drawing std::map of vertices
« on: October 23, 2012, 09:26:49 pm »
Is there any way to directly draw an std::map of vertexes with sf::RenderWindow?

By using a map instead of an array it's easier to adjust changing vertices.
This is because the positions of the vertices within the map are not dependent on when the vertices were added or changed.
The alternative would be to create a new vertex array every time a vertex changes.

I'm using SFML 2 by the way.

Thanks!

PS. If it's currently not possible, but not too hard to implement, please view this as a feature request  :)

Impossible, vertices must be in contiguous memory space.

Thanks, I'll probably use the alternative option then  ;)
