[osg-users] Drawing around screen selection

2010-01-20 Thread Martin Beckett
Does anyone have any suggestions for showing a live mouse selected region on 
screen?

Currenlty for selecting areas near the ground I create a transparent plane just 
below ground level, do a linesegment intersect and then draw a polygon on the 
plane at the intersection points.

But I now need to be able to select areas of points to delete from any angle 
with a polytope. 

One solution would be to generate a large invisible plane parralel to the 
screen at some distance and draw a polygon onto this (while locking rotations).
Is there a better approach?

Erm - can you elaborate a little?
