The class AlPickList provides access to the list of active objects from within an OpenAlias plug-in and OpenModel applications. The pick list could include objects picked from the modeling windows and the multilister. AlPickList also includes methods to manipulate the pick list and perform global picking operations, such as picking an object from the screen. Most of the non-interactive methods will also function in OpenModel, making this class a useful utility in both situations.

Many objects are derived from AlPickable. Like AlAnimatable and AlClusterable, AlPickable encapsulates the shared behavior of a collection of types, in this case the behavior of all objects that can be picked. See the AlPickable documentation for further information.
