This can be done in two different ways: /// \li draw everything to a sf::RenderTexture, then draw it to /// the main target using the shader /// \li draw everything directly to the main target, then use /// sf::Texture::update(Window&) to copy its contents to a texture /// and draw it to the main target using the shader /// /// The first technique is more optimized because it doesn't involve /// retrieving the target's pixels to system memory, but the /// second one doesn't impact the rendering process and can be /// easily inserted anywhere without impacting all the code. /// /// Like sf::Texture that can be used as a raw OpenGL texture, /// sf::Shader can also be used directly as a raw shader for /// custom OpenGL geometry. /// \code /// sf::Shader::bind(&shader); /// ... render OpenGL geometry ... /// sf::Shader::bind(NULL); /// \endcode /// /// \see sf::Glsl /// ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
