Parameters
cursorID Name of desired cursor.
Description
For the current window , sets the mouse-cursor to one of a set of predefined 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.
