Detailed Description
Target for off-screen 2D rendering into a texture.
sf::RenderTexture is the little brother of sf::RenderWindow.
It implements the same 2D drawing and OpenGL-related functions (see their base class sf::RenderTarget for more details), the difference is that the result is stored in an off-screen texture rather than being show in a window.
Rendering to a texture can be useful in a variety of situations:
- precomputing a complex static texture (like a level's background from multiple tiles)
- applying post-effects to the whole scene with shaders
- creating a sprite from a 3D object rendered with OpenGL
- etc.
Usage example:
// Create a new render-window
// Create a new render-texture
sf::RenderTexture texture({500, 500});
// The main loop
while (window.isOpen())
{
// Event processing
// ...
// Clear the whole texture with red color
texture.clear(sf::Color::Red);
// Draw stuff to the texture
texture.draw(sprite); // sprite is a sf::Sprite
texture.draw(shape); // shape is a sf::Shape
texture.draw(text); // text is a sf::Text
// We're done drawing to the texture
texture.display();
// Now we start rendering to the window, clear it first
window.clear();
// Draw the texture
sf::Sprite sprite(texture.getTexture());
window.draw(sprite);
// End the current frame and display its contents on screen
window.display();
}
void draw(const Drawable &drawable, const RenderStates &states=RenderStates::Default)
Draw a drawable object to the render target.
void clear(Color color=Color::Black)
Clear the entire target with a single color.
Drawable representation of a texture, with its own transformations, color, etc.
Definition Sprite.hpp:51
Like sf::RenderWindow, sf::RenderTexture is still able to render direct OpenGL stuff. It is even possible to mix together OpenGL calls and regular SFML drawing commands. If you need a depth buffer for 3D rendering, don't forget to request it when calling RenderTexture::create.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
◆ RenderTexture() [1/4]
| sf::RenderTexture::RenderTexture | ( | ) |
◆ RenderTexture() [2/4]
| sf::RenderTexture::RenderTexture | ( | Vector2u | size, |
| const ContextSettings & | settings = {} ) |
Construct a render-texture.
The last parameter, settings, is useful if you want to enable multi-sampling or use the render-texture for OpenGL rendering that requires a depth or stencil buffer. Otherwise it is unnecessary, and you should leave this parameter at its default value.
After creation, the contents of the render-texture are undefined. Call RenderTexture::clear first to ensure a single color fill.
- Parameters
-
size Width and height of the render-texture settings Additional settings for the underlying OpenGL texture and context
- Exceptions
-
sf::Exception if creation was unsuccessful
◆ ~RenderTexture()
|
override |
Destructor.
◆ RenderTexture() [3/4]
|
delete |
Deleted copy constructor.
◆ RenderTexture() [4/4]
|
noexcept |
Move constructor.
Member Function Documentation
◆ clear() [1/2]
|
inherited |
Clear the entire target with a single color and stencil value.
The specified stencil value is truncated to the bit width of the current stencil buffer.
- Parameters
-
color Fill color to use to clear the render target stencilValue Stencil value to clear to
◆ clear() [2/2]
|
inherited |
Clear the entire target with a single color.
This function is usually called once every frame, to clear the previous contents of the target.
- Parameters
-
color Fill color to use to clear the render target
◆ clearStencil()
|
inherited |
Clear the stencil buffer to a specific value.
The specified value is truncated to the bit width of the current stencil buffer.
- Parameters
-
stencilValue Stencil value to clear to
◆ display()
| void sf::RenderTexture::display | ( | ) |
Update the contents of the target texture.
This function updates the target texture with what has been drawn so far. Like for windows, calling this function is mandatory at the end of rendering. Not calling it may leave the texture in an undefined state.
◆ draw() [1/4]
|
inherited |
Draw a drawable object to the render target.
- Parameters
-
drawable Object to draw states Render states to use for drawing
◆ draw() [2/4]
|
inherited |
Draw primitives defined by an array of vertices.
- Parameters
-
vertices Pointer to the vertices vertexCount Number of vertices in the array type Type of primitives to draw states Render states to use for drawing
◆ draw() [3/4]
|
inherited |
Draw primitives defined by a vertex buffer.
- Parameters
-
vertexBuffer Vertex buffer states Render states to use for drawing
◆ draw() [4/4]
|
inherited |
Draw primitives defined by a vertex buffer.
- Parameters
-
vertexBuffer Vertex buffer firstVertex Index of the first vertex to render vertexCount Number of vertices to render states Render states to use for drawing
◆ generateMipmap()
|
nodiscard |
Generate a mipmap using the current texture data.
