How to make selection (rectangle) in OS X

[Alain Birtz]

How to make selection in OS X ?
Equivalent of dotted line rectangle in OS 9.
There is documentation for Drag & Drop, but I whish only
make a selection by rectangle (inside NSView) without dragging anything.

There are several examples of selection markers in the "Cropped Image"
sample project at:

There's a finder-style marker (translucent inside), iPhoto-style (clear
inside, rest of the view tinted with a translucent overlay), as well as
a lasso, and a simple rectangular marker.
