Non Rectangular selection area [message #662259]

I'd like to use a polygon for my node selection area. The polygon is a union of two rectangles one of which is placed on top of the other. In another word, the two rectangles don't overlap. The union is a "tight" union, e.g, the result of the union is a polygon made up of the areas of the two rectangles. And I modified my tool behavior's getSelectionBorder() to return such a polygon. But what's drawn on the canvas is still a large rectangle for the selection border. And the floating palette around the node disappeared too.

So does Graphiti support non-rectangular selection border?

Thanks!

Currently Graphiti doesn't support non-rectangular selection borders.

Matthias,

Would you consider supporting non-rectangular selection borders? How involved is this going to be?

Thanks,

Shenxue

Please open an enhancement request bugzilla for this against Graphiti.
Contributions are of course highly welcome... ;-)
