Detailed Description

Shader class (vertex, geometry and fragment)

Shaders are programs written using a specific language, executed directly by the graphics card and allowing to apply real-time operations to the rendered entities.

There are three kinds of shaders:

  • Vertex shaders, that process vertices
  • Geometry shaders, that process primitives
  • Fragment (pixel) shaders, that process pixels

A sf::Shader can be composed of either a vertex shader alone, a geometry shader alone, a fragment shader alone, or any combination of them. (see the variants of the load functions).

Shaders are written in GLSL, which is a C-like language dedicated to OpenGL shaders. You'll probably need to learn its basics before writing your own shaders for SFML.

Like any C/C++ program, a GLSL shader has its own variables called uniforms that you can set from your C++ application. sf::Shader handles different types of uniforms:

  • scalars: float, int, bool
  • vectors (2, 3 or 4 components)
  • matrices (3x3 or 4x4)
  • samplers (textures)

Some SFML-specific types can be converted:

Every uniform variable in a shader can be set through one of the setUniform() or setUniformArray() overloads. For example, if you have a shader with the following uniforms:

uniform float offset;
uniform vec3 point;
uniform vec4 color;
uniform mat4 matrix;
uniform sampler2D overlay;
uniform sampler2D current;

You can set their values from C++ code as follows, using the types defined in the sf::Glsl namespace:

shader.setUniform("offset", 2.f);
shader.setUniform("point", sf::Vector3f(0.5f, 0.8f, 0.3f));
shader.setUniform("color", sf::Glsl::Vec4(color)); // color is a sf::Color
shader.setUniform("matrix", sf::Glsl::Mat4(transform)); // transform is a sf::Transform
shader.setUniform("overlay", texture); // texture is a sf::Texture
shader.setUniform("current", sf::Shader::CurrentTexture);

The old setParameter() overloads are deprecated and will be removed in a future version. You should use their setUniform() equivalents instead.

The special Shader::CurrentTexture argument maps the given sampler2D uniform to the current texture of the object being drawn (which cannot be known in advance).

To apply a shader to a drawable, you must pass it as an additional parameter to the Window::draw() draw() function:

window.draw(sprite, &shader);

... which is in fact just a shortcut for this:

states.shader = &shader;
window.draw(sprite, states);

In the code above we pass a pointer to the shader, because it may be null (which means "no shader").

Shaders can be used on any drawable, but some combinations are not interesting. For example, using a vertex shader on a sf::Sprite is limited because there are only 4 vertices, the sprite would have to be subdivided in order to apply wave effects. Another bad example is a fragment shader with sf::Text: the texture of the text is not the actual text that you see on screen, it is a big texture containing all the characters of the font in an arbitrary order; thus, texture lookups on pixels other than the current one may not give you the expected result.

Shaders can also be used to apply global post-effects to the current contents of the target (like the old sf::PostFx class in SFML 1). This can be done in two different ways:

  • draw everything to a sf::RenderTexture, then draw it to the main target using the shader
  • draw everything directly to the main target, then use sf::Texture::update(Window&) to copy its contents to a texture and draw it to the main target using the shader

The first technique is more optimized because it doesn't involve retrieving the target's pixels to system memory, but the second one doesn't impact the rendering process and can be easily inserted anywhere without impacting all the code.

Like sf::Texture that can be used as a raw OpenGL texture, sf::Shader can also be used directly as a raw shader for custom OpenGL geometry.

Member Function Documentation

static void sf::Shader::bind ( const Shader shader)
static

Bind a shader for rendering.

This function is not part of the graphics API, it mustn't be used when drawing SFML entities. It must be used only if you mix sf::Shader with OpenGL code.

sf::Shader s1, s2;
...
sf::Shader::bind(&s1);
// draw OpenGL stuff that use s1...
// draw OpenGL stuff that use s2...
// draw OpenGL stuff that use no shader...
Parameters
shaderShader to bind, can be null to use no shader
unsigned int sf::Shader::getNativeHandle ( ) const

Get the underlying OpenGL handle of the shader.

You shouldn't need to use this function, unless you have very specific stuff to implement that SFML doesn't support, or implement a temporary workaround until a bug is fixed.

Returns
OpenGL handle of the shader or 0 if not yet loaded
static bool sf::Shader::isAvailable ( )
static

Tell whether or not the system supports shaders.

