Detailed Description
Image living on the graphics card that can be used for drawing.
sf::Texture
stores pixels that can be drawn, with a sprite for example.
A texture lives in the graphics card memory, therefore it is very fast to draw a texture to a render target, or copy a render target to a texture (the graphics card can access both directly).
Being stored in the graphics card memory has some drawbacks. A texture cannot be manipulated as freely as a sf::Image
, you need to prepare the pixels first and then upload them to the texture in a single operation (see Texture::update
).
sf::Texture
makes it easy to convert from/to sf::Image
, but keep in mind that these calls require transfers between the graphics card and the central memory, therefore they are slow operations.
A texture can be loaded from an image, but also directly from a file/memory/stream. The necessary shortcuts are defined so that you don't need an image first for the most common cases. However, if you want to perform some modifications on the pixels before creating the final texture, you can load your file to a sf::Image
, do whatever you need with the pixels, and then call Texture(const Image&)
.
Since they live in the graphics card memory, the pixels of a texture cannot be accessed without a slow copy first. And they cannot be accessed individually. Therefore, if you need to read the texture's pixels (like for pixel-perfect collisions), it is recommended to store the collision information separately, for example in an array of booleans.
Like sf::Image
, sf::Texture
can handle a unique internal representation of pixels, which is RGBA 32 bits. This means that a pixel must be composed of 8 bit red, green, blue and alpha channels – just like a sf::Color
.
When providing texture data from an image file or memory, it can either be stored in a linear color space or an sRGB color space. Most digital images account for gamma correction already, so they would need to be "uncorrected" back to linear color space before being processed by the hardware. The hardware can automatically convert it from the sRGB color space to a linear color space when it gets sampled. When the rendered image gets output to the final framebuffer, it gets converted back to sRGB.
This option is only useful in conjunction with an sRGB capable framebuffer. This can be requested during window creation.
Usage example:
Like sf::Shader
that can be used as a raw OpenGL shader, sf::Texture
can also be used directly as a raw texture for custom OpenGL geometry.

Member Function Documentation
◆ bind()
|
static |
Bind a texture 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::Texture
with OpenGL code.
The coordinateType
argument controls how texture coordinates will be interpreted. If Normalized (the default), they must be in range [0 .. 1], which is the default way of handling texture coordinates with OpenGL. If Pixels, they must be given in pixels (range [0 .. size]). This mode is used internally by the graphics classes of SFML, it makes the definition of texture coordinates more intuitive for the high-level API, users don't need to compute normalized values.
- Parameters
-
texture Pointer to the texture to bind, can be null to use no texture coordinateType Type of texture coordinates to use
◆ copyToImage()
|
nodiscard |
Copy the texture pixels to an image.
This function performs a slow operation that downloads the texture's pixels from the graphics card and copies them to a new image, potentially applying transformations to pixels if necessary (texture may be padded or flipped).
- Returns
- Image containing the texture's pixels
- See also
loadFromImage
◆ generateMipmap()
|
nodiscard |
Generate a mipmap using the current texture data.
Mipmaps are pre-computed chains of optimized textures. Each level of texture in a mipmap is generated by halving each of the previous level's dimensions. This is done until the final level has the size of 1x1. The textures generated in this process may make use of more advanced filters which might improve the visual quality of textures when they are applied to objects much smaller than they are. This is known as minification. Because fewer texels (texture elements) have to be sampled from when heavily minified, usage of mipmaps can also improve rendering performance in certain scenarios.
Mipmap generation relies on the necessary OpenGL extension being available. If it is unavailable or generation fails due to another reason, this function will return false
. Mipmap data is only valid from the time it is generated until the next time the base level image is modified, at which point this function will have to be called again to regenerate it.
- Returns
true
if mipmap generation was successful,false
if unsuccessful
◆ getMaximumSize()
|
staticnodiscard |
Get the maximum texture size allowed.
This maximum size is defined by the graphics driver. You can expect a value of 512 pixels for low-end graphics card, and up to 8192 pixels or more for newer hardware.
- Returns
- Maximum size allowed for textures, in pixels
◆ getNativeHandle()
|
nodiscard |
Get the underlying OpenGL handle of the texture.
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 texture or 0 if not yet created
◆ getSize()
|
nodiscard |
Return the size of the texture.
- Returns
- Size in pixels
◆ isRepeated()
|
nodiscard |
Tell whether the texture is repeated or not.

true
if repeat mode is enabled,false
if it is disabled

|
nodiscard |
Tell whether the texture source is converted from sRGB or not.
- Returns
true
if the texture source is converted from sRGB,false
if not
- See also
setSrgb
◆ loadFromFile()
|
nodiscard |
Load the texture from a file on disk.
The area
argument can be used to load only a sub-rectangle of the whole image. If you want the entire image then leave the default value (which is an empty IntRect
). If the area
rectangle crosses the bounds of the image, it is adjusted to fit the image size.
The maximum size for a texture depends on the graphics driver and can be retrieved with the getMaximumSize
function.
If this function fails, the texture is left unchanged.

