sf::Sprite.getGlobalBounds().width or height
« on: October 10, 2012, 01:11:48 pm »
I've worked out that sf::Sprite.getGlobalBounds().left and top get the left most and the top most parts of the sprite after transformations, though what does width and height do? Does it get the distance from the left most corner to the right most corner / the top most corner to the bottom most corner or something else? Thanks.
If a picture tells 1000 words, then a YouTube video clearly tells 1000000 making a YouTube video obviously a larger work than the Lord Of The Rings, or some other massive novel. Thus are the laws of YouTube videos.

The global bounds is an axis-aligned (not rotated) rectangle, so it may be bigger than the sprite itself if it is rotated. Something like this:
