Fitting Sprite to Window on Resize

[Xander314]

I was resizing my sprite to fit my window using:

Code: [Select]

Sprite.Scale((float)Window.GetWidth()/(float)Sprite.GetImage()->GetWidth(), (float)Window.GetHeight()/(float)Sprite.GetImage()->GetHeight());
and then

Code: [Select]

Sprite.Resize(Window.GetWidth(), Window.GetHeight());
when the sf::Event::Resize event is dispatched.

However, I have noticed that when I resize the window smaller than the video mode, the sprite no longer fits the screen. Why is this? And is there anything I can do about it?

Also, for the sf::Event::Resize event, what is the relevance of the values Event::Size::Width and Event::Size::Height. Surely they are the same as the values returned by Window::GetWidth() and Window::GetHeight()?

When a window is resized, its view doesn't change which means that things are already automatically scaled.

So you just need to resize your sprite at the beginning, no need to adjust it on resize events.

Also, for the sf::Event::Resize event, what is the relevance of the values Event::Size::Width and Event::Size::Height. Surely they are the same as the values returned by Window::GetWidth() and Window::GetHeight()?

Of course they are

Strictly speaking therefore, should my resize operation be this instread:

Code: [Select]

Sprite.Resize(VideoMode.X, VideoMode.Y);?

Yes.
