Shape Window not showing on desktop about py-sdl2 HOT 6 CLOSED

Original comment by Noel Luneburg (Bitbucket: noodleguitar, GitHub: noodleguitar):

I see the circle does not have smooth edges. I have the same problem when running testshape.c, regardless of whether I use an alpha mask or color key the background.

Is there a solution to this? Can the separation between picture (shaped window) and background be smoother?

SDL2's testshape.c is a console application, you need to pass the bitmap on the console:

testshape.exe yourbitmap.bmp

You must give the window a position on the screen. By default, a shape window is set with a position off-screen (-1000, -1000) by SDL2.
It also must be made resizable via the flags.

#!python
window = ShapeWindow("Hello World!", (800, 500), (200, 200), sdl2.SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE)

Once done, after setting the window shape, you should set the size of the window to the size of the surface to render:

#!python
sdl2.SDL_SetWindowShape(window.window, circle_sf, shape_mode)
sdl2.SDL_SetWindowSize(window.window, circle.size[0], circle.size[1])
