[comp.graphics] Object selection from a raster display

brians@fai.UUCP (Brian Sheldon) (07/13/90)

I am looking for some suggestions or references to an algorrithm for
selecting (or picking) objects with a mouse from a raster display.

How do you subdivide the display inot cells and how do you handle
multiple viewports? Any hints or tips will be appreciated.

Thanx in advance.
