Graphics / sf::Text::setCharacterSize() memory leak, maybe (Solved)

« on: March 15, 2023, 08:18:48 pm »

I made a gui and I am using a slider to change the font size of a text. The memory remains stable when not changing the value, but every time it's changed it increases memory use. So if I swing the slider back and forth a bit, it eats up my 32GB memory very quickly.

Is it supposed to do this and should I be scaling instead of changing the character size?


Edit: I fixed this issue by using this font function in sf::Text::setCharacterSize()

void Font::clearPages() const
{
    // Reset members
    m_pages.clear();
    std::vector<std::uint8_t>().swap(m_pixelBuffer);
}

Graphics / sf::Angle not working?

« on: January 22, 2023, 02:32:00 am »

I'm trying to follow an sf::View tutorial by exploiter, but I can't use the rotate() method at all. (version 2.5.1 on Windows 10 x64)

Here's what I've tried so far:

   sf::Angle angle(180.f); // error
   sf::Angle angle2 = 180.f; // error
   sf::Angle angle3; // No method to change this thing's angle

   view.rotate(180.f); // error
   view.rotate(angle3); // works but can't change angle
   view.setRotation(180.f); // same thing

Can't we just use a float or something, or am I not supposed to use this method?
