SDL2_gfx: texturedPolygon - how to rotate a textured triangle?

Hello,

I am currently trying to render some polygons with a texture. I’ve already succesfully rendered a circle with a football texture but struggle to render a triangle with a texture.
It seems that I am not calculating (or setting?) the parameter values texture_dx and texture_dy properly.

What I get is this (I am using Box2D for collision/physics):

As you can see, the texture is not exactly on the rendered object, it sometimes “overlaps” and takes the other parts to. The Image is a simple yellow triangle with a white background:

What i want is that it only draws the yellow stuff, and not the white (I know I could just make the whole image yellow but I want to use this method to render triangle-sprites later e.g. spikes).

code:

/*1. get vertices and transfer them to pixels*/

    b2Vec2 vertices_triangle[3];
    for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
    {
        vertices_triangle[i] = triangle_body->GetWorldPoint(triangleShape.GetVertex(i));
    }
    
    // Calculate "render"vertices of the triangle
    b2Vec2 A;
    b2Vec2 B;
    b2Vec2 C;
    
    A.x = ((SCALED_WIDTH / 2.0f) + vertices_triangle[0].x) * PMFACTOR - (a / 2.0f);
    A.y = ((SCALED_HEIGHT / 2.0f) + vertices_triangle[0].y) * PMFACTOR - (a / 2.0f);
    
    B.x = ((SCALED_WIDTH / 2.0f) + vertices_triangle[1].x) * PMFACTOR - (a / 2.0f);
    B.y = ((SCALED_HEIGHT / 2.0f) + vertices_triangle[1].y) * PMFACTOR - (a / 2.0f);
    
    C.x = ((SCALED_WIDTH / 2.0f) + vertices_triangle[2].x) * PMFACTOR - (a / 2.0f);
    C.y = ((SCALED_HEIGHT / 2.0f) + vertices_triangle[2].y) * PMFACTOR - (a / 2.0f);

/*2. draw*/

    Sint16 vx[3] = {static_cast<Sint16>(B.x), static_cast<Sint16>(C.x), static_cast<Sint16>(A.x)};
    Sint16 vy[3] = {static_cast<Sint16>(B.y), static_cast<Sint16>(C.y), static_cast<Sint16>(A.y)};
    
    //                                            dx? dy?
    texturedPolygon(renderer, vx, vy, 3, surface, 10, 20);

I don’t think that anything is wrong with the calculations of the vertices - it just seems that I am not using the texture_dx and texture_y parametera properly.

I appreciate any help! Thanks

After reading the documentation and a little trial and error I figured it out:

“if you move the polygon 10 pixels to the left and want the texture to apear the same you need to increase the texture_dx value”. I applied that with this simple one liner:

texturedPolygon(renderer, vx, vy, 3, surface, RC.x, -RA.y);

Now moving my textured triangle to the left /right or up/down works, but what about rotation? How can I calculate the offset for the rotation?
Is it correct that this is even impossible with pure SDL2? I mean I could use SDL2_rotozoom.h which I even tried, but it is just too slow for real time rendering.

Another solution could be that I create multiple sprites of the same but with each a different angle - the tool RotSprite seems to fit this purpose. But then I would have a lot of sprites of normally one texture…
Next step seems to go with OpenGL.

Isn’t there any other possibility?
