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 has not 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, every 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);
void draw(const Drawable &drawable, const RenderStates &states=RenderStates::Default)
Draw a drawable object to the render target.
const View & getDefaultView() const
Get the default view of the render target.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
◆ View() [1/3]
| sf::View::View | ( | ) |
Default constructor.
This constructor creates a default view of (0, 0, 1000, 1000)
◆ View() [2/3]
|
explicit |
Construct the view from a rectangle.
- Parameters
-
rectangle Rectangle defining the zone to display
◆ View() [3/3]
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
◆ getCenter()
| const Vector2f & sf::View::getCenter | ( | ) | const |
◆ getInverseTransform()
| 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
◆ getRotation()
| float sf::View::getRotation | ( | ) | const |
Get the current orientation of the view.
- Returns
- Rotation angle of the view, in degrees
- See also
- setRotation
◆ getSize()
| const Vector2f & sf::View::getSize | ( | ) | const |
◆ getTransform()
| 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
◆ getViewport()
| 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
◆ move() [1/2]
| void sf::View::move | ( | const Vector2f & | offset | ) |
◆ move() [2/2]
| void sf::View::move | ( | float | offsetX, |
| float | offsetY ) |
◆ reset()
| 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
◆ rotate()
| 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
◆ setCenter() [1/2]
| void sf::View::setCenter | ( | const Vector2f & | center | ) |
◆ setCenter() [2/2]
| void sf::View::setCenter | ( | float | x, |
| float | y ) |
◆ setRotation()
| 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
◆ setSize() [1/2]
| void sf::View::setSize | ( | const Vector2f & | size | ) |
◆ setSize() [2/2]
| void sf::View::setSize | ( | float | width, |
| float | height ) |
◆ setViewport()
| 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
◆ zoom()
| 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
