Hello Luke,


I am looking for a tool to visualize and manipulate tetrahedral mesh. I 
have some experience with numpy, matplotlib but nothing with  opengl. With 
PyQtGraph you are doing a great job and pyqtgraph.examples helps to easily 
understand the functionality. I have a question about 
pyqtgraph.opengl.GLViewWidget.itemsAt. It takes the rectangular regions of 
interest and gives back the list of items which are currently inside.  But 
how can I get the ID of a single face from the mesh item?


Let me shortly explain. I display tetrahedral mesh (vertices, faces) like a 
single item using pyqtgraph.openg.GLMeshItem. And I want to click at a 
single face and to get it’s ID in order to, let's say, change the face 
color and  modify a numpy array which is linked to the face by the ID.

I tried to plot faces like a separate items but it works slow and itemsAt 
returns all the faces which are in the region of interest, while I need 
only the one which is closest to the user. 


Could you please give me advice how can I effectively plot a huge mesh and 
get access to a single face by mouse click? Maybe I have not managed to 
explain properly. Please have a look at java script example 
<http://threejs.org/examples/?q=active#webgl_interactive_cubes_gpu>which 
almost does what I tried to in Python using PyQtGraph.

Thank and best regards,
