw function to have an option to select different "m_vertices" at draw time. I think that I could run set two instances of the class for each view but then I would have to load the tileset twice when initializing or set a separate function that sets a flag that changes the "m_vertices" before the tiles are drawn. Are these the only options or is there another way to adjust the drawable for the class?

Window / Re: window.draw() and window.display are slow

Thanks, I managed to get the hardware acceleration to work now (still with vcxsrv, too afraid to mess with my setup for ROOT browser). It runs at a reasonable speed now. I do however get a

Segmentation fault

when exiting the window but I don't think that is currently an issue to worry about.

I am using X11 VcXsrv to produce the gui window. I am not sure if vGPU driver is installed (Set up the VcXsrv a while ago). I would guess its not installed for either my intel cpu or nvidia gpu's graphics setups.

Window / window.draw() and window.display are slow

Please bear with me, this is my first post.

I have been having issues with how slow my window polls events. My could main function is as follows:

#include <iostream>
  2
  3 #include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
  4
  5
  6 int main(){
  7      sf::ContextSettings settings;
  8      settings.depthBits          = 24;
  9      settings.stencilBits        = 8;
 10     settings.antialiasingLevel  = 4;
 11     settings.majorVersion       = 4;
 12     settings.minorVersion       = 6;
 13
 14     sf::RenderWindow  window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!", sf::Style::Default, settings);
 15     sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
 16     shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);
 17
 18     std::cout<<"OpenGL version: "<<settings.majorVersion<<"."<<settings.minorVersion<<std::endl;
 19
 20     while(window.isOpen()){
 21     ¦   sf::Event event;
 22     ¦   while(window.pollEvent(event)){
 23     ¦   ¦   switch(event.type){
 24     ¦   ¦   ¦   case sf::Event::Closed:
 25     ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦   window.close();
 26     ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦   break;
 27     ¦   ¦   ¦   case sf::Event::KeyPressed:
 28     ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦   if(event.key.code==sf::Keyboard::Escape){
 29     ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦   window.close();
 30     ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦   std::cout<<"closing window: Esc pressed\n";
 31     ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦   }
 32     ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦   break;
 33     ¦   ¦   ¦   default:
 34     ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦   break;
 35     ¦   ¦   }
 36     ¦   ¦
 37     ¦   }
 38     ¦   window.clear();
 39     ¦   window.draw(shape);
 40     ¦   window.display();
 41     }
 42     return 0;
 43 }

It seems to take a while to read the event type (usually I press the ```esc``` key just to close the window). When I comment out lines 39 and 40, the event is read rather quickly and closes the window. If they are commented out, it seems to take a rather large time (>10s) before it seems to recognize that the window should be closed.

I run on windows 10 using wsl2 from the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS environment. Is it possible the issue is related to WSL2?

In the terminal, I see the following output:

Warning: The created OpenGL context does not fully meet the settings that were requested
Requested: version = 4.6 ; depth bits = 24 ; stencil bits = 8 ; AA level = 4 ; core = false ; debug = false ; sRGB = false
Created: version = 0.0 ; depth bits = 24 ; stencil bits = 8 ; AA level = 0 ; core = false ; debug = false ; sRGB = false
Setting vertical sync not supported
sfml-graphics requires support for OpenGL 1.1 or greater
Ensure that hardware acceleration is enabled if available
OpenGL version: 4.6

I am not sure if it is related to the current problem or not but thought it might be helpful to include as well. I have an Intel(R) i7-6700HQ CPU and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060.
