Description

CircleNodeSelect is a selection method that selects Nodes in response to a mouse click in the graphics window when the Skeleton Selection toolbox is active and is set to Node mode. It selects all Nodes lying within a circle swept out by dragging the mouse, as shown in Figure 6.25. Click the mouse in the center of the circle and drag out along a radius.

skeleton is the Skeleton from which the Nodes are to be selected.

points is a list of Point objects. The first point in the list is the center of the circle, and the second point is a point on the circumference. Any other points in the list will be ignored.

The shift and ctrl parameters govern how the current selection (i.e, the set of Nodes defined by this operation) is merged with the previous selection (the Nodes 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.
