Maximum SFML texture dimentions

Question

I'm using a texture for my project that has the dimentions of 7500x800. When i load it into my project and draw it on the sf::Renderwindow window, it only shows give or take half of it (i have events that make the Sprite with the texture change position and thats how i can tell). Is there a maximum pixel count or somthing like that in sfml, or is it somthing else?

SFML doesn't force any maximum texture size. This is hardware dependent and SFML just uses (and reports), what the driver tells it.

To retrieve the maximum texture size:

const unsigned int maxSize = sf::Texture::getMaximumSize();

On your hardware this will most likely return 4096. What happens if you request a bigger texture is up to the drivers and their OpenGL implementation. It's outside SFML's control.
