```
public class SelectionOutline
extends java.lang.Object
```
This static singleton class implements a component that can be used to highlight any other Canvas or FormItem by drawing a line around it and optional label. The selection outline moves, resizes and hides with the target object, and does not occlude any part of it. The outline is not a peer, child or member of the target object; the target object does not know about the outline.
NOTE: This class is for internal use only by EditContext.
