How to create a VertexArray with a repeated texture

[Daniel Schreiber Mendes]

Hey,
how is the sf::Texture::m_isRepeated feature actually implemented? I looked at the source code but I don't know openGl yet and don't understand if the SFML library or openGl is doing this. Since I am using only vertexArrays for drawing and wanted to still use this feature without having to use a sf::Sprite or a sf::Drawable. I know how I would implement this feature with a vertexArray but I am wondering if there is any performance impact in case this is normally done by openGl.

Best regards,

The texture is repeated (when repeat is active) infinitely in all directions and the co-ordinates for the texture can be the original or any of those repeats. They don't all have to be in the same area either so they can cross a repeat.

Basically, to repeat an entire texture 3 times on a square, start from (0, 0) and cover the area up to (the opposite corner should be at) the texture size multiplied by 3.
For any vertex in an array, to repeat 3 times within any shape, multiply the texture co-ordinate (texCoords) by 3. Similar for any number of repeats and each dimension can be repeated differently.
