Drawing an Ellipse
« on: October 18, 2008, 07:04:31 pm »
Hello,
Is it possible to Add a method to the sf::Shape class for drawing an ellipse, or change the circle function, so that it could draw ellipses?

Isn't an ellipse just a scaled circle?

Yes,
but if I try to scale it, it is just moved by that factor...

Use setCenter to center in the circle center before scale

Hello,
it doesn't work. Also when I center the circle before scaling, it is only moved by this factor.

When setting the center of the circle, it's relative to the top left coordinates of the circle, not the whole window. I was trying to figure this out and made the mistake of assuming otherwise, but I was able to figure out, in case anyone else looks at this thread in the future and wonders the same thing.

Code: [Select]

sf::Shape myEllipse = sf::Shape::Circle(200, 200, 60, sf::Color(255, 0, 0));
myEllipse.SetCenter(30, 30);
myEllipse.SetScale(2, 1);


Instead of writing the SetCenter function like...
Code: [Select]

myEllipse.SetCenter(230, 230);


Solves the problem for me when scaling the circle.
Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right.
