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.
