ConcaveShape
« on: September 02, 2016, 12:48:35 pm »
Hi all. I just wrote some class for concave shapes, but because of being pretty new to SFML and even C++ (this is only my second project with SFML),so I decided to ask you if it is ok and ask you for some advices, and thank you for your time  :)

ConcaveShape.hpp
(click to show/hide)

ConcaveShape.cpp
(click to show/hide)

Usage example
(click to show/hide)

I created it for displaying some charts, so there are few examples:

Just a couple of points that I could see with a quick look:

1) Instead of:
if (texture!=nullptr) {states.texture=texture;}
you can just use:
states.texture = texture;
as nullptr is a valid value for states.texture

2) This is just a question. Why do you attempt to delete the external texture that is used when the object is destroyed? This texture may be used elsewhere.

1) Done  :)
2) ...nevermind- just forgot to remove "delete"...

Thanks ^^

This is not equivalent. The first version uses the states' texture by default unless there's one in the shape. The second one always uses the shape's texture and ignores the states one.

This is true. It's not exactly equivalent.
It's equivalent for most standard cases but doesn't allow passing another texture in the states call to draw, if that's what you need.
I would argue, though, that being stricter about which texture is being used (by only allowing it to be specified in the actual class) is more predictable.

I just wanted to point out that changing this code would slightly change the behaviour of the class. I didn't mean that one was better than the other ;)
