<p>Pygame offers control over the system hardware cursor. Pygame supports
black and white cursors (bitmap cursors), as well as system variant cursors and color cursors.
You control the cursor with functions inside <a class="tooltip reference internal" href="mouse.html#module-pygame.mouse" title=""><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.mouse</span></code><span class="tooltip-content">pygame module to work with the mouse</span></a>.</p>
<p>This cursors module contains functions for loading and decoding various
cursor formats. These allow you to easily store your cursors in external files
or directly as encoded python strings.</p>
<p>The module includes several standard cursors. The <a class="tooltip reference internal" href="mouse.html#pygame.mouse.set_cursor" title=""><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.mouse.set_cursor()</span></code><span class="tooltip-content">set the mouse cursor to a new cursor</span></a>
function takes several arguments. All those arguments have been stored in a
single tuple you can call like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="n">pygame</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">mouse</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">set_cursor</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="o">*</span><span class="n">pygame</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">cursors</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">arrow</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The following variables can be passed to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.mouse.set_cursor</span></code> function:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.cursors.arrow</span></code></p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.cursors.diamond</span></code></p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.cursors.broken_x</span></code></p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.cursors.tri_left</span></code></p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.cursors.tri_right</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
</div></blockquote>
<p>This module also contains a few cursors as formatted strings. You'll need to
pass these to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.cursors.compile()</span></code> function before you can use them.
The example call would look like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="n">cursor</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">pygame</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">cursors</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">compile</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">pygame</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">cursors</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">textmarker_strings</span><span class="p">)</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The following strings can be converted into cursor bitmaps with
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.cursors.compile()</span></code> :</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.cursors.thickarrow_strings</span></code></p></li>

</div>
<p>A sequence of strings can be used to create binary cursor data for the
system cursor. This returns the binary data in the form of two tuples.
Those can be passed as the third and fourth arguments respectively of the
<a class="tooltip reference internal" href="mouse.html#pygame.mouse.set_cursor" title=""><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.mouse.set_cursor()</span></code><span class="tooltip-content">set the mouse cursor to a new cursor</span></a> function.</p>
<p>If you are creating your own cursor strings, you can use any value represent
the black and white pixels. Some system allow you to set a special toggle
color for the system color, this is also called the xor color. If the system
does not support xor cursors, that color will simply be black.</p>
<p>The height must be divisible by 8. The width of the strings must all be equal
and be divisible by 8. If these two conditions are not met, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ValueError</span></code> is
raised.
An example set of cursor strings looks like this</p>

<p>In pygame 2, there are 3 types of cursors you can create to give your
game that little bit of extra polish. There's <strong>bitmap</strong> type cursors,
which existed in pygame 1.x, and are compiled from a string or load from an xbm file.
Then there are <strong>system</strong> type cursors, where you choose a preset that will
convey the same meaning but look native across different operating systems.
Finally you can create a <strong>color</strong> cursor, which displays a pygame surface as the cursor.</p>
<p><strong>Creating a system cursor</strong></p>
<p>Choose a constant from this list, pass it into <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.cursors.Cursor(constant)</span></code>,
and you're good to go. Be advised that not all systems support every system
cursor, and you may get a substitution instead. For example, on MacOS,
WAIT/WAITARROW should show up as an arrow, and SIZENWSE/SIZENESW/SIZEALL
should show up as a closed hand. And on Wayland, every SIZE cursor should
show up as a hand.</p>

<p><strong>Creating a cursor without passing arguments</strong></p>
<p>In addition to the cursor constants available and described above,
you can also call <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.cursors.Cursor()</span></code>, and your cursor is ready (doing that is the same as
calling <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.cursors.Cursor(pygame.SYSTEM_CURSOR_ARROW)</span></code>.
Doing one of those calls actually creates a system cursor using the default native image.</p>
<p><strong>Creating a color cursor</strong></p>
<p>To create a color cursor, create a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Cursor</span></code> from a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">hotspot</span></code> and a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">surface</span></code>.
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">hotspot</span></code> is an (x,y) coordinate that determines where in the cursor the exact point is.
The hotspot position must be within the bounds of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">surface</span></code>.</p>
<p><strong>Creating a bitmap cursor</strong></p>
<p>When the mouse cursor is visible, it will be displayed as a black and white
bitmap using the given bitmask arrays. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">size</span></code> is a sequence containing
the cursor width and height. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">hotspot</span></code> is a sequence containing the cursor
hotspot position.</p>
<p>A cursor has a width and height, but a mouse position is represented by a
set of point coordinates. So the value passed into the cursor <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">hotspot</span></code>
variable helps pygame to actually determine at what exact point the cursor
is at.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">xormasks</span></code> is a sequence of bytes containing the cursor xor data masks.
Lastly <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">andmasks</span></code>, a sequence of bytes containing the cursor bitmask data.
To create these variables, we can make use of the
<a class="tooltip reference internal" href="#pygame.cursors.compile" title=""><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pygame.cursors.compile()</span></code><span class="tooltip-content">create binary cursor data from simple strings</span></a> function.</p>
<p>Width and height must be a multiple of 8, and the mask arrays must be the
correct size for the given width and height. Otherwise an exception is raised.</p>
