Get Selected nodes

[Jeroen Van hove]

hi, i'm visualizing an MPLS network using Guess. can anybody point me
in the right direction how i can get the nodes who are currently
viewed on the screen?
For example when you press shift an draw a rectange to zoom in. Have
tried about anything now but obvieusly still not the correct one.
(i'm guessing it would have to do something with piccolo?)

Thanks

It's a pretty gross violation of abstraction barriers, but if you're
using the piccolo interface (this is default), you can do:

cambounds = v.getGCamera().getViewBounds()

which asks the camera what it's looking at, and then this selects the
nodes in that region:

(x >= cambounds.x) & (x <= (cambounds.x + cambounds.width)) & (y >=
cambounds.y) & (y <= (cambounds.y + cambounds.height))

you might need to play a little with the widths and heights of nodes,
but it mostly works.

The problem in fact is that i don't know how to access the piccolo
object from guess.
I was already thinking about your solution before, but in order to do
this i need the piccolo object.

Just for the next persons who would encounter this issue.

found out that Guess.getFrame() equally returns a GFrame. than it is
only a mather of making a minar adjustment to the Guess source.
In GFrame.java add:
public MySelectionHandler getSelectionHandler(){
return pseh;
}

when using Guess.getFrame() just cast it to GFrame. and than you will
have everything you need.
