package SelectMgr 

    	---Purpose: SelectMgr manages the process of dynamic
    	-- selection through the following services:
    	-- -   activating and deactivating selection modes for Interactive Objects
    	-- -   adding and removing viewer selectors
    	-- -   definitions of abstract filter classes
    	--  The principle of graphic selection consists in
    	-- representing the objects which you want to select
    	-- by a bounding box in the selection view. The object
    	-- is selected when you use the mouse to designate
    	-- the zone produced by the object.
    	-- To realize this, the application creates a selection
    	-- structure which is independent of the point of view.
    	-- This structure is made up of sensitive primitives
    	-- which have one owner object associated to each of
    	-- them. The role of the sensitive primitive is to reply
    	-- to the requests of the selection algorithm whereas
    	-- the owner's purpose is to make the link between
    	-- the sensitive primitive and the object to be selected.
    	-- Each selection structure corresponds to a selection
    	-- mode which defines the elements that can be selected.
    	-- For example, to select a complete geometric model,
    	-- the application can create a sensitive primitive for
    	-- each face of the interactive object representing the
    	-- geometric model. In this case, all the primitives
    	-- share the same owner. On the other hand, to select
    	-- an edge in a model, the application must create
    	-- one sensitive primitive per edge.
    	-- Example
    	-- void
    	-- InteractiveBox::ComputeSelection
    	--       (const Handle(SelectMgr_Selection)& Sel,
    	--        const Standard_Integer Mode){ switch(Mode){ case 0:
    	-- // locating the whole box by making its faces sensitive ...
    	--          {
    	-- Handle(SelectMgr_EntityOwner)
    	--  Ownr = new
    	-- SelectMgr_EntityOwner(this,5);
    	--        for(Standard_Integer
    	-- I=1;I<=Nbfaces;I++){Sel->Add(new Select3D_SensitiveFace
    	--                (Ownr,[array of the vertices] face I);
    	--        break;
    	--        }
    	-- case 1:         // locates the   edges
    	--          {
    	--        for(Standard_Integer
    	--  i=1;i<=12;i++){
    	--                         // 1 owner per edge...
    	--          Handle(mypk_EdgeOwner)
    	--  Ownr = new
    	-- mypk_EdgeOwner(this,i,6);
    	--                         // 6->priority
    	--          Sel->Add(new
    	--          Select3D_SensitiveSegment
    	--                   (Ownr,firstpt(i),lastpt(i));
    	--        }
    	--        }
    	-- }
    	-- The algorithms for creating selection structures
    	-- store the sensitive primitives in a
    	-- SelectMgr_Selection object. To do this, a set of
    	-- ready-made sensitive primitives is supplied in the
    	-- Select2D and Select3D packages. New sensitive
    	-- primitives can be defined through inheritance
    	-- from   SensitiveEntity. For the application to make
    	-- its own objects selectable, it must define owner
    	-- classes inheriting SelectMgr_EntityOwner.
    	-- For any object inheriting from
    	-- AIS_InteractiveObject, you redefine its
    	-- ComputeSelection functions. In the example below
    	-- there are different modes of selection on the
    	-- topological shape contained within the interactive
    	-- object -selection of the shape itself, the vertices,
    	-- the edges, the wires, the faces.
    	-- Example
    	-- void
    	-- MyPack_MyClass::ComputeSelection(
    	--             const Handle(SelectMgr_Selection)& aSelection,
    	--             const Standard_Integer aMode)
    	-- {
    	--    switch(aMode){
    	--   case 0:
    	--   StdSelect_BRepSelectionTool::Load(
    	--      aSelection,this,myShape,TopAbs_SHAPE);
    	--   break;
    	--   }
    	--   case 1:
    	--   StdSelect_BRepSelectionTool::Load(
    	--      aSelection,this,myShape,TopAbs_VERTEX);
    	--   break;
    	--   }
    	--    case 2:
    	--    StdSelect_BRepSelectionTool::Load(
    	--       aSelection,this,myShape,TopAbs_EDGE);
    	--    break;
    	--    }
    	--    case 3:
    	--    StdSelect_BRepSelectionTool::Load(
    	--       aSelection,this,myShape,TopAbs_WIRE);
    	--    break;
    	--    }
    	--    case 4:
    	--    StdSelect_BRepSelectionTool::Load(
    	--       aSelection,this,myShape,TopAbs_FACE);
    	--    break;
    	--    }
    	-- }
    	-- The StdSelect_BRepSelectionTool object
    	-- provides a high level service which will make the
    	-- shape 'myShape' selectable when the
    	-- AIS_InteractiveContext is asked to display your object.
    	--   Note: The traditional way of highlighting selected entity
    	-- owners adopted by the Open CASCADE library assumes that
    	-- each entity owner highlights itself on its own. This approach
    	-- has two drawbacks: 
    	--      -      each entity owner has to maintain its own
    	--         Prs3d_Presentation object, that results in
    	--         large memory overhead for thousands of owners;
    	--      -      drawing selected owners one by one is not
    	--         efficient from the OpenGL usage viewpoint.
    	-- That is why a different method has been introduced. On the basis of
    	-- SelectMgr_EntityOwner::IsAutoHilight() return value an AIS_LocalContext
    	-- object either uses the traditional way of highlighting
    	-- (IsAutoHilight() returned true) or groups such owners according
    	-- to their Selectable Objects and finally calls
    	-- SelectMgr_SelectableObject::HilightSelected()
    	-- or ClearSelected(), passing a group of owners as an argument.
    	-- Hence, an application can derive its own interactive object and
    	-- redefine HilightSelected(), ClearSelected() and
    	-- HilightOwnerWithColor() virtual methods to take advantage of
    	-- such OpenGL technique as arrays of primitives. In any case,
    	-- these methods should at least have empty implementation.
    	-- The AIS_LocalContext::UpdateSelected(const Handle(AIS_InteratciveObject)&,
    	-- Standard_Boolean) method can be used for efficient redrawing a
    	-- selection presentation for a given interactive object from an
    	-- application code.
    	-- Additionally, the SelectMgr_SelectableObject::ClearSelections()
    	-- method now accepts an optional boolean argument. This parameter
    	-- defines whether all object selections should be flagged for
    	-- further update or not. This improved method can be used to
    	-- re-compute an object selection (without redisplaying the object
    	-- completely) when some selection mode is activated not for the first time.
