[Kstars-devel] Refined patch for wishlist 178232: List all objects within a rectangle

[Abhijit Apte]

Hi All,

I'm glad to send you one more patch for 178232 this time including the
following NEW functionality:
Rectangle selection with right-click drag will now not only list the stars
within that rectangle but also lists the deep sky objects in the rectangle.
a) galaxy
b) catalog star
c) open cluster
d) gaseous nebula
e) supernova remnant

P.S: I've attached the snapshots besides the patch for the same.
Interestingly in a small rectangle I selected I could get as many as 210
objects and double clicking each centered it in the sky map. :P

Aside to Alexey:

In its current form DetailDialog could not incorporate such functionality.

itself, it's quite nice to list all the objects in tabular fashion (with all
the details -- RA, Declination, Magnitude, Type of object etc in one single
dialog). The reason why I'm saying this is it'll be useful for astronomers
who actually want to focus on finding what all interesting could they find
in a region of the sky. We can add one more column in the table which
provides a link to more info or something which would then take to
DetailDialog for each object.
