sf::View.get/setCoordinates()
« on: August 14, 2012, 03:21:54 am »
I would like to have the above mentioned methods.

It does not look good if i have to write something like this:
sf::Vector2i Coord=sf::Vector2i(myView.getCenter().x-myView.getSize().x/2,myView.getCenter().y-myView.getSize().y/2);
everytime i need to set or get the Top-Left Coordinates

And why not:
sf::Vector2f Coord = myView.getCenter() - myView.getSize() / 2.f;
?

The origin of views is their center point. That's the most intuitive solution for 90% of use cases, so I won't change it just for you ;)

If you write the same code again and again, you have not understood an important point in programming. Write a global function that takes a view and returns its top-left coordinates.
