select objects

Hi,

I want to select some objects in a layout. I know that I could do this
in SKILL with geSelectArea(windowId bBox). But I want to use a polygon
by using enterPoints() to define the area and not a bBox, which is
defined by a rectangle.
Has anyone an idea how I could solve this problem ?

I wrote a solution for this on sourcelink; the solution number is 11024326.

Note, my solution only works for polygons with orthogonal edges - but the
solution above references a PCR enhancement asking for built-in support
for selecting by polygon area.

THX. It works fine.
