Hi tomce,

One way to toggle on/off the plot appearance like in your sample, 
you can try to place text label buttons like in the following 
screenshot. To make such, you can: 

1) Make a dummy text label. Right-click it, and choose "Programming Control" flyout.
2) Enter the script, and change the first line to set the plot number.

  pn=1;           //this plot number
  layer.plot=pn;  //activate the plot
  get %C -s hsSW; //current ON/OFF status
  if(hsSW==1) {
    set %c -s 0; 
    this.text$=\l($(pn)) %($(pn)) OFF;
  }
  else {
    set %c -s 1; 
    this.text$=\l($(pn)) %($(pn)) ON;
  }

3) Set "Script, Run After" to "Button Up", and click OK.



Make this button as many as you need.

Once you make these buttons, change to "Button Edit Mode" (under Edit menu), 
you can group all buttons, and you can save the template. 
Anytime, you can open this template, and copy-and-paste the button group 
(in Button Edit Mode) to any other graphs, when you need.

Hi tomce,

> how to deal with buttons (group/ungroup, justification, position ...)

Once a label became a button, the click action is taken over by the button script. 
So, you need to switch the graph to Button Edit Mode ("Edit: Button Edit Mode" menu 
or CTRL+ALT+B). 
(If you only need to open the Programming Control dialog of a button, you can ALT+double-click.)

In Button Edit Mode, you can do the following by useing buttons in the Object Edit toolbar: 
  - Adjustment (Left/Right/Top/Bottom)
  - Move (to Front/Back between labels)
  - Move (to Front/Back between plot and label)
  - Group/Ungroup

You can use CTRL+click for multiple selection, and the first selected item leads the rest dominantly. 
Once you finish working, choose "Edit: Button Edit Mode" menu to toggle off the mode.
