.SH DESCRIPTION
\*(CbSoSelection\f1 defines a node which can be inserted into a scene graph and will generate and manage a selection list from picks on any node in the subgraph below it. Nodes are selected based on a current selection policy.
\&Callback functions report back to the application when a path has been selected or deselected. The selection list can also be managed programmatically. 
.sp
When handling events, \*(CbSoSelection\f1 makes sure that the mouse
\&release event was over the same object as the mouse press event before changing the list of selected objects. This allows users to mouse down on an object, change their mind and move the cursor off the
\&object, then release the mouse button without altering the selection. 
.sp
The selection can be highlighted automatically through the \*(CbSoXtRenderArea\f1, or the application can provide custom highlights. Please see the chapter
\&"Creating a Selection Highlight Style" in the \f2Inventor Toolmaker\f1.

.br
.in 1i
\f1The pick filter callback is invoked when a pick has occurred and the selection node is about to change the selection list. The callback function returns the path that the selection node should use when
\&selecting and deselecting. If no pick callback is registered (the default), the selection node will use the path returned by \*(CbSoPickedPoint::getPath()\f1 on the picked point associated with the event being processed. The returned
\&path should not be ref'd - selection will \*(Cbref()\f1 and \*(Cbunref()\f1 it. (See \*(CbSoPath::unrefNoDelete()\f1.) 
.sp
Note that a picked object may or may not be a child of the selection node. A selection node will only select paths that pass through it. Possible
\&return values from the callback: 
.sp
[a] NULL \(em selection behaves as if nothing was picked (i.e. for SINGLE and SHIFT policies, this clears the selection list). Handle event action traversal halts. 
.sp
[b] Path \(em
\&this path will be selected/deselected according to the selection policy (it must lie under the selection node). Handle event action traversal halts. 
.sp
[c] Path containing \f2only\f1 the selection node \(em apply the
\&selection policy as if nothing was picked. Handle event action traversal continues. 
.sp
[d] Path not passing through the selection node \(em selection ignores this pick event and no change is made to the selection
\&list. Handle event action traversal continues. 
.sp
A simple way to tell selection to ignore the pick is to return an \*(CbSoPath\f1 with no nodes in it. (i.e. \*(Cbreturn new SoPath;\f1) Selection will always ref the path returned by the callback,
\&make a copy of the path, then unref the path. 
.sp
The \*(CrcallOnlyIfSelectable\f1 argument, when set to TRUE, means the pick callback function will only be invoked on picks which pass through the selection node. When FALSE, all picks
\&will be passed to the callback whether they pass through the selection or not.
