The selection

The user can select the current object by clicking on it. The current object will be displayed in red with a blue bounding rectangle. Depending on the selection mode (see further), other objects than the current one will also be selected. The selection (selected objects) are also diplayed in red, but with a red bounding rectangle. Objects can be added or removed from the selection by clicking while the "Control" is pressed. Dragging the pointer over the page, will select the objects enclosed in the rectangle shown. Some actions will be limited either to the current object or to the selected objects (selection).

In the selection mode, the points defining the current object are highlighted and can be edited (line containing items). New points can be added by double clicking on a line.
