NAME

SDL::Mouse -- SDL Bindings for the Mouse device

CATEGORY

Core, Mouse

METHODS

warp_mouse

 void warp_mouse( int $x, int $y );

Set the position of the mouse cursor (generates a mouse motion event).

set_cursor

 void set_cursor( object );

Sets the currently active cursor to the specified one. If the cursor is currently visible, the change will be immediately represented on the display. set_cursor() can be used to force cursor redraw, if this is desired for any reason.

get_cursor

 object get_cursor();
 

Gets the currently active mouse cursor.

show_cursor

 int show_cursor( int toggle );

Toggle whether or not the cursor is shown on the screen. Passing SDL_ENABLE displays the cursor and passing SDL_DISABLE hides it. The current state of the mouse cursor can be queried by passing SDL_QUERY, either SDL_DISABLE or SDL_ENABLE will be returned.
