sf::RenderWindow draw image

[Munchor]

I'm not being able to draw an sf::Image to a sf::RenderWindow.

Code: [Select]

PlayState.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void PlayState::render()’:
PlayState.cpp:30:34: error: no matching function for call to ‘sf::RenderWindow::draw(sf::Image&)’
PlayState.cpp:30:34: note: candidates are:

/usr/include/SFML/Graphics/RenderTarget.hpp:197:10: note:   candidate expects 4 arguments, 1 provided
make: *** [all] Error 1


void PlayState::render() {
  game->window.clear();
  game->window.draw(player->image);
  game->window.display();
}

That is my code. First of all, isn't sf::Image an sf::Drawable? Secondly, how would I go about passing the sf::RenderStates?

Thank you.






Oh wait, just read this, it all make sense now

Hello,

You have to load the sf::Image in a sf::Texture (to make it simple, a sf::Texture is a picture living on the graphic card, but sf::Image is an array of pixels (image in RAM) ). Then, Create a sf::Sprite and set its texture to the newly created sf::Texture.

//It's an example, you have to keep the sf::Texture and sf::Sprite as members of your class
sf::Texture texture;
texture.loadFromImage(player->image);
sf::Sprite sprite;
sprite.setTexture(texture, true);

//Then, in PlayState::render()
game->window.draw(sprite);

EDIT : The tutorial you've read is for 1.6. In this version, sf::Texture doesn't exists, sf::Sprite used only sf::Image. Now on 2.0, you have to use sf::Texture.
