sf::Image from list of sf::Shapes?

[evil_twinkie]

Hey everyone.

The project I'm currently working on generates a graph.  It creates an std::vector of sf::Shapes that represent the plots, grid, etc...

I want to be able to export this list of shapes to a file.  I know that Image.SaveToFile can do this with images, but is there a way to combine all of my shapes into one sf::Image?

You must draw them, then save the result to an image (and then to a file). With SFML 2 you can use sf::RenderImage. With SFML 1 you'll have to draw them to a RenderWindow (so they'll be visible).

Okay that's what I figured.

The graph fills only a part of the RenderWindow when it's drawn, and that's the only thing I want saved to an image file.

Is there a way I can cut down an sf::Image to certain dimensions after calling RederWindow.Capture?  Otherwise, I tried sf::Image.CopyScreen(RW, sf::IntRect) but the screenshot is mirrored.

You can use Image::Copy to extract a region of an image.
