Additionally, there are the following special cases:

Bf Sy
 GLUT_CURSOR_FULL_CROSSHAIR Ef
 This cursor, where supported, draws a crosshair the full width and height of the display. It may be mapped by OpenGLUT to the Bf Sy
 GLUT_CURSOR_CROSSHAIR, Ef
  however.

Bf Sy
 GLUT_CURSOR_NONE Ef
 Turn the mouse cursor invisibile.

Bf Sy
 GLUT_CURSOR_INHERIT Ef
 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 Bf Sy
 FULL_CROSSHAIR Ef
 to  Bf Sy
 CROSSHAIR. Ef
 This is acceptable, but if a host system supports a fullscreen crosshair, it would be nice to support that.

Out of range Bf Sy
 cursorID Ef
 values generate warnings.

Has no visible effect if the Bf Li
 current window Ef
  is of type  Bf Sy
 GLUT_OFFSCREEN Ef
 .

BUGS

Some Bf Sy
 cursorID Ef
 values are not yet supported on WIN32.
