About Selection Handles

Selection handles are small squares on each corners of a graphic shape's bounding box, these are added by including a selection slot in the style frame. These are commonly used in graphics software packages; see Figure 6-2. The system can draw these handles, and supports hit testing of taps on these handles. The system does not, however, perform any action in response to the user's tap on a selection handle; responding to such a tap is the application's responsibility.
