Description

This demo shows how to use MarqueeSelectionInputMode to create new nodes.

This is done by adding a listener that creates a node the size of the marquee rectangle when a selection is finished.

Also note that the marquee rectangle snaps to other nodes. This is achieved by using a custom MarqueeSelectionInputMode and relaying the size and location of the marquee rectangle to a SnapContext, which provides a visualisation as well as a SnapResult to which the marquee rectangle can be snapped to. The NodeStyle used for default node creation is reused in the marquee's template to style the selection rectangle.

Things to Try

Drag the mouse to span a rectangular selection that transforms into a node on release.
