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.
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'.
+Create a cursor using the specified data and mask (in MSB format). The cursor width must be a multiple of 8 bits.
+The cursor is created in black and white according to the following:
+Data / Mask Resulting pixel on screen + 0 / 1 White + 1 / 1 Black + 0 / 0 Transparent + 1 / 0 Inverted color if possible, black if not. + ++
Cursors created with this function must be freed with SDL_FreeCursor.
+If you want to have color cursor, then this function is not for you; instead, you must hide normal system cursor with SDL::Cursor-new>
+and in your main loop, when you draw graphics, also draw a SDL::Surface at the location of the mouse cursor.
Example:
+use SDL; + use SDL::Cursor; + use SDL::Mouse; + use SDL::Video; + + SDL::init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO); + SDL::Video::set_video_mode( 640, 480, 16, SDL_SWSURFACE); + + my @data = ( + 0b00000000, + 0b00111100, + 0b01111110, + 0b01111110, + 0b01111110, + 0b01111110, + 0b00111100, + 0b00000000 + ); + + my @mask = ( + 0b00111100, + 0b01111110, + 0b11100111, + 0b11000011, + 0b11000011, + 0b11100111, + 0b01111110, + 0b00111100 + ); + + my $cursor = SDL::Cursor->new( \@data, \@mask, 8, 8, 0, 0 ); + + sleep(1); + SDL::Mouse::set_cursor($cursor); + + sleep(5); + +