This function is similar to Texture::generateMipmap and operates on the texture used as the target for drawing. Be aware that any draw operation may modify the base level image data. For this reason, calling this function only makes sense after all drawing is completed and display has been called. Not calling display after subsequent drawing will lead to undefined behavior if a mipmap had been previously generated.
- Returns
- true if mipmap generation was successful, false if unsuccessful
◆ getDefaultView()
|
nodiscardinherited |
◆ getMaximumAntiAliasingLevel()
|
staticnodiscard |
Get the maximum anti-aliasing level supported by the system.
- Returns
- The maximum anti-aliasing level supported by the system
◆ getScissor()
Get the scissor rectangle of a view, applied to this render target.
The scissor rectangle is defined in the view as a ratio. This function simply applies this ratio to the current dimensions of the render target to calculate the pixels rectangle that the scissor rectangle actually covers in the target.
- Parameters
-
view The view for which we want to compute the scissor rectangle
- Returns
- Scissor rectangle, expressed in pixels
◆ getSize()
|
nodiscardoverridevirtual |
Return the size of the rendering region of the texture.
The returned value is the size that you passed to the create function.
- Returns
- Size in pixels
Implements sf::RenderTarget.
◆ getTexture()
|
nodiscard |
Get a read-only reference to the target texture.
After drawing to the render-texture and calling Display, you can retrieve the updated texture using this function, and draw it using a sprite (for example). The internal sf::Texture of a render-texture is always the same instance, so that it is possible to call this function once and keep a reference to the texture even after it is modified.
- Returns
- Const reference to the texture
◆ getView()
|
nodiscardinherited |
Get the view currently in use in the render target.
- Returns
- The view object that is currently used
- See also
- setView, getDefaultView
◆ getViewport()
Get the viewport of a view, applied to this render target.
The viewport is defined in the view as a ratio, this function simply applies this ratio to the current dimensions of the render target to calculate the pixels rectangle that the viewport actually covers in the target.
- Parameters
-
view The view for which we want to compute the viewport
- Returns
- Viewport rectangle, expressed in pixels
◆ initialize()
|
protectedinherited |
Performs the common initialization step after creation.
The derived classes must call this function after the target is created and ready for drawing.
◆ isRepeated()
|
nodiscard |
◆ isSmooth()
|
nodiscard |
Tell whether the smooth filtering is enabled or not.
- Returns
- true if texture smoothing is enabled
- See also
- setSmooth
◆ isSrgb()
|
nodiscardoverridevirtual |
Tell if the render-texture will use sRGB encoding when drawing on it.
You can request sRGB encoding for a render-texture by having the sRgbCapable flag set for the context parameter of create() method
- Returns
- true if the render-texture use sRGB encoding, false otherwise
Reimplemented from sf::RenderTarget.
◆ mapCoordsToPixel() [1/2]
Convert a point from world coordinates to target coordinates, using the current view.
This function is an overload of the mapCoordsToPixel function that implicitly uses the current view. It is equivalent to:
target.mapCoordsToPixel(point, target.getView());
- Parameters
-
point Point to convert
- Returns
- The converted point, in target coordinates (pixels)
- See also
- mapPixelToCoords
◆ mapCoordsToPixel() [2/2]
|
nodiscardinherited |
Convert a point from world coordinates to target coordinates.
This function finds the pixel of the render target that matches the given 2D point. In other words, it goes through the same process as the graphics card, to compute the final position of a rendered point.
Initially, both coordinate systems (world units and target pixels) match perfectly. But if you define a custom view or resize your render target, this assertion is not true anymore, i.e. a point located at (150, 75) in your 2D world may map to the pixel (10, 50) of your render target – if the view is translated by (140, 25).
This version uses a custom view for calculations, see the other overload of the function if you want to use the current view of the render target.
- Parameters
-
point Point to convert view The view to use for converting the point
- Returns
- The converted point, in target coordinates (pixels)
- See also
- mapPixelToCoords
◆ mapPixelToCoords() [1/2]
Convert a point from target coordinates to world coordinates, using the current view.
This function is an overload of the mapPixelToCoords function that implicitly uses the current view. It is equivalent to:
target.mapPixelToCoords(point, target.getView());
- Parameters
-
point Pixel to convert
- Returns
- The converted point, in "world" coordinates
- See also
- mapCoordsToPixel
◆ mapPixelToCoords() [2/2]
|
nodiscardinherited |
Convert a point from target coordinates to world coordinates.
