python tkinter cursor icon change size


[enter image description here][1]I want to change the mouse icon on Tkinter to the resizing icon(when you take the mouse to the edges of a window it appears). I know I should use root.configure(cursor="the name") but I don't know the name and I searched it in the internet bot a long list came up and none of them was what I want. please just tell me the name of this icon.

this icon and horizontal and vertical type of it
