SDL::Cursor(3)

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

  new( -data => $surface_data, -mask => $surface_mask, x => $x, y => $y)
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'.

  warp($x, $y)
Set the position of the cursor at the <C>$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.
