sf::View zoom help

[slotdev]

Hi

First off, I have read the tutorial on sf::View, and I can't figure out how to make it do what I want, though I know it can, and it's probably very simple.

My graphics are 1024x768. My window is 1280x1024.

I need to zoom the graphics to the size of the window. I cannot use a stretch (forbidden..) so I have to use a view somehow. Can anyone help? I won't even post the code I've tried to do....its quite bad.

You cannot zoom the graphics without stretching them visually -- either you have distorted graphics or black borders. Have you tried to set the view's size to 1024x768?

You could also have a look at exploiter's view tutorial.

It's OK, I figured it out in the end. This is what I do, after opening a window of whatever size is necessary (1920x1080, 800x600, etc etc). My graphics were produced for a default resolution of 1024x768.

                int scrW = graphicsBaseSizeW; //1024 for this game
                int scrH = graphicsBaseSizeH; //768 for this game
                window1View = window1.GetView();
                window1View.Reset(sf::FloatRect(0,0,scrW,scrH));
                window1View.SetViewport(sf::FloatRect(0,0,1,1));
                window1View.SetSize(scrW,scrH);
                window1View.SetCenter((scrW/2),(scrH/2));
                window1.SetView(window1View);
 

Hope this helps someone in future...

Many of the statements in your code are not necessary. SetSize() and SetCenter() override the attributes set by Reset(). The viewport is (0,0,1,1) by default.

Also, why do you get a view from the window if you reset it? You could as well create a new one.

I DO use SFML 2.0 - honestly!!

But then it's a terribly outdated revision
