Selection points by mouse with "plotter.enable_rubber_band_syle" or custom interactorstyle

[Gerd-RVHG]

Hello all,
i want to select points by mouse. I found no example :-(. The idea is to use "plotter.enanble_rubber_band_style" or a custom interactorstyle. How can i get the position of the selection rectangle and add for examble a callback that i can highlight the points. Have somebody an example for this.
Thanks

Have you tried enable_cell_picking() or enable_point_picking():

Thanks a lot of your answer. Yes, i have tried both functions. The problem is that you can pick only one point/cell. With the callback, i can do my addionally function.I want to pick multiple points. With the function "enable_rubber_band_style" (https://docs.pyvista.org/api/plotting/_autosummary/pyvista.Plotter.enable_rubber_band_style.html) i can create a Selektion recangle. This function does not have any callback. The question is, how can i get the coordinates of rectangle? And how can i use this function in combination with a vtkAreaPicker (like described  in the documentation)? Am 14.09.2022 15:12 schrieb Bane Sullivan ***@***.***>: Have you tried enable_cell_picking() or enable_point_picking(): https://docs.pyvista.org/api/plotting/_autosummary/pyvista.Plotter.enable_cell_picking.htmlhttps://docs.pyvista.org/api/plotting/_autosummary/pyvista.Plotter.enable_point_picking.html —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you authored the thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>

Hey, did you already solve this? I also want to get the coordinates of the drawn rectangle so I can implement it in pyvista.DataSetFilters.clip_box as the x and y coordinates for the bounds argument. @banesullivan would you have any other idea to clip parts of a mesh by drawing a rectangle and remove everything thats inside it?
