Description
The "Information" tool only lets you click a point. It should allow you to select a box (give me information for the feature in this box).
Issue Links
- is depended upon by

UDIG-240
Info tool hits all layers, and has a whacky bounding box
-
I can't do that due to WMS spec (it is a point at something and ask "what is this")
Already had the request to change the cursor to a "pointer" so users don't expect to be able to draw a box.
Q: can Arc* do a info using a box?
Note we could try tricking the wms, define a "Screen" the size of the "box" with w=1 and h=1 and ask for the pixel.
Is it worth it to make the above hack? I kind of wanted the info toool to be a simple example (and not contain hacks).
We will change the cursor (to be a pointer) for the info tool, and leave this issue as a wish for a new tool.
