Using views for splitscreen, minimap or similar (1.6)

[Tenry]

Is there any way to use views that only draw at a certain portion on the render target? I have searched the forums, but I don't understand the things I find or they use OpenGL functions.
I currently understand views in sfml like that, that they will always cover the whole screen. Let's say, we want to draw a small minimap in the top right corner. But no matter what I do, the minimap will cover the whole window, not letting me see what in the actual world is.

Or do I misunderstand something?

Yes, the viewport specifies the part of the window to which things are rendered.

Viewports are a SFML 2 feature, see here.

Okay, thanks for the hint!
I'm looking forward to 2.0, it seems to have so many new useful features.
