Hello all,

I have a requirement thath the user be able to select a rectangular area of a 
map (via box selection) such that thereafter, the selection can be visualized 
either positively or negatively, meaning "only the selected area" or 
"everything except the selected area". To visualize the first case, I would 
like to have the map covered with a semi-opaque color (or some pattern), with 
the exception of the selected rectangle, where the map should be displayed 
normally. Vice-versa for the second case.

Can somebody give me a pointer how to implement this? It is of course easy to 
draw a box with fillOpacity=0.5 (covering case 2), but I am unclear how to 
cover the other case.

TIA,
Christian
