cursoff(3) — Unix Programmer’s Manual
NAME
cursoff - turn the cursor off
SYNOPSIS
C
cursoff()
FORTRAN
subroutine cursof
Pascal
procedure cursoff;
DESCRIPTION
Cursoff prevents the cursor from being displayed. This command should precede any drawing commands that write into the currently displayed cursor planes.
The cursor, by default, is always displayed. As it is drawn on the screen, the image that it covers is saved away. When the cursor moves, the saved image is restored. If the image changes while the cursor is displayed, the saved image may no longer be valid. This is a concern in single buffer and RGB modes and in double buffer mode when the front buffer is enabled.
SEE ALSO
curson, getcursor, setcursor
NOTE
This command can only be used in immediate mode.
