Brushing - Selecting multiple data points with the mouse
This would be a fantastic feature - the ability to select multiple data points by creating an enclosure using the mouse. e.g.Outliers could be selected in one movement and used filter other data in the app.

Selection of points within a rectangle can be done with the current API, though it needs a few lines of custom code:

I've updated http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/nsuA6/ with a working file reference.
For your problem with a large dataset, can you show us a live sample?

It seems to be broken on large dataset due to no series[0].data. Any suggestions?Thanks!

Nevermind. Just needed a JQuery framework update. Now if only I could get the selection to all drag at the same time....

This appears to be broken. I would love to see this working again. Thank you so much for you efforts with draggable points.

I think this works pretty well for scatter plots but seems to fail in column charts. Example (try dragging from 3rd point to 6th for instance):
Note: I've added plot lines on selection to see what is being returned in the selection event. yAxis seems fine.
