cursor

Usage: (cursor type & args)

Create a built-in or custom cursor. Take one of two forms:

  (cursor :name-of-built-in-cursor)

Creates a built-in cursor of the given type. Valid types are:

  :crosshair :custom :default :hand :move :text :wait
  :e-resize :n-resize :ne-resize :nw-resize 
  :s-resize :se-resize :sw-resize :w-resize

To create custom cursor:

  (cursor image-or-icon optional-hotspot)

where image-or-icon is a java.awt.Image (see seesaw.graphics/buffered-image)
or javax.swing.ImageIcon (see seesaw.icon/icon). The hotspot is an optional
[x y] point indicating the click point for the cursor. Defaults to [0 0].

Examples:

  ; The hand cursor
  (cursor :hand)

  ; Create a custom cursor from a URL:
  (cursor (icon "http://path/to/my/cursor.png") [5 5])

Notes:
  This function is used implicitly by the :cursor option on most widget
  constructor functions. So 

      (label :cursor (cursor :hand))

  is equivalent to:

      (label :cursor :hand)

  Same for setting the cursor with (seesaw.core/config!).

  Also, the size of a cursor is platform dependent, so some experimentation
  will be required with creating custom cursors from images.
