Use a selection frame to filter a data area in your chart
In two-dimensional charts, you can use a selection frame to filter the data range to be analyzed. This corresponds to filtering the dimension on the dimension values within the frame.
In top-flop charts and multiple charts, such as the multiple pie chart, the selection frame feature is not available.
In distribution and bubble charts, not only the values of the dimension axis, but also the values of the measure axis are transferred.
