Two questions about select tool

Community Support

  1. I’ve read plenty of posts re patches select w box/lasso etc not being implemented yet. Is a “greedy” select behavior in currently in development or planned? I’m referring to this open issue here - Lasso select not working on patches · Issue #2325 · bokeh/bokeh · GitHub

  2. I’m also wondering if there is a way to trigger a specific callback ONLY if the lasso select tool is specifically used to make a selection. I have other callbacks that alter the selection (for example using sliders), but I want a different behavior/callback for when the user makes a selection using the lasso select. Any idea how to go about this?

And as always, thanks for all this :slight_smile:

  1. It’s better to ask in the issue itself since people that might be working on it might not monitor Discourse that actively
  2. It’s not possible with the stock tool. But you could probably engineer something custom with some amount of TypeScript/JavaScript
