.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
These procedures manage a collection of cursors
re-used efficiently, thereby avoiding server overhead, and also
allow cursors to be named with character strings.
.PP
-.VS 8.1
\fBTk_AllocCursorFromObj\fR takes as argument an object describing a
cursor, and returns an opaque Tk identifier for a cursor corresponding
to the description. It re-uses an existing cursor if possible and
\fBTk_GetCursorFromObj\fR. If an error occurs in creating the cursor,
such as when \fIobjPtr\fR refers to a non-existent file, then \fBNone\fR
is returned and an error message will be stored in \fIinterp\fR's result
-if \fIinterp\fR isn't NULL. \fIObjPtr\fR must contain a standard Tcl
+if \fIinterp\fR is not NULL. \fIObjPtr\fR must contain a standard Tcl
list with one of the following forms:
-.VE
.TP
\fIname\fR\0[\fIfgColor\fR\0[\fIbgColor\fR]]
\fIName\fR is the name of a cursor in the standard X cursor cursor,
i.e., any of the names defined in \fBcursorcursor.h\fR, without
the \fBXC_\fR. Some example values are \fBX_cursor\fR, \fBhand2\fR,
-or \fBleft_ptr\fR. Appendix B of ``The X Window System''
+or \fBleft_ptr\fR. Appendix B of
+.QW "The X Window System"
by Scheifler & Gettys has illustrations showing what each of these
cursors looks like. If \fIfgColor\fR and \fIbgColor\fR are both
specified, they give the foreground and background colors to use
including \fBibeam\fR, \fBcrosshair\fR, \fBwatch\fR, \fBplus\fR, and
\fBarrow\fR. In addition, Tk will load Macintosh cursor resources of
the types \fBcrsr\fR (color) and \fBCURS\fR (black and white) by the
-name of the of the resource. The application and all its open
+name of the resource. The application and all its open
dynamic library's resource files will be searched for the named
cursor. If there are conflicts color cursors will always be loaded
in preference to black and white cursors.
\fB@\fIsourceName\0maskName\0fgColor\0bgColor\fR
In this form, \fIsourceName\fR and \fImaskName\fR are the names of
files describing cursors for the cursor's source bits and mask.
-Each file must be in standard X11 or X10 cursor format.
+Each file must be in standard X11 cursor format.
\fIFgColor\fR and \fIbgColor\fR
indicate the colors to use for the
cursor, in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetColor\fR. This
cursor (\fB.ani\fR or \fB.cur\fR) from the file specified in
\fIsourceName\fR.
.PP
-.VS 8.1
\fBTk_GetCursor\fR is identical to \fBTk_AllocCursorFromObj\fR except
that the description of the cursor is specified with a string instead
of an object. This prevents \fBTk_GetCursor\fR from caching the
.PP
\fBTk_GetCursorFromObj\fR returns the token for an existing cursor, given
the window and description used to create the cursor.
-\fBTk_GetCursorFromObj\fR doesn't actually create the cursor; the cursor
+\fBTk_GetCursorFromObj\fR does not actually create the cursor; the cursor
must already have been created with a previous call to
\fBTk_AllocCursorFromObj\fR or \fBTk_GetCursor\fR. The return
value is cached in \fIobjPtr\fR, which speeds up
future calls to \fBTk_GetCursorFromObj\fR with the same \fIobjPtr\fR
and \fItkwin\fR.
-.VE
.PP
\fBTk_GetCursorFromData\fR allows cursors to be created from
in-memory descriptions of their source and mask cursors. \fISource\fR
#include "source.cursor"
#include "mask.cursor"
cursor = Tk_GetCursorFromData(interp, tkwin, source_bits,
- mask_bits, source_width, source_height, source_x_hot,
- source_y_hot, Tk_GetUid("red"), Tk_GetUid("blue"));
+ mask_bits, source_width, source_height, source_x_hot,

.CE
.PP
Under normal conditions \fBTk_GetCursorFromData\fR
\fBTk_NameOfCursor\fR. Also, this call is not portable except for
cursors returned by \fBTk_GetCursor\fR.
.PP
-.VS 8.1
When a cursor returned by \fBTk_AllocCursorFromObj\fR, \fBTk_GetCursor\fR,
or \fBTk_GetCursorFromData\fR
is no longer needed, \fBTk_FreeCursorFromObj\fR or
There should be exactly one call to \fBTk_FreeCursor\fR for

.SH BUGS
+.PP
In determining whether an existing cursor can be used to satisfy
a new request, \fBTk_AllocCursorFromObj\fR, \fBTk_GetCursor\fR,
and \fBTk_GetCursorFromData\fR
that if the same \fIsource\fR pointer is used in two different calls,
then the pointers refer to the same data; it does not check to
see if the actual data values have changed.
