What's the difference between cursor and overtype?

Cursor


Definition:

  • (n.) Any part of a mathematical instrument that moves or slides backward and forward upon another part.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The bright lines in the difference image represent the paths along which the filaments have moved and are measured using a crosshair cursor controlled by the mouse.
  • (2) The device consists of a motor-driven shaft which moves the record past a fixed cursor, and an electronic counter which records the movements of the shaft, thereby providing a cumulative tally of the distance of the current position of the cursor from some arbitrary origin on the record.
  • (3) By simply adjusting a linear cursor, which is parallel to the base line, to the highest and the lowest levels of the lesion, the sagittal image with the lesion clearly depicted is automatically reconstructed.
  • (4) The cursor was then blanked, with subjects being required to place the now invisible cursor over a target.
  • (5) Mu rhythm amplitude was assessed by on-line frequency analysis and translated into cursor movement: larger amplitudes moved the cursor up and smaller amplitudes moved it down.
  • (6) Tracking efficiency was far below that observed for upper articulator control of the cursor.
  • (7) In the parasternal four-chamber view, the cursor was set so as to cross obliquely the right ventricular inflow tract just below the tricuspid valve and the left atrium, just above the mitral valve.
  • (8) They were asked to exert forces continuously to draw lemniscates (figure eights) in specified or self-chosen planes and in the presence or absence of a three-dimensional visual feedback cursor and a visual template.
  • (9) The instantaneous force exerted by the subjects on the manipulandum was shown on the disk in the form of a feedback cursor.
  • (10) The animals were required to move a cursor from the start box to one of four target boxes by movement of the manipulandum.
  • (11) Control of fine angular movements of the head and of the distal phalanx of the right thumb were compared by measuring subjects' accuracy in guiding a cursor through a path on a computer screen by turning the head or moving the thumb.
  • (12) The glottal waveforms measured by sonic-sensing pen tracing, cursor outlining, a photocell technique, and television camera scanning are presented and compared with the conventional polar planimeter method.
  • (13) The Doppler cursor can be correctly aligned in the jet core and allows accurate measures, and the display of spectral analysis is better with faster computers.
  • (14) Alternative explanations for the right hand tracking results, and for the nonsignificant trend towards a laterality effect (cursor left field-right hemisphere) for left hand tracking, were discussed.
  • (15) Monkeys aligned a cursor bar with high-contrast square-wave gratings presented in a variety of orientations.
  • (16) This study examined a visual analog of the PAT in which subjects matched the vertical position of a continually moving horizontal line (target) presented on one side of their point of fixation, with a second line (cursor) presented on the other side of their fixation point.
  • (17) Refinements in training procedures and in the distribution-based method used to translate mu rhythm amplitudes into cursor movements should further improve this 1-dimensional control.
  • (18) Vesicle aggregation (a necessary pre-cursor to membrane fusion) and subsequent membrane destabilization (an essential component of fusion) were examined by freeze-fracture electron microscopy.
  • (19) Morphometry was done on visually normal, polygonal intermediate cells without signs of human papilloma virus infection, with a graphic tablet and cursor under 40x oil immersion, and data were handled by microcomputer.
  • (20) We have performed comparative studies of the QWERTY keybord, cursor control keys, mouse and graphics tablet for data entry in two intensive therapy unit (ITU) environments.

Overtype


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The DFS report said the directive read: "Ensure that if the field 52 of the payment is blank or displayes [sic] any Swift code that it is overtyped at the repair stage to a '.'