This function should always be called before using the shader features. If it returns false, then any attempt to use sf::Shader will fail.

Returns
True if shaders are supported, false otherwise
static bool sf::Shader::isGeometryAvailable ( )
static

Tell whether or not the system supports geometry shaders.

This function should always be called before using the geometry shader features. If it returns false, then any attempt to use sf::Shader geometry shader features will fail.

This function can only return true if isAvailable() would also return true, since shaders in general have to be supported in order for geometry shaders to be supported as well.

Note: The first call to this function, whether by your code or SFML will result in a context switch.

Returns
True if geometry shaders are supported, false otherwise

Type  type 
)

Load the vertex, geometry or fragment shader from a file.

This function loads a single shader, vertex, geometry or fragment, identified by the second argument. The source must be a text file containing a valid shader in GLSL language.

Specify value for float uniform.

Parameters
nameName of the uniform variable in GLSL
xValue of the float scalar
void sf::Shader::setUniform ( const std::string &  name,
const Glsl::Vec2 vector 
)

Specify value for vec2 uniform.

Parameters
nameName of the uniform variable in GLSL
vectorValue of the vec2 vector

vectorValue of the vec3 vector
void sf::Shader::setUniform ( const std::string &  name,
const Glsl::Vec4 &  vector 
)

Specify value for vec4 uniform.

This overload can also be called with sf::Color objects that are converted to sf::Glsl::Vec4.

It is important to note that the components of the color are normalized before being passed to the shader. Therefore, they are converted from range [0 .. 255] to range [0 .. 1]. For example, a sf::Color(255, 127, 0, 255) will be transformed to a vec4(1.0, 0.5, 0.0, 1.0) in the shader.

Parameters
nameName of the uniform variable in GLSL
vectorValue of the vec4 vector
void sf::Shader::setUniform ( const std::string &  name,
int  x 
)

Specify value for int uniform.

Parameters
nameName of the uniform variable in GLSL
xValue of the int scalar
void sf::Shader::setUniform ( const std::string &  name,
const Glsl::Ivec2 vector 
)

Specify value for ivec2 uniform.

Parameters
nameName of the uniform variable in GLSL
vectorValue of the ivec2 vector
void sf::Shader::setUniform ( const std::string &  name,

Specify value for ivec3 uniform.

Parameters
nameName of the uniform variable in GLSL
vectorValue of the ivec3 vector
void sf::Shader::setUniform ( const std::string &  name,
const Glsl::Ivec4 &  vector 
)

Specify value for ivec4 uniform.

This overload can also be called with sf::Color objects that are converted to sf::Glsl::Ivec4.

If color conversions are used, the ivec4 uniform in GLSL will hold the same values as the original sf::Color instance. For example, sf::Color(255, 127, 0, 255) is mapped to ivec4(255, 127, 0, 255).

Parameters
nameName of the uniform variable in GLSL
vectorValue of the ivec4 vector
void sf::Shader::setUniform ( const std::string &  name,
bool  x 
)

Specify value for bool uniform.

Parameters
nameName of the uniform variable in GLSL
matrixValue of the mat4 matrix
void sf::Shader::setUniform ( const std::string &  name,
const Texture texture 
)

Specify a texture as sampler2D uniform.

name is the name of the variable to change in the shader. The corresponding parameter in the shader must be a 2D texture (sampler2D GLSL type).

Example:

uniform sampler2D the_texture; // this is the variable in the shader
sf::Texture texture;
...
shader.setUniform("the_texture", texture);

It is important to note that texture must remain alive as long as the shader uses it, no copy is made internally.

To use the texture of the object being drawn, which cannot be known in advance, you can pass the special value sf::Shader::CurrentTexture:

shader.setUniform("the_texture", sf::Shader::CurrentTexture).
Parameters
nameName of the texture in the shader
textureTexture to assign
void sf::Shader::setUniform ( const std::string &  name,
CurrentTextureType   
)

Specify current texture as sampler2D uniform.

This overload maps a shader texture variable to the texture of the object being drawn, which cannot be known in advance. The second argument must be sf::Shader::CurrentTexture. The corresponding parameter in the shader must be a 2D texture (sampler2D GLSL type).

Example:

uniform sampler2D current; // this is the variable in the shader
shader.setUniform("current", sf::Shader::CurrentTexture);
Parameters
nameName of the texture in the shader
