## Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class sf::Rect< T >

Utility class for manipulating 2D axis aligned rectangles.

A rectangle is defined by its top-left corner and its size.

It is a very simple class defined for convenience, so its member variables (position and size) are public and can be accessed directly, just like the vector classes (`Vector2` and `Vector3`).

To keep things simple, `sf::Rect` doesn't define functions to emulate the properties that are not directly members (such as right, bottom, etc.), it rather only provides intersection functions.

`sf::Rect` uses the usual rules for its boundaries:

- The left and top edges are included in the rectangle's area
- The right and bottom edges are excluded from the rectangle's area

This means that `sf::IntRect({0, 0}, {1, 1})` and `sf::IntRect({1, 1}, {1, 1})` don't intersect.

`sf::Rect` is a template and may be used with any numeric type, but for simplicity type aliases for the instantiations used by SFML are given:

- `sf::Rect<int>` is `sf::IntRect`
- `sf::Rect<float>` is `sf::FloatRect`

So that you don't have to care about the template syntax.

Usage example:

// Define a rectangle, located at (0, 0) with a size of 20x5
sf::IntRect r1({0, 0}, {20, 5});
// Define another rectangle, located at (4, 2) with a size of 18x10
sf::Vector2i position(4, 2);
sf::Vector2i size(18, 10);
sf::IntRect r2(position, size);
// Test intersections with the point (3, 1)
bool b1 = r1.contains({3, 1}); // true
bool b2 = r2.contains({3, 1}); // false
// Test the intersection between r1 and r2
std::optional<sf::IntRect> result = r1.findIntersection(r2);
// result.has_value() == true
// result.value() == sf::IntRect({4, 2}, {16, 3})
sf::Rect< int >
sf::Rect::size
Vector2< T > size
Size of the rectangle.
Definition Rect.hpp:112
sf::Rect::position
Vector2< T > position
Position of the top-left corner of the rectangle.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ Rect() [1/2]

template<typename T >

sf::Rect< T >::Rect | ( |  | ) |

constexprdefault

Default constructor.

Creates an empty rectangle (it is equivalent to calling `Rect({0, 0}, {0, 0})`).

## ◆ Rect() [2/2]

template<typename T >

sf::Rect< T >::Rect | ( | Vector2< T > | position,
|  | Vector2< T > | size )

constexpr

Construct the rectangle from position and size.

Be careful, the last parameter is the size, not the bottom-right corner!

Parameters

  position | Position of the top-left corner of the rectangle
  size | Size of the rectangle

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ contains()

template<typename T >

bool sf::Rect< T >::contains | ( | Vector2< T > | point | ) | const

nodiscardconstexpr

Check if a point is inside the rectangle's area.

This check is non-inclusive. If the point lies on the edge of the rectangle, this function will return `false`.

Parameters

  point | Point to test

Returns
  `true` if the point is inside, `false` otherwise

See also
  `findIntersection`

## ◆ findIntersection()

template<typename T >

std::optional< Rect< T > > sf::Rect< T >::findIntersection | ( | const Rect< T > & | rectangle | ) | const

nodiscardconstexpr

Check the intersection between two rectangles.

Parameters

  rectangle | Rectangle to test

Returns
  Intersection rectangle if intersecting, `std::nullopt` otherwise

See also
  `contains`

## ◆ getCenter()

template<typename T >

Vector2< T > sf::Rect< T >::getCenter | ( |  | ) | const

nodiscardconstexpr

Get the position of the center of the rectangle.

Returns
  Center of rectangle

## ◆ operator Rect< U >()

template<typename T >
template<typename U >

sf::Rect< T >::operator Rect< U > | ( |  | ) | const

explicitconstexpr

Converts the rectangle to another type of rectangle.

## Friends And Related Symbol Documentation

## ◆ operator!=()

template<typename T >

bool operator!= | ( | const Rect< T > & | lhs,
|  | const Rect< T > & | rhs )

related

Overload of binary `operator!=`

This operator compares strict difference between two rectangles.

Parameters

  lhs | Left operand (a rectangle)
  rhs | Right operand (a rectangle)

Returns
  `true` if lhs is not equal to rhs

## ◆ operator==()

template<typename T >

bool operator== | ( | const Rect< T > & | lhs,
|  | const Rect< T > & | rhs )

related

Overload of binary `operator==`

This operator compares strict equality between two rectangles.

Parameters

  lhs | Left operand (a rectangle)
  rhs | Right operand (a rectangle)

Returns
  `true` if lhs is equal to rhs
