Data Selection : Parameters used to select data in all visualizations

# selectedDataPoints
Variable / Sample names of data points (in the data object) to initially select
Type: array
Default: []
Used in: Area, AreaLine, Bar, BarLine, Boxplot, Bubble, Bullet, Chord, Circular, Contour, Correlation, Density, DotLine, Dotplot, Dumbbell, Fish, Gantt, Genome, Heatmap, Histogram, Line, Lollipop, Map, Meter, Network, Oncoprint, OptionsWall, ParallelCoordinates, Pie, Radar, SPLOM, Sankey, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Stacked, StackedLine, StackedPercent, StackedPercentLine, Streamgraph, Sunburst, TagCloud, Tree, Treemap, Venn, Violin, Waterfall

selectedDataPoints : ["Row01", "Row03"]


# selectionColor
Color for the DEPRECATED (use highlightColor): color for selected data points when selectionMode is "highlight"; inherits highlightColor when not set
Type: color
Default: false
Used in: Area, AreaLine, Bar, BarLine, Boxplot, Bubble, Bullet, Chord, Circular, Contour, Correlation, Density, DotLine, Dotplot, Dumbbell, Fish, Gantt, Genome, Heatmap, Histogram, Line, Lollipop, Map, Meter, Network, Oncoprint, OptionsWall, ParallelCoordinates, Pie, Radar, SPLOM, Sankey, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Stacked, StackedLine, StackedPercent, StackedPercentLine, Streamgraph, Sunburst, TagCloud, Tree, Treemap, Venn, Violin, Waterfall

selectionColor : "#FF0000"

selectionColor : "#0000FF"


# selectionMetadata
Metadata (or factor) to use to display selected data points instead of the variable name. This metadata has to be in the data.z object. This property is only valid when the selectionMode is name and the visualization is a Scatter plot
Type: string
Default:
Options: False
Used in: Area, AreaLine, Bar, BarLine, Boxplot, Bubble, Bullet, Chord, Circular, Contour, Correlation, Density, DotLine, Dotplot, Dumbbell, Fish, Gantt, Genome, Heatmap, Histogram, Line, Lollipop, Map, Meter, Network, Oncoprint, OptionsWall, ParallelCoordinates, Pie, Radar, SPLOM, Sankey, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Stacked, StackedLine, StackedPercent, StackedPercentLine, Streamgraph, Sunburst, TagCloud, Tree, Treemap, Venn, Violin, Waterfall

selectionMetadata : false

selectionMetadata : "Group"


# selectionMode
Mode used to render selected data points. Shares highlight / ghost / focus with highlightMode and adds two selection-only modes. "highlight" recolors the selection; "ghost" fades the non-selected marks; "focus" recolors the non-selected marks to grey and keeps the selection in color (the storytelling focus technique, identical to highlightMode "focus"); "name" labels the selection; "filter" keeps only the selection
Type: string
Default: highlight
Options: highlight, ghost, focus, name, filter
Used in: Area, AreaLine, Bar, BarLine, Boxplot, Bubble, Bullet, Chord, Circular, Contour, Correlation, Density, DotLine, Dotplot, Dumbbell, Fish, Gantt, Genome, Heatmap, Histogram, Line, Lollipop, Map, Meter, Network, Oncoprint, OptionsWall, ParallelCoordinates, Pie, Radar, SPLOM, Sankey, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Stacked, StackedLine, StackedPercent, StackedPercentLine, Streamgraph, Sunburst, TagCloud, Tree, Treemap, Venn, Violin, Waterfall

selectionMode : "highlight"

selectionMode : "ghost"

selectionMode : "filter"
