Detailed Description

Drawable representation of a texture, with its own transformations, color, etc.

sf::Sprite is a drawable class that allows to easily display a texture (or a part of it) on a render target.

It inherits all the functions from sf::Transformable: position, rotation, scale, origin. It also adds sprite-specific properties such as the texture to use, the part of it to display, and some convenience functions to change the overall color of the sprite, or to get its bounding rectangle.

sf::Sprite works in combination with the sf::Texture class, which loads and provides the pixel data of a given texture.

The separation of sf::Sprite and sf::Texture allows more flexibility and better performances: indeed a sf::Texture is a heavy resource, and any operation on it is slow (often too slow for real-time applications). On the other side, a sf::Sprite is a lightweight object which can use the pixel data of a sf::Texture and draw it with its own transformation/color/blending attributes.

It is important to note that the sf::Sprite instance doesn't copy the texture that it uses, it only keeps a reference to it. Thus, a sf::Texture must not be destroyed while it is used by a sf::Sprite (i.e. never write a function that uses a local sf::Texture instance for creating a sprite).

See also the note on coordinates and undistorted rendering in sf::Transformable.

Usage example:

// Load a texture
const sf::Texture texture("texture.png");
 
// Create a sprite
sf::Sprite sprite(texture);
sprite.setTextureRect({{10, 10}, {50, 30}});
sprite.setColor({255, 255, 255, 200});
sprite.setPosition({100.f, 25.f});
 
// Draw it
window.draw(sprite);

Member Function Documentation

◆ getColor()

Color sf::Sprite::getColor ( ) const

nodiscard

Get the global color of the sprite.

Returns: Global color of the sprite

See also: setColor

◆ getGlobalBounds()

FloatRect sf::Sprite::getGlobalBounds ( ) const

nodiscard

Get the global bounding rectangle of the entity.

The returned rectangle is in global coordinates, which means that it takes into account the transformations (translation, rotation, scale, ...) that are applied to the entity. In other words, this function returns the bounds of the sprite in the global 2D world's coordinate system.

Returns: Global bounding rectangle of the entity

◆ getInverseTransform()

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

nodiscardinherited

get the inverse of the combined transform of the object

Returns: Inverse of the combined transformations applied to the object

See also: getTransform

◆ getLocalBounds()

FloatRect sf::Sprite::getLocalBounds ( ) const

nodiscard

Get the local bounding rectangle of the entity.

The returned rectangle is in local coordinates, which means that it ignores the transformations (translation, rotation, scale, ...) that are applied to the entity. In other words, this function returns the bounds of the entity in the entity's coordinate system.

Returns: Local bounding rectangle of the entity

◆ getOrigin()

Vector2f sf::Transformable::getOrigin ( ) const

nodiscardinherited

get the local origin of the object

Returns: Current origin

See also: setOrigin

◆ getPosition()

Vector2f sf::Transformable::getPosition ( ) const

nodiscardinherited

get the position of the object

Returns: Current position

See also: setPosition

◆ getRotation()

Angle sf::Transformable::getRotation ( ) const

nodiscardinherited

get the orientation of the object

The rotation is always in the range [0, 360].

Returns: Current rotation

See also: setRotation

◆ getScale()

Vector2f sf::Transformable::getScale ( ) const

nodiscardinherited

get the current scale of the object

Returns: Current scale factors

See also: setScale

◆ getTexture()

const Texture & sf::Sprite::getTexture ( ) const

nodiscard

Get the source texture of the sprite.

The returned reference is const, which means that you can't modify the texture when you retrieve it with this function.

Returns: Reference to the sprite's texture

See also: setTexture

◆ getTextureRect()

const IntRect & sf::Sprite::getTextureRect ( ) const

nodiscard

Get the sub-rectangle of the texture displayed by the sprite.

Returns: Texture rectangle of the sprite

See also: setTextureRect

◆ getTransform()

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

nodiscardinherited

get the combined transform of the object

Returns: Transform combining the position/rotation/scale/origin of the object

See also: getInverseTransform

◆ move()

void sf::Transformable::move ( Vector2f offset )

inherited

Move the object by a given offset.

