1.42.1 Instance variables

cursor <- hot_spot: point*

If the cursor is user-defined, this describes the offset from the top-left of the image to the location of the pointer-device.

cursor <- image: image|animation*

If the cursor is user-defined, this image of image<-kind defines the cursor. If it is an animation, the cursor is animated.

cursor <- kind: {standard,x11,image,animation}

Where the cursor comes from: standard for a cursor of the system, x11 for a name kept for compatibility with the X11 cursor font (it maps to a standard cursor), image for a cursor defined from an image and animation for an animated cursor.

cursor <-> summary: char_array*

Description of the cursor. Set for the standard cursors. An old X11 name has the description of the standard cursor it maps to. It may be set for a cursor defined from an image.

cursor <- name: name*

Name of the cursor. All cursors (predefined or user-defined) are stored in the table @cursors. Note that the names of the predefined cursors are in @cursor_names.

When @nil, the name does not appear in @cursors. The cursor is not reusable and may be destroyed using object->free.
