gtk.gdk.Cursor — standard and pixmap cursors

Synopsis

class gtk.gdk.Cursor(gobject.GBoxed):
    gtk.gdk.Cursor(cursor_type)
    gtk.gdk.Cursor(display, cursor_type)
    gtk.gdk.Cursor(display, pixbuf, x, y)
    gtk.gdk.Cursor(source, mask, fg, bg, x, y)
    def get_display()

Description

A gtk.gdk.Cursor represents a bitmap image used for the mouse pointer. Each gtk.gdk.Window can have its own cursor. By default a gtk.gdk.Window uses its parent's cursor. A standard set of cursors is provided in PyGTK:

Constructor

    gtk.gdk.Cursor(cursor_type)

`cursor_type` :	the standard cursor to create
Returns :	a new `gtk.gdk.Cursor`

Creates the new gtk.gdk.Cursor from a builtin cursor specified by cursor_type. To make the cursor invisible, see the description of the gtk.gdk.Cursor() constructor that creates a cursor from a pixmap below.

    gtk.gdk.Cursor(display, cursor_type)

`display` :	the `gtk.gdk.Display` to create the cursor for
`cursor_type` :	the standard cursor to create
Returns :	a new `gtk.gdk.Cursor`

Note

This constructor is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above.

Creates the new gtk.gdk.Cursor for the gtk.gdk.Display specified by display from a builtin cursor specified by cursor_type. To make the cursor invisible, see the description of the gtk.gdk.Cursor() constructor that creates a cursor from a pixmap below.

    gtk.gdk.Cursor(display, pixbuf, x, y)

`display` :	the `gtk.gdk.Display` to create the cursor for
`pixbuf` :	the `gtk.gdk.Pixbuf` holding the cursor image
`x` :	the "hot spot" x offset
`y` :	the "hot spot" y offset
Returns :	a new `gtk.gdk.Cursor`

Note

This constructor is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above.

Creates a new gtk.gdk.Cursor for the gtk.gdk.Display specified by display using the gtk.gdk.Pixbuf specified by source as the icon image. The "hotspot" of the cursor will be located as the position specified by x and y. To make the cursor invisible, see the description of the gtk.gdk.Cursor() constructor that creates a cursor from a pixmap below

    gtk.gdk.Cursor(source, mask, fg, bg, x, y)

`source` :	the `gtk.gdk.Pixmap` holding the cursor image
`mask` :	the `gtk.gdk.Pixmap` to use as a mask
`fg` :	the unallocated foreground `gtk.gdk.Color`
`bg` :	the unallocated background `gtk.gdk.Color`
`x` :	the "hot spot" x offset
`y` :	the "hot spot" y offset
Returns :	a new `gtk.gdk.Cursor`

Creates a new gtk.gdk.Cursor using:

the gtk.gdk.Pixmap specified by source as the icon image
the gtk.gdk.Pixmap specified by mask to mask source (must be the same size as source)
the gtk.gdk.Color specified by fg as the foreground color of the cursor
the gtk.gdk.Color specified by bg as the background color of the cursor
the horizontal offset of the cursor "hot spot" specified by x
the vertical offset of the cursor "hot spot" specified by y

To make the cursor invisible, create a cursor from an empty gtk.gdk.Pixmap as follows:

  pixmap = gtk.gdk.Pixmap(None, 1, 1, 1)
  color = gtk.gdk.Color()
  cursor = gtk.gdk.Cursor(pixmap, pixmap, color, color, 0, 0)

Methods

gtk.gdk.Cursor.get_display

    def get_display()

Returns : the associated gtk.gdk.Display

Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.2 and above.

The get_display() method returns the gtk.gdk.Display on which the cursor is defined.
