[JAVA2D] CURSOR question

[Ted Hill]

Hello,   In an image processing application, I want to use a round 'cursor'  and to be able to tell whether certain image features (points) are inside or outside of the 'cursor.'   I'm thinking of using Ellipse2D as the cursor:       1. each time the mouse moves, redraw the circle centered at the MouseEvent's x,y       2. use Shape.contains(Point2D pt) to see whether certain points are within the circle       3. create an invisible cursor using a transparent gif so all you see is the circle      Does anyone have suggestions for better ways to do this?   Thanks,   Ted Hill
