The procedure below plots a moving crosshair, example:
IDL> window
IDL> bighair, COLOR=!d.n_colors-1

; NAME:
; BIGHAIR
;
; PURPOSE:
;
; Gets cursor location in current window,
; using cursor lines across the entire window.
; /Keyboard accepts arrow keys input from keyboard, rather than mouse
; Accelerate = number of pixels to jump in "/keyboard" mode.
; The X and Y cursor locations (in pixels) are returned.
; Further modification could allow Normalized or
; Data coordinates to be returned.
;
;
;
; CATEGORY:
; Interactive Drawing
;
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
; IDL> BIGHAIR, x, y [,/Keyboard [,Accelerate=# pixels]]
;
; KEYWORDS:
; KEYBOARD Use keyboard instead of mouse
; ACCELERATE increase steps on usage with keyboard
; PERMANENT show current position permanently
; COLOR color to draw bighair

; Added to idlmeteo 11-june-1993 oet@sma.ch
; 28-june-1993, oet@sma.ch, inserted short
; wait (0.2) after first plot, to get
; more stability on first plot.
; 9-Aug-1993, oet@sma.ch, added keywords
; PERMANENT and COLOR
