### Signal

# Clutter Actor::pick

deprecated: 1.12

#### Declaration

    void
    pick (
      ClutterActor* self,
      ClutterPickContext* pick_context,
      gpointer user_data
    )

#### Description [src]

The signal is emitted each time an actor is being painted in “pick mode”. The pick mode is used to identify the actor during the event handling phase, or by clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos().

Subclasses of `ClutterActor` should override the class signal handler and paint themselves in that function.

It is possible to connect a handler to the signal in order to set up some custom aspect of a paint in pick mode.

Default handler: The default handler is called after the handlers added via `g_signal_connect()`.
Deprecated since: 1.12
Override the `ClutterActorClass`.pick virtual function instead.

#### Parameters

`pick_context`

  Type: `ClutterPickContext`

  A `ClutterPickContext`.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.
