Available only when a Graph window is active. Choosing Editor > Brush puts the graph in brushing mode. Changing worksheet data pertinent to the graph and choosing any of the Editor > Update options takes the graph out of brushing mode. You cannot brush graphs in which:

·    Data are not represented with symbols

·    A symbol represents a single value in the worksheet

·    Points are based on a calculation involving more than one row, as in histograms, bar charts, boxplots, or pie charts

·    Worksheet data have changed and the graph has not been updated. Conversely, a brushing region is removed if worksheet data change.

When you brush points in one graph, Minitab automatically brushes points from the same row that appear in other graphs. This is true whether the graphs appear in the same Graph window or in other Graph windows. Brushing across graphs can help you quickly see visual relationships across many variables.
