Detailed Description

select a point by shooting a ray into a graphics window

vtkPointPicker is used to select a point by shooting a ray into a graphics window and intersecting with actor's defining geometry - specifically its points. Beside returning coordinates, actor, and mapper, vtkPointPicker returns the id of the point projecting closest onto the ray (within the specified tolerance). Ties are broken (i.e., multiple points all projecting within the tolerance along the pick ray) by choosing the point closest to the ray.
