Making selections is one of the primary ways of exploring data in Rerun.
|
|
The current selection can be changed with a mouse click on most elements of the -
|
|
including the [Blueprint](blueprints.md), [Viewport](viewport.md),
|
|
[Timeline](timeline.md)
|
|
and even the Selection view itself.

### Selection history
|
|
Rerun keeps a log of all your selections, allowing you to undo/redo previous selections
|
|
with the ←/→ buttons at the top of the view or `ctrl + shift + left/right`.
|
|
|
|
Right clicking on the buttons expands the full history
|
|
|
|
### What is selected
|
|
Here you find what is selected and for some objects in which context.
|
|
This context not only gives you a convenient way to jump to related objects,
|
|
but is also important for what the following sections are showing.
|
|
|
|
### Data & blueprint sections
|
|
The data section always shows static, raw user logged data for the currently selected time.
|
|
Some objects, e.g. Views, may not have a data section and expose only Blueprint options.
|
|
|
|
In contrast, the Blueprint section is timeline independent and exposes the
|
|
[Blueprint settings](blueprints.md) of an entity in the context of a given View.
|
|
To learn more about the various settings check the on-hover tooltips.
|
|
|
|
Click-through selections
|
|
------------------------
|
|
Making selections can be context sensitive to the current selection.
|
|
The most common case for this is selecting instances of an entity (see also [Batch Data](../../concepts/logging-and-ingestion/batches.md)):
|
|
E.g. in order to select a point of a point cloud in a View,
|
|
first select the entire entity (the cloud) by clicking on one of the points.
|
|
Once the cloud is selected, you can further refine that selection by clicking on an individual point.
|
|
|
|
Multi Selection
|
|
---------------
|
|
By holding `cmd/ctrl` upon click, you can add or remove selections from the set of currently selected objects.
|
|
The selection view shows all selected objects in the order they were added.
