Detailed Description
Base class for all render targets (window, texture, ...)
sf::RenderTarget defines the common behavior of all the 2D render targets usable in the graphics module.
It makes it possible to draw 2D entities like sprites, shapes, text without using any OpenGL command directly.
A sf::RenderTarget is also able to use views (sf::View), which are a kind of 2D cameras. With views you can globally scroll, rotate or zoom everything that is drawn, without having to transform every single entity. See the documentation of sf::View for more details and sample pieces of code about this class.
On top of that, render targets are still able to render direct OpenGL stuff. It is even possible to mix together OpenGL calls and regular SFML drawing commands. When doing so, make sure that OpenGL states are not messed up by calling the pushGLStates/popGLStates functions.

Member Function Documentation
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
| void sf::RenderTarget::draw | ( | const Drawable & | drawable, |
| const RenderStates & | states = RenderStates::Default |
||
| ) |
Draw a drawable object to the render target.
- Parameters
-
drawable Object to draw states Render states to use for drawing
| void sf::RenderTarget::draw | ( | const Vertex * | vertices, |
| std::size_t | vertexCount, | ||
| PrimitiveType | type, | ||
| const RenderStates & | states = RenderStates::Default |
||
| ) |
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
| const View& sf::RenderTarget::getDefaultView | ( | ) | const |
|
pure virtual |
Return the size of the rendering region of the target.
- Returns
- Size in pixels
Implemented in sf::RenderTexture, and sf::RenderWindow.
| const View& sf::RenderTarget::getView | ( | ) | const |
Get the view currently in use in the render target.
- Returns
- The view object that is currently used
- See also
- setView, getDefaultView
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

Performs the common initialization step after creation.
The derived classes must call this function after the target is created and ready for drawing.
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:
- Parameters
-
point Point to convert
- Returns
- The converted point, in target coordinates (pixels)
- See also
- mapPixelToCoords
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
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:
- Parameters
-
point Pixel to convert
- Returns
- The converted point, in "world" coordinates
- See also
- mapCoordsToPixel
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
| void sf::RenderTarget::popGLStates | ( | ) |
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
| void sf::RenderTarget::pushGLStates | ( | ) |
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:
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
| void sf::RenderTarget::resetGLStates | ( | ) |
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:
| void sf::RenderTarget::setView | ( | const View & | view | ) |
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
