SFML 2 Vertex Miscalibration?
« on: November 24, 2012, 08:36:24 am »
The x values with sf::Vertex seem to be one off what they are meant to be.

This shows nothing:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
        //The Window
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(600, 400), "SFML works!");
        sf::Vertex line[2];

        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                line[0].position.x = 0;
                line[0].position.y = 0;

                line[1].position.x = 0;
                line[1].position.y = 100;

                window.clear();
                window.draw(line, 2, sf::Lines);
                window.display();
        }

        return 0;
}

while this shows a line going across the top of the window

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
        //The Window
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(600, 400), "SFML works!");
        sf::Vertex line[2];

        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                line[0].position.x = 0;
                line[0].position.y = 0;

                line[1].position.x = 100;
                line[1].position.y = 0;

                window.clear();
                window.draw(line, 2, sf::Lines);
                window.display();
        }

        return 0;
}
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.

If your line is on the edge of pixel 0, and is 1 pixel wide, then it will expand from -0.5 to 0.5. This is a border case for the rasterizer and with floating point rounding errors it may end up rasterizing the line on pixel -1 rather than 0.

If you want your line to cover exactly and completely the pixel 0, it must be defined in 0.5.

Oh, I thought they were pixel co ordinates. Thanks.
