Graphics / sf::string Text using as sprintf?

« on: April 09, 2010, 10:22:04 pm »

Hello

I want to use the sf::string class to print a variable, just as printf and sprintf in DOS.
I tried something like this:

Code: [Select]


//...
sf::Image Image;
    sf::Font MyFont;
    if (!Image.LoadFromFile("Bubbles.png") ||
        !MyFont.LoadFromFile("arial.ttf", 50))
           return EXIT_FAILURE;

    sf::String Hello;
    Hello.SetText("Pos y : %f Pos x : %f " ,Posy, Posx);
    Hello.SetFont(MyFont);
    Hello.SetColor(sf::Color(0, 128, 128));
    Hello.SetPosition(100.f, 100.f);
    Hello.SetRotation(15.f);
    Hello.SetSize(50.f);


The coordinates ought to show the point of the picture, but it didnt work.
I figured out "SetText" can only contain a naked text without variables.

Code: [Select]

C:\...\main.cpp|34|error: no matching function for call to `sf::String::SetText(float&)'|

Now I wonder if there is any way to pass out a variable to the window with SFML.
In case I ignored something in the tuts don't be mean to me, please!
(I really was searching for the answer!)

Thank you : )
