These functions are used to create and destroy cursors.
There is a number of standard cursors, but it is also
possible to construct new cursors from pixmaps and
pixbufs. There may be limitations as to what kinds of
cursors can be constructed on a given display, see
gdk_display_supports_cursor_alpha()
,
gdk_display_supports_cursor_color()
,
gdk_display_get_default_cursor_size()
and
gdk_display_get_maximal_cursor_size()
.
Cursors by themselves are not very interesting, they must be be
bound to a window for users to see them. This is done with
gdk_window_set_cursor()
or by setting the cursor member of the
GdkWindowAttr struct passed to gdk_window_new()
.

GdkCursor* gdk_cursor_new (GdkCursorType cursor_type);
Creates a new cursor from the set of builtin cursors for the default display.
See gdk_cursor_new_for_display()
.
To make the cursor invisible, use gdk_cursor_new_from_pixmap()
to create
a cursor with no pixels in it.
cursor_type : |
cursor to create |
Returns : | a new GdkCursor |
GdkCursor* gdk_cursor_new_from_pixmap (GdkPixmap *source, GdkPixmap *mask, const GdkColor *fg, const GdkColor *bg, gint x, gint y);
Creates a new cursor from a given pixmap and mask. Both the pixmap and mask must have a depth of 1 (i.e. each pixel has only 2 values - on or off). The standard cursor size is 16 by 16 pixels. You can create a bitmap from inline data as in the below example.
Example 6. Creating a custom cursor
/* This data is in X bitmap format, and can be created with the 'bitmap' utility. */ #define cursor1_width 16 #define cursor1_height 16 static unsigned char cursor1_bits[] = { 0x80, 0x01, 0x40, 0x02, 0x20, 0x04, 0x10, 0x08, 0x08, 0x10, 0x04, 0x20, 0x82, 0x41, 0x41, 0x82, 0x41, 0x82, 0x82, 0x41, 0x04, 0x20, 0x08, 0x10, 0x10, 0x08, 0x20, 0x04, 0x40, 0x02, 0x80, 0x01}; static unsigned char cursor1mask_bits[] = { 0x80, 0x01, 0xc0, 0x03, 0x60, 0x06, 0x30, 0x0c, 0x18, 0x18, 0x8c, 0x31, 0xc6, 0x63, 0x63, 0xc6, 0x63, 0xc6, 0xc6, 0x63, 0x8c, 0x31, 0x18, 0x18, 0x30, 0x0c, 0x60, 0x06, 0xc0, 0x03, 0x80, 0x01}; GdkCursor *cursor; GdkPixmap *source, *mask; GdkColor fg = { 0, 65535, 0, 0 }; /* Red. */ GdkColor bg = { 0, 0, 0, 65535 }; /* Blue. */ source = gdk_bitmap_create_from_data (NULL, cursor1_bits, cursor1_width, cursor1_height); mask = gdk_bitmap_create_from_data (NULL, cursor1mask_bits, cursor1_width, cursor1_height); cursor = gdk_cursor_new_from_pixmap (source, mask, &fg, &bg, 8, 8); gdk_pixmap_unref (source); gdk_pixmap_unref (mask); gdk_window_set_cursor (widget->window, cursor);
source : |
the pixmap specifying the cursor. |
mask : |
the pixmap specifying the mask, which must be the same size as
source .
|
fg : |
the foreground color, used for the bits in the source which are 1. The color does not have to be allocated first. |
bg : |
the background color, used for the bits in the source which are 0. The color does not have to be allocated first. |
x : |
the horizontal offset of the 'hotspot' of the cursor. |
y : |
the vertical offset of the 'hotspot' of the cursor. |
Returns : | a new GdkCursor. |
GdkCursor* gdk_cursor_new_from_pixbuf (GdkDisplay *display, GdkPixbuf *pixbuf, gint x, gint y);
Creates a new cursor from a pixbuf.
Not all GDK backends support RGBA cursors. If they are not
supported, a monochrome approximation will be displayed.
The functions gdk_display_supports_cursor_alpha()
and
gdk_display_supports_cursor_color()
can be used to determine
whether RGBA cursors are supported;
gdk_display_get_default_cursor_size()
and
gdk_display_get_maximal_cursor_size()
give information about
cursor sizes.
On the X backend, support for RGBA cursors requires a sufficently new version of the X Render extension.
display : |
the GdkDisplay for which the cursor will be created |
pixbuf : |
the GdkPixbuf containing the cursor image |
x : |
the horizontal offset of the 'hotspot' of the cursor. |
y : |

Returns : | a new GdkCursor. |
Since 2.4
GdkCursor* gdk_cursor_new_from_name (GdkDisplay *display, const gchar *name);
Creates a new cursor by looking up name
in the current cursor
theme.

name : |
the name of the cursor |
Returns : | a new GdkCursor, or NULL if there is no cursor with
the given name
|
Since 2.8
GdkCursor* gdk_cursor_new_for_display (GdkDisplay *display, GdkCursorType cursor_type);
Creates a new cursor from the set of builtin cursors. Some useful ones are:
GDK_RIGHT_PTR (right-facing arrow)
GDK_CROSSHAIR (crosshair)
GDK_XTERM (I-beam)
GDK_WATCH (busy)
GDK_FLEUR (for moving objects)
GDK_HAND1 (a right-pointing hand)

GDK_LEFT_SIDE (resize left side)
GDK_RIGHT_SIDE (resize right side)
GDK_TOP_LEFT_CORNER (resize northwest corner)
GDK_TOP_RIGHT_CORNER (resize northeast corner)
GDK_BOTTOM_LEFT_CORNER (resize southwest corner)

GDK_TOP_SIDE (resize top side)
GDK_BOTTOM_SIDE (resize bottom side)
GDK_SB_H_DOUBLE_ARROW (move vertical splitter)
GDK_SB_V_DOUBLE_ARROW (move horizontal splitter)
To make the cursor invisible, use gdk_cursor_new_from_pixmap()
to create
a cursor with no pixels in it.
display : |
the GdkDisplay for which the cursor will be created |
cursor_type : |
cursor to create |
Returns : | a new GdkCursor |
Since 2.2
GdkDisplay* gdk_cursor_get_display (GdkCursor *cursor);
Returns the display on which the GdkCursor is defined.
cursor : |
a GdkCursor. |
Returns : | the GdkDisplay associated to cursor
|
Since 2.2
GdkPixbuf* gdk_cursor_get_image (GdkCursor *cursor);
Returns a GdkPixbuf with the image used to display the cursor.
Note that depending on the capabilities of the windowing system and
on the cursor, GDK may not be able to obtain the image data. In this
case, NULL
is returned.
Since 2.8
GdkCursor* gdk_cursor_ref (GdkCursor *cursor);
Adds a reference to cursor
.
cursor : |
a GdkCursor |
Returns : | Same cursor that was passed in
|
void gdk_cursor_unref (GdkCursor *cursor);
Removes a reference from cursor
, deallocating the cursor
if no references remain.
cursor : |
a GdkCursor |
