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.
