Remarks

A sprite is a 2D image, such as a bitmap or a text. Sprites are positioned in world space, but rendered in screen space. That means, a 16x16 pixel sprite is usually exactly 16x16 pixel on screen. (Internally the images and texts are rendered using the XNA SpriteBatch, hence the name.)

DigitalRune Graphics supports two types of sprites:

  • ImageSprite ... static or animated bitmap
  • TextSprite ... text using a bitmap font

A sprite is positioned in world space by creating a new SpriteNode and adding it to a 3D scene.

Cloning:
Sprites are cloneable. Clone creates a copy of the current sprite. The Texture of a ImageSprite or the Text of a TextSprite is copied by reference (no deep copy).
