Image Cursor Preferences
The properties of the Image Cursor are set on the Cursor preferences page of the Mira Preferences dialog. These preferences include the cursor shape, size, and color. You can also set the shape and size from the Image Window of interest.
The Cursor preferences page sets the properties of the Image Cursor on either a local basis (the active Image Window) or as default settings for all future Image Windows.

Cursor Shape |
Defines the shape used to draw the cursor. Regardless of the shape, its coordinate is measured at the center of the shape. The options are Rectangle, Crosshair, Lines (full image), and Hidden. |
|
Colors |
Defines the color used to draw the Normal cursor (not moving) and the Active Cursor (when moving). |

Image Cursor Size |

From the Image Window, right click to open the Image Context Menu, then select Cursor > Preferences.
From the pull-down menus, select View > Cursor > Preferences.
