# This is an example from The Inventor Mentor,
# chapter 10, example 6.
#
# This example demonstrates the use of the pick filter
# callback to implement a top level selection policy.
# That is, always select the top most group beneath the
# selection node,  rather than selecting the actual
# shape that was picked.
