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.