◆ operator=() [1/2]
◆ operator=() [2/2]
◆ resize()
|
nodiscard |

If this function fails, the texture is left unchanged.
- Parameters
-
size Width and height of the texture sRgb true
to enable sRGB conversion,false
to disable it
- Returns
true
if resizing was successful,false
if it failed
◆ setRepeated()
void sf::Texture::setRepeated | ( | bool | repeated | ) |
Enable or disable repeating.
Repeating is involved when using texture coordinates outside the texture rectangle [0, 0, width, height]. In this case, if repeat mode is enabled, the whole texture will be repeated as many times as needed to reach the coordinate (for example, if the X texture coordinate is 3 * width, the texture will be repeated 3 times). If repeat mode is disabled, the "extra space" will instead be filled with border pixels. Warning: on very old graphics cards, white pixels may appear when the texture is repeated. With such cards, repeat mode can be used reliably only if the texture has power-of-two dimensions (such as 256x128). Repeating is disabled by default.
- Parameters
-
repeated true
to repeat the texture,false
to disable repeating
- See also
isRepeated
◆ setSmooth()
void sf::Texture::setSmooth | ( | bool | smooth | ) |
Enable or disable the smooth filter.
When the filter is activated, the texture appears smoother so that pixels are less noticeable. However if you want the texture to look exactly the same as its source file, you should leave it disabled. The smooth filter is disabled by default.
- Parameters
-
smooth true
to enable smoothing,false
to disable it
- See also
isSmooth
◆ swap()
|
noexcept |
Swap the contents of this texture with those of another.
- Parameters
-
right Instance to swap with
◆ update() [1/8]
void sf::Texture::update | ( | const Image & | image | ) |
Update the texture from an image.
Although the source image can be smaller than the texture, this function is usually used for updating the whole texture. The other overload, which has an additional destination argument, is more convenient for updating a sub-area of the texture.
No additional check is performed on the size of the image. Passing an image bigger than the texture will lead to an undefined behavior.
This function does nothing if the texture was not previously created.
- Parameters
-
image Image to copy to the texture
◆ update() [2/8]
Update a part of the texture from an image.
No additional check is performed on the size of the image. Passing an invalid combination of image size and destination will lead to an undefined behavior.
This function does nothing if the texture was not previously created.
- Parameters
-
image Image to copy to the texture dest Coordinates of the destination position
◆ update() [3/8]
void sf::Texture::update | ( | const std::uint8_t * | pixels | ) |
Update the whole texture from an array of pixels.
The pixel array is assumed to have the same size as the area
rectangle, and to contain 32-bits RGBA pixels.
No additional check is performed on the size of the pixel array. Passing invalid arguments will lead to an undefined behavior.
This function does nothing if pixels
is nullptr
or if the texture was not previously created.
- Parameters
-
pixels Array of pixels to copy to the texture
◆ update() [4/8]
Update a part of the texture from an array of pixels.
The size of the pixel array must match the size
argument, and it must contain 32-bits RGBA pixels.
No additional check is performed on the size of the pixel array or the bounds of the area to update. Passing invalid arguments will lead to an undefined behavior.
This function does nothing if pixels
is null or if the texture was not previously created.
- Parameters
-
pixels Array of pixels to copy to the texture size Width and height of the pixel region contained in pixels
dest Coordinates of the destination position
◆ update() [5/8]
void sf::Texture::update | ( | const Texture & | texture | ) |
Update a part of this texture from another texture.
Although the source texture can be smaller than this texture, this function is usually used for updating the whole texture. The other overload, which has an additional destination argument, is more convenient for updating a sub-area of this texture.
No additional check is performed on the size of the passed texture. Passing a texture bigger than this texture will lead to an undefined behavior.
This function does nothing if either texture was not previously created.
- Parameters
-
texture Source texture to copy to this texture
◆ update() [6/8]
Update a part of this texture from another texture.
No additional check is performed on the size of the texture. Passing an invalid combination of texture size and destination will lead to an undefined behavior.

Although the source window can be smaller than the texture, this function is usually used for updating the whole texture. The other overload, which has an additional destination argument, is more convenient for updating a sub-area of the texture.
No additional check is performed on the size of the window. Passing a window bigger than the texture will lead to an undefined behavior.
This function does nothing if either the texture or the window was not previously created.
- Parameters
-
window Window to copy to the texture
◆ update() [8/8]
Update a part of the texture from the contents of a window.
No additional check is performed on the size of the window. Passing an invalid combination of window size and destination will lead to an undefined behavior.
