Turn of the cross-hair / selection pointer

Asked by MrEndorphine

Hi. I would like to take screen shots using a script.
However I do not like to have the "cross hair" in the middle of the screen.
Is there a way to turn it off? Alternatively, to make it bigger?

If you have selected an object and you know the name then

core.selectObjectByName("achernar", true); will show the cross hair

core.selectObjectByName("achernar", false); will hide the cross hair

you can use catalog numbers also. Instead of "achernar" you can use "HIP 7588"

If you do not want the cross hair to show for any object use:

core.selectObjectByName("", false);

To Show use:
core.selectObjectByName("", true);
