29:null 2a:["$","title",null,{"children":"Let's Make a Brushable Line Chart | Stanford Visualization | Observable"}] 2f:T4a3,md` Brush is a useful way of allowing users to select a subset of the data. There are multiple ways of adding brush interactions to a chart. Here, we will look at two standard ways of doing it: (1) using the D3.js \`brush\`, and (2) making your own brush from elements such as \`rect\`s and \`path\`s. Generally speaking, D3 \`brush\` will do manage events and components for you, but will often make it difficult or impossible to make modifications. On the other hand, if you make your own brush out of elementary elements, you will be able to easily make modifications at the cost of having to manage all components and elements yourself. (Note: If you take the D3.js \`brush\` approach for Homework 3, the most difficult pieces will be (1) understanding D3.js \`brush\` well enough to be able to change the functionality to allow multi-brushes, and (2) bypassing the D3.js \`brush\`'s protection against modifying events (e.g, using keyboard events, adding additional elements, using separate buttons, etc.). If you take the \`rect\`s approach, the most difficult piece will be managing all elements and events on your own, which will be quite tricky to get correct and more code.) `30:T401,md` Just adding the brush unfortunately does not trigger any interaction with the data itself. We need to provide information about what should be done when a brush edit (i.e, drawing the selection, resizing, and moving) is started (usually triggered by clicking down, similar to \`mousedown\`), is in process (usually triggered when the mouse is moved while mouse is clicked), and is ended (usually triggered when click is released, similar to \`mouseup\`). These functions can be passed to our brush by: ~~~ js d3.brush() .on("start", /* function to run when the edit is started */) .on("brush", /* function to run during the edit */) .on("end", /* function to run when the edit is done */); ~~~ For example, consider the following function for highlighting all lines with a point within a selected region by reducing the opacity of all other lines. (Note: this is different from what we are asking for in Homework 3. In Homework 3, you should only pick lines that enter from the left and exit through the right.) `31:T841,md` Looking into the svg elements generated for the brush, we can see that the brush is really a combination of 10 \`rect\`s: one \`overlay\` \`rect\`, one \`selection\` \`rect\`, and eight \`handle\` \`rect\`s. ~~~ html ~~~ The functionality of each of these elements is:

_overlay_: The \`rect\` covering the entire brush region. When no selection is made, draggin within the overlay generates a new selection. When a selection is made, clicking on the overlay removes the selection.
_selection_: The \`rect\` for the selected region. Dragging this region moves the selection region.

(Note: The attributes, including the class names are automatically generated by D3 \`brush\`.) With this knowledge, we can modify the style and the functionality of the brush. First, as an example, and to further illustrate where each of these elements is, let us fill the \`overlay\` with \`firebrick\`, the \`selection\` with \`steelblue\`, and the \`handles\` \`gray\`. `32:T470,function addResizeCallback(rect, controlRect) { let initialMouseY; let initialRectY; let initialRectHeight; // Obtain the initial rectangle and mouse status function resizeStarted(event) { initialMouseY = event.y; initialRectY = +rect.attr("y"); initialRectHeight = +rect.attr("height"); } function resized(event) { let minY = /* Fill in */; // Compute the minimum value of y of the rect let maxY = /* Fill in */; // Compute the maximum value of y of the rect rect.attr("y", /* Fill in */) // set the new y of the rect .attr("height", /* Fill in */); // set the new height of the rect controlRect.attr("y", initialRectY + event.y - initialRectY - 3); // Set the new y of the control } // Always keep the top control on top function resizeEnded(event) { let minY = Math.min(initialRectY + event.y - initialMouseY, initialRectY + initialRectHeight); controlRect.attr("y", minY - 3); } // Attach callback to controlRect controlRect.call(d3.drag() .on("start", resizeStarted) .on("drag", resized) .on("end", resizeEnded)); }33:[{"id":"f60bc1efbd755b2e99864cf118a23a10b52254cffc635904e40d7e1b0ec2f922bbcb9375d17ee2fcfc5201c101d9bad5bf061620c6fefd9812771473a045c20d","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/f60bc1efbd755b2e99864cf118a23a10b52254cffc635904e40d7e1b0ec2f922bbcb9375d17ee2fcfc5201c101d9bad5bf061620c6fefd9812771473a045c20d","name":"untitled (1).png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1602442197770.432,"size":67573}] 2d:{"id":"26eb96c4777c2f33","slug":"lets-make-a-brushable-line-chart","title":"Let's Make a Brushable Line Chart","thumbnail":"d009628abbe8a6c92731c7b453789ec9034dc288c2ab6d83a007701b85333e91","access_level":"public","create_time":"$D2020-10-11T18:49:57.770Z","update_time":"$D2020-10-12T03:57:58.766Z","view_time":null,"first_public_time":"$D2020-10-11T20:32:33.809Z","has_unpublished_edits":null,"fork":true,"stars":4,"starred":false,"owner":{"type":"team","id":"064c943ba6a07292","login":"stanfordvis","name":"Stanford Visualization","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/2a4662d76ddc4e8af163f38a894b7dee483e6eee05971cfed3099a7294121cae","tier":"education_2026"},"version":868,"publish_version":868,"role":null,"authored":false,"authors":[{"type":"individual","id":"ce51f654714d175d","login":"dhkim16","name":"Dae Hyun Kim","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/2996fa22592d8f73bf7f7d6fef43139c9b489ef7c35523cf46175724b3ede496","tier":null}],"members":[{"type":"team","id":"064c943ba6a07292","login":"stanfordvis","name":"Stanford Visualization","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/2a4662d76ddc4e8af163f38a894b7dee483e6eee05971cfed3099a7294121cae","tier":"education_2026","role":"editor"},{"type":"individual","id":"ce51f654714d175d","login":"dhkim16","name":"Dae Hyun Kim","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/2996fa22592d8f73bf7f7d6fef43139c9b489ef7c35523cf46175724b3ede496","tier":null,"role":"viewer"}],"comments":[],"custom_thumbnail":false,"trashed":false,"lapsed":null,"subscribed":null,"forks":26,"collection":null,"type":"notebook","body":{"title":"Let's Make a Brushable Line Chart","cells":[{"id":0,"value":"md`# Let's Make a Brushable Line Chart`","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":5,"value":"md`\nIn this notebook, we will make a brushable line chart using D3.
