Select drawing tool

rsrc/simpleselect-tool.png image SELECT is a drawing tool capable of selecting rectangular regions. It is also a meta-tool and can make use of brush tool, ellipse tool or others to modify selection.

Modifier keys

When SHIFT and/or CTRL keys are down while selecting, they modify the behavior of the tool.

  • No keys - previous selection is overwritten by new selection.
  • SHIFT - newly selected region is added to previous selection.
  • CTRL - new selection negates the old selection (also known as symmetrical difference or XOR function).
  • CTRL+SHIFT - newly selected region is removed from previous selection.

SELECT_ meta-tool

Any of the ordinary tools can be modified by the SELECT meta-tool to affect selection instead of ordinary pixels. To specify the meta-tool, use SELECT followed by an underscore and then the name of the ordinary tool. For example: SELECT_BRUSH or SELECT_ELLIPSE. The modifier keys apply to the meta-tools in the same way as to the normal SELECT tool.
