Ultimate Shapes

A lightweight small shape library made for SFML build on C++23. It extends sf::Shape with custom shapes that behave just like normal shapes. Altough early in development, there are a few releases out. Missing a feature? Send me a message!

Current features

us::RoundedRectangleShape

class SelectiveRoundedRectangleShape : public sf::Shape {
public:
	SelectiveRoundedRectangleShape(const sf::Vector2f& size = sf::Vector2f(0.f, 0.f), float radius = 0, unsigned int cornerPointCount = 8);

	void setCorners(Corner c);
	void setSize(const sf::Vector2f& size);
	void setCornerRadius(const float& radius);
	void setCornerPointCount(const unsigned int& count);
	sf::Vector2f getSize() const;

A simple way to make a rectangle of size size with all 4 corners rounded with a radius of radius and an amount of corner points cornerPointCount.

us::SelectiveRoundedRectangleShape

class SelectiveRoundedRectangleShape : public sf::Shape {
public:
	SelectiveRoundedRectangleShape(const sf::Vector2f& size = sf::Vector2f(0.f, 0.f), float radius = 0, unsigned int cornerPointCount = 8);

	void setCorners(Corner c);
	void setSize(const sf::Vector2f& size);
	void setCornerRadius(const float& radius);
	void setCornerPointCount(const unsigned int& count);
	sf::Vector2f getSize() const;
};

Makes a rectangle in which you can choose what corners to be rounded. It has a size of size, radius of radius and an amount of corner points cornerPointCount.

enum class Corner{
	TopLeft,
	TopRight,
	BottomRight,
	BottomLeft,
	None
};

This is the enum class for setting corners. Usage as follows:

us::SelectiveRoundedRectangleShape shape(sf::Vector2f(100.f, 100.f), 10.f, 5);
shape.setCorners(us::Corner::TopLeft | us::Corner::BottomRight);

us::Triangle

class TriangleShape : public sf::Shape {
public:
	TriangleShape(const sf::Vector2f pointA, const sf::Vector2f pointB, const sf::Vector2f pointC);

	void setPoint(std::size_t index, const sf::Vector2f& position);
};

A super simple function to make a triangle that SFML just didn't implement! Make a triangle with points pointA, pointB, pointC

Additional features

All these shapes are build on us::Shape which is build on sf::Shape. This special shape allows for more additional features to be added to any shapes. Currently there is one feature using this:

void addGradient(sf::Vector3f color1, sf::Vector3d color2, bool horizontal)

This inputs 2 sf::Vector3f's for the color. Important is that these colors are values between 0-1 and not 0-255. The third parameter sets the direction of the gradient. For now only horizontal and vertical are supported, set it to false to get a vertical gradient, set it to true for a horizontal gradient (defaults to false).

Important

To use these additional features you have to draw the shape using shape.draw(sf::RenderTarget&).
