Does one HAVE to refresh the image?

[declan]

Hi guys. If I plan on having an image just be completely static, do I have to refresh it? Right now, my code is roughly:

Code: [Select]

while(App.IsOpened()){

        App.Display();

}

But does it have to be in that while loop? Could I just display it once and have it sit there?

Thanks!

You need to refresh it, because other windows may overlap yours and invalidate its contents.

But if you want to display a single static image, SFML is probably the wrong choice. It's made for real-time, dynamic stuff.

I wonder if you create a lock mode with something like...

-Make SFML_window always on top/full screen

-Hide Cursor in window

-Move cursor to center of window and lock

Ok, well I like SFML and I'm using it, so I'll just stick with it for now. It was more out of curiosity anyway, and I probably will want to do dynamic stuff later.
