Get the number of point of a point selection

[lechristophe]

I'm sure this is trivial, but how can I get the number of points of a
multi-point selection (command / macro function) ? I can do Analyze>Measure
for the selection and retrieve the number of lines in the Results Table but
there is probably a more direct way.

Thanks !

You could do:

getSelectionCoordinates(xCoordinates, yCoordinates);
print( lengthOf(xCoordinates) );

That's exactly the kind of hack I could use. Thanks a lot Gabriel !