This function finds the 2D position that matches the given pixel of the render target. In other words, it does the inverse of what the graphics card does, to find the initial position of a rendered pixel.
Initially, both coordinate systems (world units and target pixels) match perfectly. But if you define a custom view or resize your render target, this assertion is not true anymore, i.e. a point located at (10, 50) in your render target may map to the point (150, 75) in your 2D world – if the view is translated by (140, 25).
For render-windows, this function is typically used to find which point (or object) is located below the mouse cursor.
This version uses a custom view for calculations, see the other overload of the function if you want to use the current view of the render target.
- Parameters
-
point Pixel to convert view The view to use for converting the point
- Returns
- The converted point, in "world" units
- See also
- mapCoordsToPixel
◆ operator=() [1/2]
|
delete |
Deleted copy assignment.
◆ operator=() [2/2]
|
noexcept |
Move assignment operator.
◆ popGLStates()
|
inherited |
Restore the previously saved OpenGL render states and matrices.
See the description of pushGLStates to get a detailed description of these functions.
- See also
- pushGLStates
◆ pushGLStates()
|
inherited |
Save the current OpenGL render states and matrices.
This function can be used when you mix SFML drawing and direct OpenGL rendering. Combined with popGLStates, it ensures that:
- SFML's internal states are not messed up by your OpenGL code
- your OpenGL states are not modified by a call to a SFML function
More specifically, it must be used around code that calls draw functions. Example:
// OpenGL code here...
window.pushGLStates();
window.draw(...);
window.draw(...);
window.popGLStates();
// OpenGL code here...
Note that this function is quite expensive: it saves all the possible OpenGL states and matrices, even the ones you don't care about. Therefore it should be used wisely. It is provided for convenience, but the best results will be achieved if you handle OpenGL states yourself (because you know which states have really changed, and need to be saved and restored). Take a look at the resetGLStates function if you do so.
- See also
- popGLStates
◆ resetGLStates()
|
inherited |
Reset the internal OpenGL states so that the target is ready for drawing.
This function can be used when you mix SFML drawing and direct OpenGL rendering, if you choose not to use pushGLStates/popGLStates. It makes sure that all OpenGL states needed by SFML are set, so that subsequent draw() calls will work as expected.
Example:
// OpenGL code here...
glPushAttrib(...);
window.resetGLStates();
window.draw(...);
window.draw(...);
glPopAttrib(...);
// OpenGL code here...
◆ resize()
|
nodiscard |
Resize the render-texture.
The last parameter, settings, is useful if you want to enable multi-sampling or use the render-texture for OpenGL rendering that requires a depth or stencil buffer. Otherwise it is unnecessary, and you should leave this parameter at its default value.
After resizing, the contents of the render-texture are undefined. Call RenderTexture::clear first to ensure a single color fill.
- Parameters
-
size Width and height of the render-texture settings Additional settings for the underlying OpenGL texture and context
- Returns
- true if resizing has been successful, false if it failed
◆ setActive()
|
nodiscardoverridevirtual |
Activate or deactivate the render-texture for rendering.
This function makes the render-texture's context current for future OpenGL rendering operations (so you shouldn't care about it if you're not doing direct OpenGL stuff). Only one context can be current in a thread, so if you want to draw OpenGL geometry to another render target (like a RenderWindow) don't forget to activate it again.
- Parameters
-
active true to activate, false to deactivate
- Returns
- true if operation was successful, false otherwise
Reimplemented from sf::RenderTarget.
◆ setRepeated()
| void sf::RenderTexture::setRepeated | ( | bool | repeated | ) |
Enable or disable texture repeating.
This function is similar to Texture::setRepeated. This parameter is disabled by default.
- Parameters
-
repeated true to enable repeating, false to disable it
- See also
- isRepeated
◆ setSmooth()
| void sf::RenderTexture::setSmooth | ( | bool | smooth | ) |
Enable or disable texture smoothing.
This function is similar to Texture::setSmooth. This parameter is disabled by default.
- Parameters
-
smooth true to enable smoothing, false to disable it
- See also
- isSmooth
◆ setView()
|
inherited |
Change the current active view.
The view is like a 2D camera, it controls which part of the 2D scene is visible, and how it is viewed in the render target. The new view will affect everything that is drawn, until another view is set. The render target keeps its own copy of the view object, so it is not necessary to keep the original one alive after calling this function. To restore the original view of the target, you can pass the result of getDefaultView() to this function.
- Parameters
-
view New view to use
- See also
- getView, getDefaultView
