Detailed Description

2D camera that defines what region is shown on screen

sf::View defines a camera in the 2D scene.

This is a very powerful concept: you can scroll, rotate or zoom the entire scene without altering the way that your drawable objects are drawn.

A view is composed of a source rectangle, which defines what part of the 2D scene is shown, and a target viewport, which defines where the contents of the source rectangle will be displayed on the render target (window or texture).

The viewport allows to map the scene to a custom part of the render target, and can be used for split-screen or for displaying a minimap, for example. If the source rectangle doesn't have the same size as the viewport, its contents will be stretched to fit in.

To apply a view, you have to assign it to the render target. Then, objects drawn in this render target will be affected by the view until you use another view.

Usage example:

sf::RenderWindow window;
sf::View view;
// Initialize the view to a rectangle located at (100, 100) and with a size of 400x200
view.reset(sf::FloatRect(100, 100, 400, 200));
// Rotate it by 45 degrees
view.rotate(45);
// Set its target viewport to be half of the window
view.setViewport(sf::FloatRect(0.f, 0.f, 0.5f, 1.f));
// Apply it
window.setView(view);
// Render stuff
window.draw(someSprite);
// Set the default view back
window.setView(window.getDefaultView());
// Render stuff not affected by the view
window.draw(someText);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

sf::View::View ( )

Default constructor.

This constructor creates a default view of (0, 0, 1000, 1000)

sf::View::View ( const FloatRect & rectangle )

explicit

Construct the view from a rectangle.

Parameters

rectangle Rectangle defining the zone to display

sf::View::View	(	const Vector2f &	center,
		const Vector2f &	size
	)

Construct the view from its center and size.

Parameters

center	Center of the zone to display
size	Size of zone to display

Member Function Documentation

const Vector2f& sf::View::getCenter ( ) const

Get the center of the view.

Returns: Center of the view

See also: getSize, setCenter

const Transform& sf::View::getInverseTransform ( ) const

Get the inverse projection transform of the view.

This function is meant for internal use only.

Returns: Inverse of the projection transform defining the view

See also: getTransform

float sf::View::getRotation ( ) const

Get the current orientation of the view.

Returns: Rotation angle of the view, in degrees

See also: setRotation

const Vector2f& sf::View::getSize ( ) const

Get the size of the view.

Returns: Size of the view

See also: getCenter, setSize

const Transform& sf::View::getTransform ( ) const

Get the projection transform of the view.

This function is meant for internal use only.

Returns: Projection transform defining the view

See also: getInverseTransform

const FloatRect& sf::View::getViewport ( ) const

Get the target viewport rectangle of the view.

Returns: Viewport rectangle, expressed as a factor of the target size

See also: setViewport

void sf::View::move	(	float	offsetX,
		float	offsetY
	)

Move the view relatively to its current position.

Parameters

offsetX	X coordinate of the move offset
offsetY	Y coordinate of the move offset

See also: setCenter, rotate, zoom

void sf::View::move ( const Vector2f & offset )

Move the view relatively to its current position.

Parameters

offset Move offset

See also: setCenter, rotate, zoom

void sf::View::reset ( const FloatRect & rectangle )

Reset the view to the given rectangle.

Note that this function resets the rotation angle to 0.

Parameters

rectangle Rectangle defining the zone to display

See also: setCenter, setSize, setRotation

void sf::View::rotate ( float angle )

Rotate the view relatively to its current orientation.

Parameters

angle Angle to rotate, in degrees

See also: setRotation, move, zoom

void sf::View::setCenter	(	float	x,
		float	y
	)

Set the center of the view.

Parameters

x	X coordinate of the new center
y	Y coordinate of the new center

See also: setSize, getCenter

void sf::View::setCenter ( const Vector2f & center )

Set the center of the view.

Parameters

center New center

See also: setSize, getCenter

void sf::View::setRotation ( float angle )

Set the orientation of the view.

The default rotation of a view is 0 degree.

Parameters

angle New angle, in degrees

See also: getRotation

void sf::View::setSize	(	float	width,
		float	height
	)

Set the size of the view.

Parameters

width	New width of the view
height	New height of the view

See also: setCenter, getCenter

void sf::View::setSize ( const Vector2f & size )

Set the size of the view.

Parameters

size New size

See also: setCenter, getCenter

void sf::View::setViewport ( const FloatRect & viewport )

Set the target viewport.

The viewport is the rectangle into which the contents of the view are displayed, expressed as a factor (between 0 and 1) of the size of the RenderTarget to which the view is applied. For example, a view which takes the left side of the target would be defined with View.setViewport(sf::FloatRect(0, 0, 0.5, 1)). By default, a view has a viewport which covers the entire target.

Parameters

viewport New viewport rectangle

See also: getViewport

void sf::View::zoom ( float factor )

Resize the view rectangle relatively to its current size.

Resizing the view simulates a zoom, as the zone displayed on screen grows or shrinks. factor is a multiplier:

1 keeps the size unchanged
> 1 makes the view bigger (objects appear smaller)
< 1 makes the view smaller (objects appear bigger)

Parameters

factor Zoom factor to apply
