[solved]glScissor and resizing window in sfml.

[adikid89]

When I resize the window, the clip rectangle for glScissor should change.. but I don't exactly know how to change it so that it fits the rect resized by view used by sfml about doing that... Any help please?

helpful pictures?

Can you not just call:

glScissor(0,0,SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT);

Why would I.. I guess I didn't explain properly. I use glScissor to not draw child widgets outside the rect of their parent. And the shape and position of the parent's rect changed when resized, and I need to compensate for that. I think I found a solution though: calculating the positions and size as a percentage of the window's size(for example the widget is at 1% width(x axis), 10%(y axis), its size is 15%(width) and 13%(height), and just convert that into the new window's size)
I think that should work..

Right I get what you're saying now. I thought you mean't the entire window. I guess your way could work if you take the widget/window ratio. I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work.

It didn't work...the positions were off..But I think I found the way this time . Because they resized based on the current view/window ratio... I'll uhm *calculate* the coords and size based on that. Still not quite sure how that'd go... but basically, in a window 800x600 with a view of 800x600, the ratio is 1, so the sizes and pos remain the same, in a window of 1000x600, the ratios are 1.25 and one.... so the position is offset by 1.25? and so is the width. At least I hope that's how it works

Edit: Using window/view ratio worked..
