Hi, I do not think this is possible. Unless anyone has some hack.

The simplest way is to display a custom message instead. Or display all data (add a description that suggests to mark data from the master visual).

thanks,

As Tejas mentioned, there is no out-of-the-box feature for this (sounds like a great idea for the TIBCO Ideas Portal: https://ideas.tibco.com/ideas - I have not found any existing idea for this yet but "Need ability to show or hide visualization based on button click (API Availability)" (https://ideas.tibco.com/ideas/TS-I-6672) is somewhat related).

You could of course build a custom solution for this, e.g. using the Custom DateTime data function (https://community.spotfire.com/s/article/Custom-DateTime-Data-Function-for-TIBCO-Spotfire) to run an IronPython script when the marking changes, that then controls your visualizations. You could then make that as complicated as you want, but one simple example of that could be just having the master visualization maximized when there is no marking, and restored to regular size, also showing the details plot, if there is a marking - see https://community.spotfire.com/s/article/How-to-maximize-restore-a-visualization-using-IronPython-in-TIBCO-Spotfire  

I know that the TIBCO Partner EPAM has a number of nice extensions for Spotfire that show/hide information when needed - e.g. see https://www.tibco.com/resources/demand-webinar/epam-systems-visualization-suite-tibco-spotfire - so if that looks interesting, you might also want to reach out to them.
