    What do you mean by "select box"? There's no persistent selection box, so I don't really know what you're asking here.

    My guess is that you probably want to use enterBox() - see the documentation on this function. This allows you to prompt the user to enter a box, and then you can pass the resulting box coordinates to a function when the user has completed the box entry.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

     I want to make function like chop. For this, I could have coordinates of selection area.

    In my first post, I mean: How I can to get coorfinates of selection area?

    So does enterBox() (or any of the other "enter*" functions described in the same manual) provide what you want?

    The documentation is in <ICinstDir>/doc/skuiref/skuiref.pdf

    Otherwise, you can get hold of the selected set of objects (with geGetSelSet() , say), but there's nothing to get the last "select box" (for a start, you might have selected without using a box - just by clicking - there is no storage of the last "select box", as I said before). It would be a very odd use model to do that, I think.

    I still don't think your objective is very clear - but perhaps if you can look at enterBox and the other related enter functions, you may find a better way to do what you're trying to achieve.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
