SFML equivalent of SDL Blitting?
« on: July 10, 2012, 08:35:09 pm »
Hi. I am working on my first SFML project and I am trying to figure out how to create a sprite using an x, y, width and height source from a texture.

For my example, I am working on a menu system with text and I would rather not save 20 different individual text images. Is such an operation possible in SFML?

Thanks!

Laurent

The sprite can show a sub-rectangle rather than the entire texture. Use Sprite::setTextureRect.
