fullcross mouse pointer option in matlab figures

I was looking to have the mouse pointer as fullcross instead of arrow when I move it on top of my image. Looks like MATLAB doesnt support 'fullcross'. To be more specific, I would like the pointer to be a fullcross but a hole at the intersection(sort of able to look at the image at the intersection).

Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks, Bala

I think you're looking for the undocumented Pointer property of figures (look here for a complete list). You can also customize mouse pointer using the undocumented function setptr().

Anyhow here is what I think you mean by fullcross (fullcrosshair according to Matlab):

clear
clc
close all

A = imread('peppers.png');

hFig = figure;
imshow(A)

set(hFig, 'Pointer', 'fullcrosshair');

Output:
