[Plastic-devs] highlightObject event ?

[Pierre F. <fer...@si...>]

Dear Plastic developers,

The Plastic mechanism is typically interresting for cross object 
selections. Presently, there is only one message about that 
(showObjects) generally implemented by the selection of the 
corresponding objects in the applications.

I would really appreciate, and I suppose that I will be not alone, if we 
can introduce the following distinction : showObjects and HighlightObject.

It could seem a subtle difference, but in practice this difference is 
evident.

Presently, when I select some objects in Aladin, the corresponding 
records appear in the TOPcat table.
But it will be great just by moving the mouse on this list (TOPcat side) 
or on objects (Aladin side) the current line/object will be highlighted. 
Without this highlight function, I can modify the selection and keep an 
unique object, but in practice it is not flexible at all as you lost 
your first selection. My example concerns Aladin and TOPcat, but it will 
be exactly the same need for VisIVO or other tools.

Comments ?

Regards,
Pierre Fernique
