CURS Source code in curs.pro

CURS

Name
       CURS
Purpose
       Selects an X windows cursor shape
Calling Sequence
       curs            ;Interactively select a cursor shape.
       curs, sel       ;Make the given CURSOR_STANDARD value the cursor
                        shape.
Optional Input Parameters
       sel  -  Either an integer giving the CURSOR_STANDARD value (usually an
               even value between 0 and 152) indicating the cursor shape, or
               a string from the following menu
       a -- Up arrow
       b -- Left-angled arrow
       c -- Right-angled arrow
       d -- Crosshair
       e -- Finger pointing left
       f -- Finger pointing right
       g -- Narrow crosshair
       h -- Cycle through all possible standard cursor shapes
Output Parameters
       None.
Restrictions
       Uses the CURSOR_STANDARD keyword of the DEVICE procedure.  Although
       this keyword is available under Macintosh and Windows IDL, the values
       used by this procedure are specific to the X windows device.
Procedure
       If the user supplies a valid cursor shape value, it is set.  Otherwise,
       an interactive command loop is entered; it will continue until a valid
       value is given.
