Just Declaring a View Makes Screen Blank

[memerson.d]

I am using the below code to display a map. However, when I uncomment the mainView declaration, all my graphics disappear. This occurs even if I do not call setView on my window.

I know the view needs arguments to work correctly, but I removed them just messing around to see if anything would work. Why are things changing without calling setView? any ideas?

int main()
{


   //Get Window Size

   int screenWidth = sf::VideoMode::getDesktopMode().width;
   int screenHeight = sf::VideoMode::getDesktopMode().height -22;



   //Create Window
   sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");

   window.setSize( sf::Vector2u(screenWidth, screenHeight) );
   window.setPosition( sf::Vector2i(0, 0) );


   //sf::View mainView;


   //window.setView(mainView);

   //Init Game

   Map map;

   map.initMap();

   //Main loop
   while (window.isOpen())
   {
      sf::Event event;
      while (window.pollEvent(event))
      {
         //Window Closed
         if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
            window.close();      
      }

      //Drawing
      window.clear();

      map.drawMap(window);

      window.display();
   }

   return 0;
}

So an update:

The view works correctly with the circle example given in the tutorial, but the circle is only drawn if I don't declare my Map class.

I went through and commented out all the SFML functions in my Map class, and the draw event, but just having the Map object in my Main file makes the circle not render.

At this point my Map class is essentially just a 2d array being constructed so I am not sure why it would affect the rendering of anything (It had a vertex array as well before I commented it out).

The reverse seems to be true as well. If I have the circle declared, my map will not render, even if I do not draw the circle.


Is there any chance this is because I have included Graphics.hpp in both files?

The view is empty. Try assigning a shape (size and centre) first.

[memerson.d]

I have done that. I think I mentioned in my first post that it does not have any arguments in this example because I removed them while just messing with the code trying to get something to work.

A point I was trying to make was that just declaring the view:

sf::View mainView;

and then doing nothing else at all with it, would stop anything from rendering, which is very odd to me. I would guess that I would have to at least call setView for anything to change, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

As long as we don't see your Map class, we can't help much. And don't post it directly, try to find the most minimal piece of code that reproduces the problem (remove unnecessary variables and functions)
