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 @b 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).

- rather than to set it globally as in MS Windows, although a
- global ::wxSetCursor is also available for MS Windows use.

+ (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
