2.3.4  Mouse pointer

The mouse pointer in the program window is crosshair-shaped to precisely select a body of as small as 1 pixel without covering that body. The color of the mouse pointer depends on the local content in the program window, appearing in its inverse colors. As part of the mouse pointer, a one-line text information may appear below the crosshair to inform about the current program state.

Figure 7 shows the mouse pointer and its Zoom state:

If in Edit state, the mouse pointer stands above a selected (see Selection), holded (see Body holding) or sticked (see Stick) body, or in Simulation state, the information text in the mouse pointer is underlined.
