## Detailed Description

Define a 3x3 transform matrix.

A sf::Transform specifies how to translate, rotate, scale, shear, project, whatever things.

In mathematical terms, it defines how to transform a coordinate system into another.

For example, if you apply a rotation transform to a sprite, the result will be a rotated sprite. And anything that is transformed by this rotation transform will be rotated the same way, according to its initial position.

Transforms are typically used for drawing. But they can also be used for any computation that requires to transform points between the local and global coordinate systems of an entity (like collision detection).

Example:

// define a translation transform
sf::Transform translation;
translation.translate(20, 50);
// define a rotation transform
sf::Transform rotation;
rotation.rotate(45);
// combine them
sf::Transform transform = translation * rotation;
// use the result to transform stuff...
sf::Vector2f point = transform.transformPoint(10, 20);
sf::FloatRect rect = transform.transformRect(sf::FloatRect(0, 0, 10, 100));

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

|  | float | a21,
|  | float | a22
| ) |  |

Construct a transform from a 3x3 matrix.

  a00 | Element (0, 0) of the matrix
  a01 | Element (0, 1) of the matrix
  a02 | Element (0, 2) of the matrix
  a10 | Element (1, 0) of the matrix

## Member Function Documentation

Transform& sf::Transform::combine | ( | const Transform & | transform | ) |

Combine the current transform with another one.

The result is a transform that is equivalent to applying *this followed by transform. Mathematically, it is equivalent to a matrix multiplication.

Parameters

  transform | Transform to combine with this transform

Returns
  Reference to *this

Transform sf::Transform::getInverse | ( |  | ) | const

Return the inverse of the transform.

If the inverse cannot be computed, an identity transform is returned.

Returns
  A new transform which is the inverse of self

const float* sf::Transform::getMatrix | ( |  | ) | const

Return the transform as a 4x4 matrix.

This function returns a pointer to an array of 16 floats containing the transform elements as a 4x4 matrix, which is directly compatible with OpenGL functions.

sf::Transform transform = ...;
glLoadMatrixf(transform.getMatrix());

Returns
  Pointer to a 4x4 matrix

Transform& sf::Transform::rotate | ( | float | angle | ) |

Combine the current transform with a rotation.

This function returns a reference to *this, so that calls can be chained.

sf::Transform transform;
transform.rotate(90).translate(50, 20);

Parameters

  angle | Rotation angle, in degrees

Returns
  Reference to *this

See also
  translate, scale

Transform& sf::Transform::rotate | ( | float | angle,
|  | float | centerX,
|  | float | centerY
| ) |  |

Combine the current transform with a rotation.

The center of rotation is provided for convenience as a second argument, so that you can build rotations around arbitrary points more easily (and efficiently) than the usual translate(-center).rotate(angle).translate(center).

This function returns a reference to *this, so that calls can be chained.

sf::Transform transform;
transform.rotate(90, 8, 3).translate(50, 20);

Parameters

  angle | Rotation angle, in degrees
  centerX | X coordinate of the center of rotation
  centerY | Y coordinate of the center of rotation

Returns
  Reference to *this

See also
  translate, scale

Transform& sf::Transform::rotate | ( | float | angle,
|  | const Vector2f & | center
| ) |  |

Combine the current transform with a rotation.

The center of rotation is provided for convenience as a second argument, so that you can build rotations around arbitrary points more easily (and efficiently) than the usual translate(-center).rotate(angle).translate(center).

This function returns a reference to *this, so that calls can be chained.

sf::Transform transform;
transform.rotate(90, sf::Vector2f(8, 3)).translate(sf::Vector2f(50, 20));

Parameters

  angle | Rotation angle, in degrees
  center | Center of rotation

Returns
  Reference to *this

See also
  translate, scale

Transform& sf::Transform::scale | ( | float | scaleX,
|  | float | scaleY
| ) |  |

Combine the current transform with a scaling.

This function returns a reference to *this, so that calls can be chained.

sf::Transform transform;
transform.scale(2, 1).rotate(45);

Parameters

  scaleX | Scaling factor on the X axis
  scaleY | Scaling factor on the Y axis

Returns
  Reference to *this

Transform& sf::Transform::scale | ( | float | scaleX,
|  | float | scaleY,
|  | float | centerX,
|  | float | centerY
| ) |  |

Combine the current transform with a scaling.

The center of scaling is provided for convenience as a second argument, so that you can build scaling around arbitrary points more easily (and efficiently) than the usual translate(-center).scale(factors).translate(center).

This function returns a reference to *this, so that calls can be chained.

sf::Transform transform;
transform.scale(2, 1, 8, 3).rotate(45);

Parameters

  scaleX | Scaling factor on X axis
  scaleY | Scaling factor on Y axis
  centerX | X coordinate of the center of scaling

Transform& sf::Transform::scale | ( | const Vector2f & | factors,
|  | const Vector2f & | center
| ) |  |

This function returns a reference to *this, so that calls can be chained.

sf::Transform transform;
transform.scale(sf::Vector2f(2, 1), sf::Vector2f(8, 3)).rotate(45);

Vector2f sf::Transform::transformPoint | ( | float | x,

Transform a 2D point.

  x | X coordinate of the point to transform

FloatRect sf::Transform::transformRect | ( | const FloatRect & | rectangle | ) | const
