Signature

Description

set_tshapeset_tshapeSetTshapeSetTshapeSetTshape sets the shape and the display mode of the text cursor of the output window.

A text cursor marks the current position for text output. It is different from the mouse cursor (although both will be called 'cursor', if the context makes misconceptions impossible). The available shapes for the text cursor can be queried with query_tshapequery_tshapeQueryTshapeQueryTshapeQueryTshape.

• Processed without parallelization.

Parameters
