Next: Cursor Positioning, Previous: Cursors, Up: Cursors
Returns the cursor object representing the cursor defined by data. If data is a symbol, it's replaced by its
cursor-shapeproperty.Possible data values are an integer representing a glyph in the standard X11 cursor font, or a four-element vector.
The format for a vector is
[image mask fg bg]where image and mask are the filenames of standard X11 bitmaps, and fg and bg are colors (or names of colors). All bitmap files are searched for using theimage-load-pathvariable.
Change the colors of the cursor object cursor to fg and bg (either color objects or the names of colors).
Set the cursor object displayed in the root window, and in parts of window frames that have no other cursor specified, to cursor.
If called with no argument, simply return the current such cursor object.
So that the integer indices of glyphs in the X11 cursor font do not
have to be remembered, the cursor-shape properties of the
following symbols are automatically set:
X_cursor, arrow, based_arrow_down,
based_arrow_up, boat, bogosity,
bottom_left_corner, bottom_right_corner,
bottom_side, bottom_tee, box_spiral,

iron_cross, left_ptr, left_side, left_tee,
leftbutton, ll_angle, lr_angle, man,

right_side, right_tee, rightbutton,
rtl_logo, sailboat, sb_down_arrow,
sb_h_double_arrow, sb_left_arrow, sb_right_arrow,
sb_up_arrow, sb_v_double_arrow, shuttle,
