Selecting Points in Plots
To select a point in a plot, click the point with the arrow cursor. This selects the point as well as the
corresponding row in the current data table. To keep all points selected, press the Shift key while you
click new points. A point’s label appears when you place the cursor over the point with or without
clicking.
Selecting Rows and Columns in Plots, Charts, and Graphs
All graphs and plots that represent the same data table are linked to each other and to the
corresponding data table. When you click points in plots or bars of a graph, the corresponding rows
highlight in the data table. The example in Figure 6.18 shows a histogram with the SPEEDYTYPE bar
highlighted, and the corresponding rows highlighted in the table. You can also extend the selection of
bars in a histogram by pressing Shift and then clicking them.

Selecting a Rectangular Area of Points
You can select all points that fall in a rectangular area using the arrow cursor. Click and drag the arrow
to highlight points. Alternatively, you can use the brush tool. As you move the brush over the graph,
points that fall within the rectangle are selected. Any points marked in the data table as hidden are not
selected. (See “Hiding Rows and Columns,” p. 132.)
