Signature

Description

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

The available shapes for the text cursor can be queried with query_tshapequery_tshapeQueryTshapeQueryTshapeQueryTshape.

• Processed without parallelization.
