Get positional data from View in SFML 2.0

[Rubenknex]

I just changed to SFML 2.0 and all went well until I couldn't find a way to retrieve data about the position of the current sf::View. I have a tile map and I only want to draw the tiles that are currently visible. The only way I thought of was to retrieve the data from the projection matrix but it seems kind of hacky :?.

With GetCenter() and GetSize() you can reconstruct the view rectangle.

If rotation is involved, things get more complicated since the rectangle is not aligned on axes anymore.

Correct me if im wrong but he could use the windows ConvertCoords function and convert 4 points on the screen based on the viewport and use those 4 points to create planes to determine which tiles are on screen or not.

Better yet write a function that takes a OBB from a sf::View and takes a position vector and returns whether the tile is inside the view.

I had some problems with the GetCenter() function because the View logic changed in SFML 2.0, I corrected it and everything works fine again.

Yes, it should work.
