Parameters
|
cur= |
In Windows the cursors are defined 1-12 |
Examples
shape cur=12
Notes
Cursors can be either monochrome or color, and either static or animated. The type of cursor used on a particular computer system depends on the system’s display. Old displays such as VGA do not support color or animated cursors, but new displays (whose display drivers use the DIB engine) do support them.
Windows provides a set of standard cursors that are available for any application to use at any time. The Windows header files contain identifiers for the standard cursors.

If the standard cursors are replaced by another schema (static or animated) then the cursors selected using the shape command will take on these characteristics.
This command refers to windowing system cursor and should not be confused with the Eagle internal cursor. They are entirely independent and can possibly be both visible during an interactive session.
Eagle Window Cursors are displayed use during dynamic zoom and pan. They are coded (e.g. SHAPE CUR=) as follows :
zoom in (to be used by the application)
dynamic zoom
dynamic pan
spin
The corresponding resources file entries are :
| 2009 |  |
| 2010 |  |
| 2011 |  |
| 2012 |  |
The new cursors introduced for the POLLING L are also accessible from the SHAPE command. The correspondence between the value passed to the SHAPE command with the CUR primer and the image of the cursor is described in the following figure.
