+      and dy values that exceed the surface size.
+
+      The scroll flag can be:
+         * ``0`` (default): the pixels are shifted but previous pixels are
+           not modified.
+
+         * ``pygame.SCROLL_ERASE``: the space created by the shifting pixels
+           is filled with black or transparency.
+
+         * ``pygame.SCROLL_REPEAT``: the pixels that disappear out of the
+           surface or clip bounds are brought back on the opposite side
+           resulting in an infinitely scrolling and repeating surface.
