Detailed Description

A sprite batch.

A sprite batch is responsible for minimizing the number of draw calls by concatenating the different calls for sprites.

Before using a sprite batch, you have to call begin(), then call draw() for each sprite you want to draw, and finally call end().

gf::SpriteBatch batch(renderer);

batch.begin();
batch.draw(sprite1);
batch.draw(sprite2);
batch.draw(sprite3);
batch.end();
