// .NAME vtkRenderedAreaPicker - Uses graphics hardware to picks props behind
// a selection rectangle on a viewport.
//
// .SECTION Description
// Like vtkAreaPicker, this class picks all props within a selection area
// on the screen. The difference is in implementation. This class uses
// graphics hardware to perform the test where the other uses software
// bounding box/frustum intersection testing.
//
// This picker is more conservative than vtkAreaPicker. It will reject
// some objects that pass the bounding box test of vtkAreaPicker. This
// will happen, for instance, when picking through a corner of the bounding
// box when the data set does not have any visible geometry in that corner.

  // Description:
  // Perform pick operation in volume behind the given screen coordinates.
  // Props intersecting the selection frustum will be accessible via GetProp3D.
  // GetPlanes returns a vtkImplicitFunciton suitable for vtkExtractGeometry.
