NAMEglutSetCursor — Set the cursor image to be used for the current window
LIBRARY
OpenGLUT - window
SYNOPSIS
#include <openglut.h>
void
glutSetCursor(int cursorID);
PARAMETERS
cursorID Name of desired cursor.
DESCRIPTION
For the current window , sets the mouse-cursor to one of a set of pre‐
defined images. The GLUT symbolic constant IDs are:
- GLUT_CURSOR_RIGHT_ARROW
- GLUT_CURSOR_LEFT_ARROW
- GLUT_CURSOR_INFO
- GLUT_CURSOR_DESTROY
- GLUT_CURSOR_HELP
- GLUT_CURSOR_CYCLE
- GLUT_CURSOR_SPRAY
- GLUT_CURSOR_WAIT
- GLUT_CURSOR_TEXT
- GLUT_CURSOR_CROSSHAIR
- GLUT_CURSOR_UP_DOWN
- GLUT_CURSOR_LEFT_RIGHT
- GLUT_CURSOR_TOP_SIDE
- GLUT_CURSOR_BOTTOM_SIDE
- GLUT_CURSOR_LEFT_SIDE
- GLUT_CURSOR_RIGHT_SIDE
- GLUT_CURSOR_TOP_LEFT_CORNER
- GLUT_CURSOR_TOP_RIGHT_CORNER
- GLUT_CURSOR_BOTTOM_RIGHT_CORNER
- GLUT_CURSOR_BOTTOM_LEFT_CORNER
Additionally, there are the following special cases:
GLUT_CURSOR_FULL_CROSSHAIR This cursor, where supported, draws a
crosshair the full width and height of the display. It may be mapped by
OpenGLUT to the GLUT_CURSOR_CROSSHAIR, however.
GLUT_CURSOR_NONE Turn the mouse cursor invisibile.
GLUT_CURSOR_INHERIT Take the cursor that the parent window provides.
CAVEATS
The X branch of OpenGLUT does not do thorough error checking.
The X branch of OpenGLUT always converts FULL_CROSSHAIR to CROSSHAIR.
This is acceptable, but if a host system supports a fullscreen
crosshair, it would be nice to support that.
Out of range cursorID values generate warnings.
Has no visible effect if the current window is of type GLUT_OFFSCREEN
.
BUGS
Some cursorID values are not yet supported on WIN32.
