Detailed Description

Define a set of one or more 2D primitives.

sf::VertexArray is a very simple wrapper around a dynamic array of vertices and a primitives type.

It inherits sf::Drawable, but unlike other drawables it is not transformable.

Example:

sf::VertexArray lines(sf::LineStrip, 4);
lines[0].position = sf::Vector2f(10, 0);
lines[1].position = sf::Vector2f(20, 0);
lines[2].position = sf::Vector2f(30, 5);
lines[3].position = sf::Vector2f(40, 2);
 
window.draw(lines);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

VertexArray() [1/2]

sf::VertexArray::VertexArray

(

)

Default constructor.

Creates an empty vertex array.

VertexArray() [2/2]

sf::VertexArray::VertexArray ( PrimitiveType  type, std::size_t  vertexCount = 0  )

explicit

Construct the vertex array with a type and an initial number of vertices.

Parameters

type	Type of primitives
vertexCount	Initial number of vertices in the array

Member Function Documentation

append()

void sf::VertexArray::append

(

const Vertex &

vertex

)

Add a vertex to the array.

Parameters

vertex

Vertex to add

clear()

void sf::VertexArray::clear

(

)

Clear the vertex array.

This function removes all the vertices from the array. It doesn't deallocate the corresponding memory, so that adding new vertices after clearing doesn't involve reallocating all the memory.

getBounds()

FloatRect sf::VertexArray::getBounds

(

)

const

Compute the bounding rectangle of the vertex array.

This function returns the minimal axis-aligned rectangle that contains all the vertices of the array.

Returns

Bounding rectangle of the vertex array

getPrimitiveType()

PrimitiveType sf::VertexArray::getPrimitiveType

(

)

const

Get the type of primitives drawn by the vertex array.

Returns

Primitive type

getVertexCount()

std::size_t sf::VertexArray::getVertexCount

(

)

const

Return the vertex count.

Returns

Number of vertices in the array

operator[]() [1/2]

Vertex & sf::VertexArray::operator[]

(

std::size_t

index

)

Get a read-write access to a vertex by its index.

This function doesn't check index, it must be in range [0, getVertexCount() - 1]. The behavior is undefined otherwise.

Parameters

index

Index of the vertex to get

Returns

Reference to the index-th vertex

See also

getVertexCount

operator[]() [2/2]

const Vertex & sf::VertexArray::operator[]

(

std::size_t

index

)

const

Get a read-only access to a vertex by its index.

This function doesn't check index, it must be in range [0, getVertexCount() - 1]. The behavior is undefined otherwise.

Parameters

index

Index of the vertex to get

Returns

Const reference to the index-th vertex

See also

getVertexCount

resize()

void sf::VertexArray::resize

(

std::size_t

vertexCount

)

Resize the vertex array.

If vertexCount is greater than the current size, the previous vertices are kept and new (default-constructed) vertices are added. If vertexCount is less than the current size, existing vertices are removed from the array.

Parameters

vertexCount

New size of the array (number of vertices)

setPrimitiveType()

void sf::VertexArray::setPrimitiveType

(

PrimitiveType

type

)

Set the type of primitives to draw.

This function defines how the vertices must be interpreted when it's time to draw them:

• As points
• As lines
• As triangles
• As quads The default primitive type is sf::Points.

Parameters

type	Type of primitive
