How do I set transparent color of a sprite image ? [Solved]
« on: February 02, 2009, 09:46:46 pm »
Hi,

I am new to S.F.M.L.

I made a small demo that creates a window and displays a sprite image.
How do I set the transparent color of a sprite ?
I am loading a JPG image file into the Sprite.

Please look at this screenshot:

Any help would be appreciated!

The class sf::Image contains a method called "CreateMaskFromColor".

Hi, I tried CreateMaskFromColor, but it is not working for me...
Please help!

Code: [Select]

// Load a sprite to display
sf::Image Image;

if (!Image.LoadFromFile("cute_image.jpg"))
return EXIT_FAILURE;

//-----------------------------------------------------------------
// Transparent color of JPG image file "Image" (green)
Image.CreateMaskFromColor(sf::Color(0, 255, 0, 0), 0);
// NOT WORKING ?????
//-----------------------------------------------------------------

sf::Sprite Sprite(Image);

Please note that JPEG is a lossy compression. There may indeed not be a single (0, 255, 0) pixel in that entire image. Use PNG instead. Also, the alpha component is zero... as far as I know JPG doesn't support alpha, so such an invisible color doesn't exist. It should probably be (0, 255, 0, 255)

It is simple than that....

It's not: sf::Color(0, 255, 0, 0)

It is sf::Color(0, 255, 0, 255) or sf::Color(0, 255, 0) XD.
