I would like to get an immediate response, while in select mode, to a selection hit. That is: 1) I enter select mode 2) I traverse my display list drawing entities one at a time 3) After drawing each entity I check a flag; If a hit has occured the flag is set and I can stop traversing my display list 4) After getting a hit I exit select mode and process my pick_buffer Anybody tried this? Anybody have any ideas?

In-Reply-To: uc!shamash!mcad@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu -- 02/06/90 16:29 I did try watching the pick buffer array, hoping that hits would appear as they occurred. No such luck. Is there a nice way to make a whole character string pickable? getcpos() doesn't seem to return useful information when in gselect mode.
