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.
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".
2. Redraw all objects without selected items if delete button pressed.
If i am unnecessarily doing anything or looking at the problem the
wrong way, please let me know. Thanks!
