Area Swipe Technique

[ ]
Support the area swipe technique only when a common selection in the scope consists of a set of spatially adjacent elements.

[ ]
Support the area swipe technique only when discontiguous selections are allowed.

Define the current selection region to consist of the specified area as follows:

  1. Enlarged, if indicated by the end-point inclusion policy, to include the element, if any, at the initial corner of the area

  2. Enlarged, if indicated by the end-point inclusion policy, to include the element, if any, at the opposite corner of the area

    3. [ ]
    After a mouse-based area swipe technique is used:

    1. Identify the anchor point to be the point at which the SELECT button was pressed.

    2. Identify the anchor element to be the element, if any, within the selection region nearest to the anchor point.

      3. [ ]
      After a mouse-based area swipe technique, place the active cursor as follows:

      1. At the point at which the SELECT button was released, if it can be placed there

      2. If using an element cursor, on some element within the region

      3. If there are no elements in the region, where the cursor previously was in the scope

        4. [ ]
        When using the area swipe technique in select mode:

        1. Select all the elements in the selection region.

        2. Deselect all other elements in the scope.

          When using the area swipe technique in toggle mode:

          1. Toggle all elements in the selection region, based on the toggling policy.

          2. Do not change the selection state of the other elements.
