Highlighting Data

You can highlight data in a plot or analysis tool using the Highlighter icon. Highlighting can be started graphically by using Alt-select and dragging a box around the data to be highlighted. This can occur multiple times. Use Shift-Alt-select-drag to unhighlight (graphically, also multiple unselect sections allowed). The master highlight icon allows users to undo-last, clear-all, and edit a highlight sequence set or convert to a retained filter.
