XRecolorCursor(3)                              XLIB FUNCTIONS                              XRecolorCursor(3)



NAME
       XRecolorCursor, XFreeCursor, XQueryBestCursor - manipulate cursors

SYNTAX
       int XRecolorCursor(Display *display, Cursor cursor, XColor *foreground_color, XColor *back-ground_color); *background_color);
              ground_color);

       int XFreeCursor(Display *display, Cursor cursor);

       Status XQueryBestCursor(Display *display, Drawable d, unsigned int width, unsigned int height,
              unsigned int *width_return, unsigned int *height_return);

ARGUMENTS
       background_color
                 Specifies the RGB values for the background of the source.

       cursor    Specifies the cursor.

       d         Specifies the drawable, which indicates the screen.

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       foreground_color
                 Specifies the RGB values for the foreground of the source.

       width
       height    Specify the width and heightof the cursor that you want the size information for.

       width_return
       height_return
                 Return the best width and height that is closest to the specified width and height.

DESCRIPTION
       The XRecolorCursor function changes the color of the specified cursor, and if the cursor is being
       displayed on a screen, the change is visible immediately.  The pixel members of the XColor structures
       are ignored; only the RGB values are used.

       XRecolorCursor can generate a BadCursor error.

       The XFreeCursor function deletes the association between the cursor resource ID and the specified
       cursor.  The cursor storage is freed when no other resource references it.  The specified cursor ID
       should not be referred to again.

       XFreeCursor can generate a BadCursor error.

       Some displays allow larger cursors than other displays.  The XQueryBestCursor function provides a way
       to find out what size cursors are actually possible on the display.  It returns the largest size that
       can be displayed.  Applications should be prepared to use smaller cursors on displays that cannot
       support large ones.

       XQueryBestCursor can generate a BadDrawable error.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadCursor A value for a Cursor argument does not name a defined Cursor.

       BadDrawable
                 A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
