I agree that displaying a live updating rectangle/slider following the mouse is near impossible. For selecting region, supporting two mouse click should be totally doable. For selecting data series, read-from-minibuffer together with user’s favorite completion/fuzzy search package should be suffice. Those are discrete event. But do we really need continuous event that much? E.g. what useful information is exchanged between computer/user when drawing a rectangle following user’s mouse? It seems to me that only the starting and ending position matters. More here http://cat-v.mit.edu/2019-10-15-mouse-considered-harmful.html However, if everyone decides that every event mouse spits out matters (which is a lot), then it is the case that image display won’t work good enough. |
