When you analyze your data, you have different ways of making selections. In a treemap you can either use click selection, draw selection, or lasso selection. To confirm a selection, click or outside the visualization. You can also press Enter. To cancel, click or press Esc.
Click selection
You can select treemap branches by clicking them, one at a time. To deselect a branch, click it.
Draw selection
You can draw one or more lines in the treemap to select branches. All branches that are touched by a line are selected, all others are dimmed. To deselect a branch, click it. When you want to make a draw or lasso selection, you must first turn on lasso selection by clicking at the top of the visualization. On a computer you can also press Shift and make the selection.
Lasso selection
In lasso selection, you can draw a lasso freehand to enclose an area. In a treemap you can make lasso selections, but in most cases it is easier to use draw selections to select more than one branch. When you want to make a draw or lasso selection, you must first turn on lasso selection by clicking at the top of the visualization. On a computer you can also press Shift and make the selection.
