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 |
