.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBSDL_Cursor *\fBSDL_CreateCursor\fP\fR(\fBUint8 *data, Uint8 *mask, int w, int h, int hot_x, int hot_y\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Create a cursor using the specified \fBdata\fR and \fBmask\fR (in MSB format)\&. The cursor width must be a multiple of 8 bits\&.
.PP
The cursor is created in black and white according to the following: 
.TP 20
\fBData / Mask\fR
\fBResulting pixel on screen\fR
.TP 20
0 / 1
White
.TP 20
1 / 1
Black
.TP 20
0 / 0
Transparent
.TP 20
1 / 0
Inverted color if possible, black if not\&.
