GetPosition for shapes and sprites

[Nerolat]

Hello, I keep getting 0 from GetPosition().x and GetPosition().y everytime I use it. No matter if it is a sprite, a shpae or anything.
       

x = Rect.GetPosition().x;
        std::cout << x << std::endl; // Always prints 0;

Here is the line where I create that rectangle:

sf::Shape Rect = sf::Shape::Rectangle(0, 0, 20, 20, sf::Color::Red);

And? Until you call SetPosition, GetPosition will return the default position which is (0, 0).

Thanks for reply, Laurent, however even if I set it to

sf::Shape Rect = sf::Shape::Rectangle(100, 100, 20, 20, sf::Color::Red);

It still returns 0. Using SFML 1.6

EDIT:

Stupid of me. I thought first args of constructor are pos.

Well RTFM! it's so nice and easy understandable.

Also I advise you to use SFML 2, because SFML 1.6 hasn't been touched over 2 years, has many bugs and lacks a lot of new and shiny features.

Thanks! You are my savior!

By the way, another question -
what shape should I use for lines? I thought there is a shape in SFML 2.0 especially made for lines.

None, use sf::vertices directly for that.

Two vertexes or a VertexArray with sf::lines as a primitive should suffice.
