Best way to use sf::Image and sf::Text

[Law]

Hey,

I'm writing a code that would use several .png files to build an sf::Image from scratch, and at some point I have to add texts on that image. It is my understanding that there's no straightforward way for this, so I was going to actually draw the sf::Sprite then the sf::Text on my sf::RenderWindow, then use the sf::RenderWindow::capture function to get the final image with text on it.

Is this the best way though? I was under the impression that the capture function takes time, and I was hoping to find something more convenient.

Thanks!

Use an sf::RenderTexture.
It's like drawing on a window, but on a texture. (And you can get its sf::Image afterwards, if that's really what you want)
