Clarify sf::Shape.getPoints() returns untransformed points
« on: April 02, 2014, 11:58:06 am »
Someone on IRC just asked why the rotation doesn't affect the point list of the CircleShape and upon looking closer, I realized that the points are essentially untransformed points in local space, which makes totally sense, but isn't documented clearly, neither in the documentation nor in the tutorial.

Sure it's kind of obvious and logical, but I think a comment doesn't hurt either, right?
