    @class wxCursor

    A cursor is a small bitmap usually used for denoting where the mouse
    pointer is, with a picture that might indicate the interpretation of a
    mouse click. As with icons, cursors in X and MS Windows are created in a
    different manner. Therefore, separate cursors will be created for the
    different environments. Platform-specific methods for creating a wxCursor
    object are catered for, and this is an occasion where conditional
    compilation will probably be required (see wxIcon for an example).

    A single cursor object may be used in many windows (any subwindow type).
    The wxWidgets convention is to set the cursor for a window, as in X, rather
    than to set it globally as in MS Windows, although a global wxSetCursor()
    function is also available for MS Windows use.

    @section cursor_custom Creating a Custom Cursor

    The following is an example of creating a cursor from 32x32 bitmap data
    (down_bits) and a mask (down_mask) where 1 is black and 0 is white for the
    bits, and 1 is opaque and 0 is transparent for the mask.
    It works on Windows and GTK+.

    static char down_bits[] = { 255, 255, 255, 255, 31,
