Hi everybody,

I'm trying to make an app for labeling LaserScans, e.g. left leg of
person A, using librviz (fuerte). I planed to use the "Select" tool
and add a few widgets that would enable the actual labeling of the
selection, but just getting to a proof-of-concept that would display
underlying LaserScan message data from the selection proved to be
rather difficult.

In order to get to the proof-of-concept I also had to export
"-I${prefix}/src/rviz/" cflag and modify the API in the following way:
I moved the rviz::PointCloudSelectionHandler class definition to
rviz/default_plugin/point_cloud_base.h and made it's
getCloudAndLocalIndexByGlobalIndex method public. To use it, I also
had to make rviz::PointCloudBase::CloudInfoPtr public.

Could this be done more elegantly? What would be the best way to use
"Select" tool in an librviz app.
