<div dir="ltr"><pre style="margin-left:2em;color:rgb(0,0,0)">I wish to draw onto a canvas, select certain objects using a (repaint the selected objects red) self-implemented select method, and delete them (undo if done wrongly) with, small misc. features like zooming in and out, dragging the canvas to view different areas. I've gotten so far as mimicking a graphical representation of "selecting", but it seems awfully laggy. Second, the bounding box of "select" disappears if the user holds the mouse cursor inert. I can remedy this by placing the line drawing functions in paint-callback, but i don't know if that would be a good idea to do it with a flag (to differentiate between normal drawing and redrawing selected items) Also, implementing a select method seems way more complex than i first thought it would be, although since now i'm at this point, i can roughly figure out the next few steps would be.</pre><pre style="margin-left:2em;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></pre><pre style="margin-left:2em;color:rgb(0,0,0)">1. A function to calculate all the bounding areas of currently-drawn objects, then redraw them in red if their coordinates are within the bounding box of "select".</pre><pre style="margin-left:2em;color:rgb(0,0,0)">2. Redraw all objects without selected items if delete button pressed. </pre><pre style="margin-left:2em;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></pre><pre style="margin-left:2em;color:rgb(0,0,0)">If i am unnecessarily doing anything or looking at the problem the wrong way, please let me know.
