Pygame - surface.blit() function

Last Updated : 23 May, 2021

surface.blit() function draws a source Surface onto this Surface. The draw can be positioned with the dest argument. The dest argument can either be a pair of coordinates representing the position of the upper left corner of the blit or a Rect, where the upper left corner of the rectangle will be used as the position for the blit. The size of the destination rectangle does not affect the blit.

Source - Draws a source Surface onto this Surface
dest - The draw can be positioned with the dest argument.
