NAME

       SoQtCursor - The SoQtCursor class is used to set cursors for GUI components.

       The class provides both a set of pre-defined cursor shapes, aswell as the option to use
       custom bitmap graphics.

SYNOPSIS

   Classes
       class CustomCursor
           The SoQtCursor::CustomCursor class is used to specify bitmap data for SoQtCursor
           custom cursors.

   Public Types
       enum Shape { CUSTOM_BITMAP = -1, DEFAULT = 0, BUSY, CROSSHAIR, UPARROW }

Detailed Description

       The SoQtCursor class is used to set cursors for GUI components.

       The class provides both a set of pre-defined cursor shapes, aswell as the option to use
       custom bitmap graphics.

       Instances of this class is usually made for passing in to the
       SoQtComponent::setComponentCursor() and SoQtComponent::setWidgetCursor() methods.

Member Enumeration Documentation

   enum SoQtCursor::Shape
       For enumerating built-in shape types, that can be used without having to specify cursor
       graphics. These are mapped to pre-defined cursor shapes from the underlying toolkit.

       Enumerator

       CUSTOM_BITMAP
              Cursor is specified with our own bitmap graphics. The bitmap data must be passed
              into the constructor.

       DEFAULT
              Using the native Window system's default cursor.

       BUSY   A busy cursor.

       CROSSHAIR
              Two thin lines in a cross.

       UPARROW
              Thick, upward-pointing arrow.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   SoQtCursor::SoQtCursor (void)
       Default constructor. Creates a default cursor.

       References DEFAULT.

   SoQtCursor::SoQtCursor (const Shape shape)
       Constructor with Shape argument, for setting up the cursor with a pre-defined shape from
       the underlying native toolkit.

       References CUSTOM_BITMAP.

   SoQtCursor::SoQtCursor (const CustomCursor * ccarg)
       Constructs a new custom bitmap cursor from cc.

       Note that only a shallow copy will be made of the CustomCursor bitmap and mask references,
       so don't deallocate the memory they use until the SoQtCursor has been destructed.

       As for the format of the cursor bitmap data, see documentation of
       SoQtCursor::CustomCursor.

       References CUSTOM_BITMAP.

   SoQtCursor::SoQtCursor (const SoQtCursor & cursor)
       Constructor.

   SoQtCursor::~SoQtCursor ()
       Destructor

Member Function Documentation

   SoQtCursor & SoQtCursor::operator= (const SoQtCursor & c)
       Equal operator.

   SoQtCursor::Shape SoQtCursor::getShape (void) const
       Returns the shape type.

       If the cursor has been set by the application programmer to a bitmap cursor,
       SoQtCursor::CUSTOM_BITMAP is returned.

       Referenced by SoQtComponent::setWidgetCursor().

   void SoQtCursor::setShape (const Shape shapearg)
       Sets the cursor to a predefined shape.

   const SoQtCursor::CustomCursor & SoQtCursor::getCustomCursor (void) const
       Returns a reference to the current custom bitmap cursor.

       Do not call this method unless SoQtCursor::getShape() returns SoQtCursor::CUSTOM_BITMAP.

       Referenced by SoQtComponent::setWidgetCursor().

   const SoQtCursor & SoQtCursor::getZoomCursor (void) [static]
       Returns a 'zoom' indicator cursor.

   const SoQtCursor & SoQtCursor::getPanCursor (void) [static]
       Returns a cursor with 'pan' graphics (ie for translation in the camera normal plane).

   const SoQtCursor & SoQtCursor::getRotateCursor (void) [static]
       Returns a 'rotate' indicator cursor.

   const SoQtCursor & SoQtCursor::getBlankCursor (void) [static]
       Because all toolkits don't easily support setting up a blank cursor from pre-defined
       shapes or API functions, we also provide a simple completely transparent cursor.
