Hello Forum,

I work on a little drawing tool.
Drawing works fine. But how do i erase with a shape?

I have a circle shape which is my brush.
If i set Alpha to zero. Nothing is drawn. Okay, makes sense.
But how can i use my "brush" to discard already drawn stuff??

Thanks!

Draw your transparent brush with sf::Blend::None rather than the default sf::Blend::Alpha. This way you'll copy transparency instead of applying it.
