  11
  12     A cursor is a small bitmap usually used for denoting where the mouse
  13     pointer is, with a picture that might indicate the interpretation of a
  14     mouse click. As with icons, cursors in X and MS Windows are created in a
  15     different manner. Therefore, separate cursors will be created for the
  16     different environments. Platform-specific methods for creating a wxCursor
  17     object are catered for, and this is an occasion where conditional
  18     compilation will probably be required (see wxIcon for an example).
  19
  20     A single cursor object may be used in many windows (any subwindow type).
  21     The wxWidgets convention is to set the cursor for a window, as in X, rather
  22     than to set it globally as in MS Windows, although a global wxSetCursor()
  23     function is also available for MS Windows use.

  25     @section cursor_custom Creating a Custom Cursor
  26
  27     The following is an example of creating a cursor from 32x32 bitmap data
  28     (down_bits) and a mask (down_mask) where 1 is black and 0 is white for the
  29     bits, and 1 is opaque and 0 is transparent for the mask.
  30     It works on Windows and GTK+.

 135             platforms:
 136             - under Windows, it defaults to @c wxBITMAP_TYPE_CUR_RESOURCE.
 137               Other permitted types under Windows are @c wxBITMAP_TYPE_CUR
 138               (to load a cursor from a .cur cursor file) and @c wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO
 139               (to load a cursor from a .ico icon file).
 140             - under MacOS, it defaults to @c wxBITMAP_TYPE_MACCURSOR_RESOURCE;
 141               when specifying a string resource name, first the color cursors 'crsr'
 142               and then the black/white cursors 'CURS' in the resource chain are scanned
 143               through. Note that resource forks are deprecated on OS X so this
 144               is only available for legacy reasons and should not be used in
 145               new code.

 148             - under X11, it defaults to @c wxBITMAP_TYPE_XPM.
 149             - under Motif, it defaults to @c wxBITMAP_TYPE_XBM.

 174         If the cursor is larger than 32x32 it is resized.

 176         In wxGTK, colour cursors and alpha channel are supported (starting from

 183         Notice that the @a image can define the cursor hot spot. To set it you
 184         need to use wxImage::SetOption() with @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_X
