Question in sf::Text
« on: April 16, 2015, 02:56:45 pm »
I created sf::Text and used setPosition(50,50);.
but when i give getGlobalBounds(); I interestingly get the following
If you notice the attachment you see that top is showing 58 rather than 50.
  • Where is this extra 8 pixels coming from?
  • How to remove them?

Text is aligned on its baseline, not on its top. You would get 50 if you had the tallest possible character in your string (like an accentuated capital letter).
