Author Topic: SFML 2 Screenshot (Read 6700 times)

Hi there
How do I take a screenshot with SFML 2? I was using 1.6 until an update was forced upon me (thanks, btw). I have to change my code to use SFML 2, but can find nothing about taking a screenshot. Grr. Capture() doesn't exist any more =(

sf::Image::CopyScreen()

You the man.
So, GetEvent() is just replaced with PollEvent()? I know there's WaitEvent(), but I don't want to wait for an event.

Yes, the difference to "wait" is clearer with the term "poll".

Sweet, thanks.
So since there was an arch package for SFML 1.99, I'm assuming it's stable?

Erhm.. SFML 1.99 doesn't exist?

Also yes SFML 2 is very stable it's just that the public API might change from time to time.

It's "1.99.git20110526-1" , which means "SFML 2 alpha". "1.99" alone would mean an official release of SFML 1.99, which is not going to happen

I see. Thanks!

First of all, it is Arch convention to version packages from git as 1.99.gitDATE. See the mesa package in testing, for instance.

For an explanation of why I packaged sfml from git, see here.

Ah, I see. It wasn't hard for me to upgrade anyway. Thanks!
