[docs]class Window(object):
"""Creates a visible window with an optional border and title text.
In SDL2, a window is the object through which visuals are displayed and
all input events are captured. This class is a Pythonic alternative to
working directly with SDL2's :obj:`~sdl2.SDL_Window` type, wrapping a
number of useful functions for working with windows.
The created Window is hidden by default, but can be shown using the
:meth:`~Window.show` method. Additionally, the type and properties of the
created window can be configured using various flags:
================================== =========================================
Flag Description
================================== =========================================
``SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN`` Will be shown when created
``SDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN`` Will be hidden when created
``SDL_WINDOW_BORDERLESS`` Will not be decorated by the OS
``SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE`` Will be resizable
``SDL_WINDOW_MINIMIZED`` Will be created in a minimized state
``SDL_WINDOW_MAXIMIZED`` Will be created in a maximized state
``SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN`` Will be fullscreen
``SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP`` Will be fullscreen at the current desktop
resolution
``SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL`` Will be usable with an OpenGL context
``SDL_WINDOW_VULKAN`` Will be usable with a Vulkan instance
``SDL_WINDOW_METAL`` Will be usable with a Metal context
``SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI`` Will be created in high-DPI mode
(if supported)
``SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_FOCUS`` Will have input focus when created
``SDL_WINDOW_MOUSE_FOCUS`` Will have mouse focus when created
``SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_GRABBED`` Will prevent the mouse from leaving the
bounds of the window
``SDL_WINDOW_MOUSE_CAPTURE`` Will capture mouse to track input outside
of the window when created
================================== =========================================
There are also a few additional window creation flags that only affect the
X11 window manager (i.e. most distributions of Linux and BSD):
================================== =====================================
Flag Description
================================== =====================================
``SDL_WINDOW_ALWAYS_ON_TOP`` Should stay on top of other windows
``SDL_WINDOW_SKIP_TASKBAR`` Should not be added to the taskbar
``SDL_WINDOW_UTILITY`` Should be treated as a utility window
``SDL_WINDOW_TOOLTIP`` Should be treated as a tooltip
``SDL_WINDOW_POPUP_MENU`` Should be treated as a popup menu
================================== =====================================
To combine multiple flags, you can use a bitwise OR to combine two or more
together before passing them to the `flags` argument. For example, to create
a fullscreen window that supports an OpenGL context and is shown on
creation, you would use::
win_flags = (
sdl2.SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN | sdl2.SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL |
sdl2.SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN
)
sdl2.ext.Window("PySDL2", (800, 600), flags=win_flags)
Args:
title (str): The title to use for the window.
size (tuple): The initial size (in pixels) of the window, in the format
`(width, height)`.
position (tuple, optional): The initial `(x, y)` coordinates of the
top-left corner of the window. If not specified, defaults to letting
the system's window manager choose a location for the window.
flags (int, optional): The window attribute flags with which the window
will be created. Defaults to ``SDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN``.
Attributes:
window (:obj:`~sdl2.SDL_Window`, None): The underlying SDL2 Window
object. If the window has been closed, this value will be `None`.
