Select by colour within a selection window

Unlike the SelColor command which selects all objects of a certain colour, is it possible to select by colour but only within a selection window?

Any Python hints would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan

You can use a custom filter for GetObjects

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

def color_filter(rhino_object, geometry, component_index):
    color = rs.ObjectColor(rhino_object)
    # allow for some margin
    if color.R > 220 and color.G < 30 and color.B < 30:
        return True
    return False

rs.GetObjects("get reds", custom_filter = color_filter)

Hi Steve,

I’m aware of the custom filter option for GetObjects, but I believe this is the first time I’ve seen an example of how to use it. Thank you for this. It should prove very useful.

Yeah, I love this possibility… --Mitch
