==================
Rectangle Selector
==================

Do a mouseclick somewhere, move the mouse to some destination, release
the button.  This class gives click- and release-events and also draws
a line or a box from the click-point to the actual mouseposition
(within the same axes) until the button is released.  Within the
method ``self.ignore()`` it is checked whether the button from eventpress
and eventrelease are the same.
