CONTROLLING THE CURSOR OBJECTS
There are two
cursor
objects, called
cursor1
and
cursor2
. Each of the
cursor
objects consist of a
horizontal and vertical line that intersect at their mid points. Each of the
cursor
objects can be controlled
independently, and operate the same way. References throughout this section to the
cursor
object apply
to either
cursor1
or
cursor2
. The lines are shaped to avoid sharp transitions in the video. Line width may
be adjusted using the

line.
