[vtkusers] Custom mouse cursor at renderer

[Karthik Krishnan]

Fabio:

The interface is not provided yet, but is woefully in want of being
extended.

Check if the following cursor shapes aren't enough for your purposes....

  http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/pixmap-and-cursor/XCreateFontCursor.html

You'll also want to find equivalent ones


If so, you'll need to extend the #defines in vtkRenderWindow and in
vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow.cxx and the OsX ones.


You could also create your pixmap cursors using XCreatePixmapCursor rather
than use the existing ones provided by XCreateFontCursor, although I suspect
X's extensive suite is enough for most needs.
