man SDL::Cursor () - a SDL perl extension

NAME

SDL::Cursor - a SDL perl extension

SYNOPSIS

  $cursor = SDL::Cursor->new(
        -data => new SDL::Surface "cursor.png",
        -mask => new SDL::Surface "mask.png",
        -x    => 0, -y => 0 );
  $cusor->use;

DESCRIPTION

the SDL::Cursor module handles mouse cursors, and provide the developer to use custom made cursors. Note that the cursors can only be in black and white.

METHODS

Creates a new cursor. The <C>-data</C> and <C>-mask</C> parameters should be both black and white pictures. The height and width of these surfaces should be a multiple of 8. The <C>-x</C> and <C>-y</C> are the coordinates of the cursor 'hot spot'. Set the position of the cursor at the <C>$x</C>, <C>$y</C> coordinates in the application window.

use()

Set the cursor as the active cursor.

get()

When used statically <C>SDL::Cursor::get()</C>, it will return the instance of the current cursor in use. Called as a method, it will return itself.

This method can be useful if you are dealing with several cursors.

show($toggle)

Set the visibility of the cursor. A false value will make the cursor invisible in the Application window. A true value will show it back.
