auto-scale/positioning of Text

[durito]

Hi all,

First of all, I'm new to SFML and so far very happy with it (I used SDL before).

I'm now using SFML for a project with OpenGL rendering and some text output (with sf::String).

Code: [Select]

sf::String Text("text", _font, 16);
Text.SetPosition(20.0, 20.0);


The "text" is then rendered as expected with the given position and size in a sf::RenderWindow. But as soon as the window is resized, the text changes its size and position and seems to be scaled. How can I avoid this text-autoscaling? I need this text on a given position on the screen and not jumping around as soon as the window is resized  :shock:

thanks,
Daniel

This is because of the default view's behaviour. To get the expected result, you have to adjust it when the window is resized.

Code: [Select]

while (event loop ...)
{
    if (event.Type == sf::Event::Resized)
    {
        float width = static_cast<float>(event.Size.Width);
        float height = static_cast<float>(event.Size.Height);
        window.GetDefaultView().SetRect(sf::FloatRect(0, 0, width, height));
    }
}

great, thanks!
