Very impressive and exciting possibilities. Let me ask about this.  
Imagine that instead of a surface we had a point cloud. Would it be possible to draw a polygon that encloses the ellipses and mark those points somehow (visually they would change color). And after that export the point cloud with those points flagged?

(Basically, I’m asking if one can do multi-beam bathymetry data cleaning)

Hmm, probably? It would be a lot of work though.

1. Set up some hotkey to trace mousepositions. That’s possible via `fig.scene.events.mousebutton` and `fig.scene.events.mouseposition`.
2. Convert the traced path to a polygon. Might be helpful to check out the [poly](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl/blob/master/src/basic_recipes/poly.jl) recipe code in Makie

From that point you have two options. The easier way would be to use the inbuilt point picking, i.e. `pick(scene::SceneLike, rect::IRect2D)` and filter all the points inside the polygon you’ve drawn. This will only capture visible points though. The other option is to do `point in polygon` for each point in 3d. You can probably reuse the [ray casting](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl/blob/291f8f6d19f0f6b9b6d762aef698e2b079923a22/src/interaction/inspector.jl#L80) from lines to extrude and project each point of the polygon. I don’t think GeometryBasics has a `point in mesh`, maybe `Meshes` has it, if not you’d have to implement it as well.

Thanks for the pointers but meanwhile why doesn’t this plot a scatter points plot?

```julia
f = Figure(resolution = (1200, 800), fontsize = 14)
ax = Axis3(f[fldmod1(1, 2)...], aspect = (1,1,1));
GLMakie.scatter!(rand(10), rand(10), rand(10))

```

Would you mind say something about “ **AlgebraOfGraphics** ”? I noticed there is a package called [AlgebraOfGraphics.jl](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/AlgebraOfGraphics.jl). Thanks.

Is it possible that `GLMakie` does not export `DataInspector` on its own, and that one needs to run `using Makie` to import the type?

```julia
julia> using GLMakie

julia> DataInspector
ERROR: UndefVarError: DataInspector not defined

You’re behind on GLMakie. 0.3.0 is the latest version.

That seems to be an issue with Axis3… Doing the same with `LScene` works fine.

It’s an issue with scatter I think, exacerbated by the way that Axis3’s camera matrices are set up

After updating GLMakie specifically, I seem to still have the wrong version. I don’t understand why. I really don’t expect personal IT support, and I am sure that it will be fine in some time, after things update.

Thanks you so much for your work, especially in the data-interaction department! It has been a large anticipation for me personally.

" Add one or more of the Makie backend packages [`GLMakie.jl`](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/GLMakie.jl) (OpenGL), [`CairoMakie.jl`](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/CairoMakie.jl) (Cairo), or [`WGLMakie.jl`](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/WGLMakie.jl) (WebGL)." (From the documentation)

I still find it a bit confusing… I find the Plots way that you install the main package, and it brings with it a default backend (and then you can install others) a more intuitive way than installing a backend in order to install the main plotting package…

I prefer the Makie way personally. I just install the backend I want instead of getting another backend installed accidentally like with Plots.jl.