This function adds to the current position of the object, unlike setPosition which overwrites it. Thus, it is equivalent to the following code:

object.setPosition(object.getPosition() + offset);

sf::Transformable::getPosition

Vector2f getPosition() const

get the position of the object

Parameters

offset Offset

See also: setPosition

◆ rotate()

void sf::Transformable::rotate ( Angle angle )

inherited

Rotate the object.

This function adds to the current rotation of the object, unlike setRotation which overwrites it. Thus, it is equivalent to the following code:

object.setRotation(object.getRotation() + angle);

sf::Transformable::getRotation

Angle getRotation() const

get the orientation of the object

Parameters

angle Angle of rotation

◆ scale()

void sf::Transformable::scale ( Vector2f factor )

inherited

Scale the object.

This function multiplies the current scale of the object, unlike setScale which overwrites it. Thus, it is equivalent to the following code:

sf::Vector2f scale = object.getScale();

object.setScale(scale.x * factor.x, scale.y * factor.y);

sf::Transformable::scale

void scale(Vector2f factor)

Scale the object.

sf::Vector2< float >

Parameters

factor Scale factors

See also: setScale

◆ setColor()

void sf::Sprite::setColor ( Color color )

Set the global color of the sprite.

This color is modulated (multiplied) with the sprite's texture. It can be used to colorize the sprite, or change its global opacity. By default, the sprite's color is opaque white.

Parameters

color New color of the sprite

See also: getColor

◆ setOrigin()

void sf::Transformable::setOrigin ( Vector2f origin )

inherited

set the local origin of the object

The origin of an object defines the center point for all transformations (position, scale, rotation). The coordinates of this point must be relative to the top-left corner of the object, and ignore all transformations (position, scale, rotation). The default origin of a transformable object is (0, 0).

Parameters

origin New origin

See also: getOrigin

◆ setPosition()

void sf::Transformable::setPosition ( Vector2f position )

inherited

set the position of the object

This function completely overwrites the previous position. See the move function to apply an offset based on the previous position instead. The default position of a transformable object is (0, 0).

Parameters

position New position

See also: move, getPosition

◆ setRotation()

void sf::Transformable::setRotation ( Angle angle )

inherited

set the orientation of the object

This function completely overwrites the previous rotation. See the rotate function to add an angle based on the previous rotation instead. The default rotation of a transformable object is 0.

Parameters

angle New rotation

See also: rotate, getRotation

◆ setScale()

void sf::Transformable::setScale ( Vector2f factors )

inherited

set the scale factors of the object

This function completely overwrites the previous scale. See the scale function to add a factor based on the previous scale instead. The default scale of a transformable object is (1, 1).

Parameters

factors New scale factors

See also: scale, getScale

◆ setTexture() [1/2]

void sf::Sprite::setTexture	(	const Texture &&	texture,
		bool	resetRect = false )

delete

Disallow setting from a temporary texture.

◆ setTexture() [2/2]

void sf::Sprite::setTexture	(	const Texture &	texture,
		bool	resetRect = false )

Change the source texture of the sprite.

The texture argument refers to a texture that must exist as long as the sprite uses it. Indeed, the sprite doesn't store its own copy of the texture, but rather keeps a pointer to the one that you passed to this function. If the source texture is destroyed and the sprite tries to use it, the behavior is undefined. If resetRect is true, the TextureRect property of the sprite is automatically adjusted to the size of the new texture. If it is false, the texture rect is left unchanged.

Parameters

texture	New texture
resetRect	Should the texture rect be reset to the size of the new texture?

See also: getTexture, setTextureRect

◆ setTextureRect()

void sf::Sprite::setTextureRect ( const IntRect & rectangle )

Set the sub-rectangle of the texture that the sprite will display.

The texture rect is useful when you don't want to display the whole texture, but rather a part of it. By default, the texture rect covers the entire texture.

Parameters

rectangle Rectangle defining the region of the texture to display
