Deselecting portion of contour plot

[#1]

I've accidentally clicked a portion of a contour plot and the text is bolded with the box having stripes across it. How do I deselect this portion of the contour plot? Right clicking to Deselect didn't seem to do anything, and the annoying thing is that when I try to copy the graph as a graphic, the image shows the highlighted/selected box with the bolded text and the striped box.

Several different platforms support contours of different types.  Can you provide an example and also which platform and version of JMP you are using?

It is JMP 15 and I mistakenly said a contour map when I meant a heatmap! Very sorry for the confusion!

In most places where selection is supported, shift-click will extend selection (select more items without deselecting the old) and ctrl-click (command-click on Mac) will toggle the selection of the clicked item.

In the data table, you can also clear row selection or column selection by clicking in the areas shown:

Welcome to the community.  Not sure this will work but here. WAG...If you look at your data table are there certain rows that are highlighted?  (From your selecting a portion of the heat map). If so try: Rows>Clear Row States
