DESCRIPTION
glutSetCursor changes the cursor image of the current win
dow. Each call requests the window system change the cur
sor appropriately. The cursor image when a window is cre
ated is GLUT_CURSOR_INHERIT. The exact cursor images used
are implementation dependent. The intent is for the image
to convey the meaning of the cursor name. For a top-level
window, GLUT_CURSOR_INHERIT uses the default window system
cursor.
X IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
GLUT for X uses SGI's _SGI_CROSSHAIR_CURSOR convention to
access a full-screen cross-hair cursor if possible.
