Resizing images

[Karleon]

Hello!

This is my very first question. I just started messing with SFML, so.... please be gently if I look a bit retarded


I have two Images:

-One small image composed of 5 different tiles.

-One big and empty image.

I want to make a mosaic-like image in the big one, using the tiles in the small one. The small image with the tiles have always the same size, but I want to be able, by changing the value of a constant I have in my code, to resize the tiles.


The funcion:

void    copy (const Image &source, unsigned int destX, unsigned int destY, const IntRect &sourceRect=IntRect(0, 0, 0, 0), bool applyAlpha=false)

Doesn't really fit my needs, since it would just pick the 20x20 image, and paste it as a 20x20 image, and I want to paste it as a 40x40 image (for example).


Is there any way to paste a resized version of the copied image?

I'd advise you to use SFML 2, which has less bugs, isn't 2 years old and unmaintained.

Anyways you don't have to copy things around, just use a sf::Sprite and the SetSubRect function to define which part of the sf::Image should get displayed.

I'm using SFML 2.0

If I use sprites... if i want to make a 10x10 tile mosaic.... should I be using 100 differente sprites? Or using a single sprite changing it's properties each time I want to draw a single tile?

The idea was to compose the big image with the little tiles once, and draw the result for the rest of the execution...

Am  missing something?

Okay then you could just use one sf::Sprite and change the position and texture coords and draw it onto a sf::RenderTexture. Then you assign the texture of the render texture to another sprite and use that through out the rest of the execution.
