    drags a rectangle.

    An instance of me can be installed temporarily as controller of any view,

    to let the user select a rectangular area from the view.

    Use the utility method:

        dragRectangleIn:aView thenDo:action

    which does exactly that for your (and cares to restore any original controller)
