OOF2: The Manual

Details

Description

Select a contiguous set of pixels by sweeping the mouse over them. The mouse acts like a paintbrush with a size and shape given by the style parameter.

The source parameter is the path to a Microstructure or Image. If it's an Image, the selection is made in the Microstructure in which the Image resides.

The points parameter is a Python list of Points in the Microstructure. The selected pixels will be those that are under the brush when the brush is centered on one of the specified points or on any point on the line segments joining them.

The shift and ctrl parameters govern how the current selection (i.e, the set of objects defined by this operation) is merged with the previous selection (the objects already selected) to form a new selection, as shown in Table 6.1. They indicate whether (True) or not (False) the shift and control keys were depressed during the mouse click that initiated this command.

Figure 6.15. Selecting Pixels with the Brush

(a) Click and drag to select pixels, as partially illustrated by the yellow curve. The brush shape is drawn around the mouse cursor. In this example it's a GfxCircleBrush with radius=3.0. The cursor's path is drawn as well. (The Microstructure is 92×91, in physical units).

(b) The pixels selected in (a).
