Inline instead of Outline
« on: January 30, 2015, 01:43:17 pm »
It's kinda hard to align multiple shapes along the way, when using an OutlineThickness larger than 2px. Using an "Inline" instead of an "Outline" should be able to solve that.

I can think of a way to realize this by myself for now. But only for RectangleShapes. And I also need this for ConvexShapes.

Pls add Inlines! :(

Do you mean you want the outlines to go inside the shape, rather than expand the overall size? If so you can just use a negative thickness:

rectangleShape.setOutlineThickness(-2.f);

I have to say that this is even mentioned in the Shapes tutorial under the sub-heading "Outline":
Quote from: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.2/graphics-shape.php#common-shape-properties
By default, the outline is extruded outwards from the shape (e.g. if you have a circle with a radius of 10 and an outline thickness of 5, the total radius of the circle will be 15). You can make it extrude towards the center of the shape instead, by setting a negative thickness.
