Graphics / SFML 2.0 RenderImage

« on: March 31, 2011, 11:50:58 am »

I don't know if it's related but under xp I'have seen some strange bug with using vector2f or rect, if I set position of something or use contains whith a rect or vector creating with another vector, the result is a rect/vector with value that not those I have passed, if i create Rect/Vector with using member of vector/rect instead of passing it to function, it works.

For exemple :

Code: [Select]

sprite.SetPosition( object.GetPosition() );// Work on ubuntu but don't on xp.
sprite.SetPosition( object.GetPosition().x,object.GetPosition().y);// Work both ubuntu/xp;

Maybe there is a bug under xp with Vector.
If you check the size of renderImage after create, it give you the good size?

General discussions / [SFML 2] I need your help for the ATI fix

« on: March 02, 2011, 03:21:09 pm »

Oups yes i'm not actualy in graphic and made a mistake in my mind :oops:

Perhaps sf::ThreadLocalContext? Even though "context" may be not clear for beginners, it's probably the most general and exact notion...

I agree.(and will probably name my variable with "context")

Newbie will realy use sfml and graphics without any RenderTarget?

A window, It's the first thing that many tutorial I have seen, show to start.

A good doc with an simple explanation to beginner is more helpfull that just a name that can say something else in an other lib. (personnaly a use more technical/generic name for class name and use a variable name that show what i do with it in actual context)

something like this in doc :

Code: [Select]

   
// Create the main window
// If you want to work on graphics without having any RenderTarget(like RenderWindow, RenderImage,...) you have to create an instance of sf::???????.
// ex: sf::ThreadLocalContext BackGroundGraphic.
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML window");

Will more help me that just the name of this object and i have both technicaly name and meagningfull explanation of it.

If I begin, I just need this and if I want to know more I can see the doc for more detailled explanation.
Or search on web these term : thread, Context.(and if i'm not english  BackGround )

General discussions / [SFML 2] I need your help for the ATI fix

« on: March 02, 2011, 11:51:00 am »

I'd like to keep full words, this is one of my coding rules. So we'd be back to sf::Initialize(r).

I have the same rule

I think just "Initialize", "start" or "Render" won't be good for newbie, because they need to know what they init with it.

It's an action and we need to know on what this action ,... "act" and here we just create something so a verb (alone) is not a good idea I think.

Maybe somthing like "sf::InitializeRender" will be better than just "sf::Initialise"

Or much like say Devlin

sf::GraphicsEnabler;

or sf::Draw(ing)Enabler;

After all It's an objet that let us "Draw" something without an active render target.

And sorry for my english :s

Hi!  (sorry for my English ^^)

sf::GraphicsRoot : because without it the rest can't stand up :p
sf::GraphicsInit     : because we have to create it first.
sf::GraphicsContext : because without context we don't see anything :p

Or just ArtworkThreadInitialiser

*run far far away...*

With only the main thread we need this one? or it's just  with more than one thread?

Hello,

With sfml2 you can have undecorated window (in 1.6 I don't know)
with using style::None when creating  a window.

but if by focus request you mean that sfml  say if you gain or lost focus on a window if it's not in sfml1.6 I have see it in sfml2.
