Detailed Description

Interface used to create selection objects.

Library: views

This abstract class provides an interface to create the selection object that must be associated with a graphic object. The selection object is used to highlight and manipulate the selected object.
Each subclass must provide an implementation for the IlvSelectionInterface::makeSelection method. Each graphic class can then be associated with a specific IlvSelectionInterface subclass using the DeclareInterface and IlvRegisterInterface macros.

First, add the following in the class declaration:

class MyGraphicClass : public IlvSimpleGraphic {
.....
DeclareInterface(Selection);
.....
};

Then, add the following in the implementation file, outside the body of a function:

IlvRegisterInterface(Selection,MyGraphicClass,MySelectionInterfaceClass);
