in each of the plots. This is accomplished by highlighting these points in some fashion. For example, the highlighted points could be drawn as a filled circle while the remaining points could be drawn as unfilled circles. A typical application of this would be to show how an outlier shows up in each of the individual pairwise plots. Brushing extends this concept a bit further. In brushing, the points to be highlighted are interactively selected by a mouse and the scatterplot matrix is dynamically updated (ideally in real time). That is, we can select a rectangular region of points in one plot and see how those points are
reflected in the other plots.
Brushing means interactively selecting a subset of the data items with an input device. This is usually done to highlight this subset, to delete it from the view or to de-emphasize it, if the user wants to focus on the other items.
Brushing is most useful in connection with linking. For instance when working on a scatterplot matrix, the user could brush some points in one plot. This causes the brushing–effect to be applied to the corresponding points in other plots.
