I am having a scatter graph, which is having five legends. But I need to display only 2 remaining 3 will be disabled. It will be shown only if the user clicks on it. Is it possible?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply, Following is my code, now I am able to hide the group having the same name. (This works for me because the other traces are hidden trace which I have it to show uncertainty over the line as area chart) The original problem was, if i set legend only for one of the element in the group, it does not change the group. Where as, if I click one legend (show/hide) it applies to the whole group. I am not sure its a bug.

updateTrace: function(phase){
			var plotDiv = document.getElementById(container);
			var plotData = plotDiv.data;
			$.each(plotData, function(key, value){
				var visibilty = true;
				if (!new RegExp(phase.join("|")).test(value.name)) {
				    visibilty = 'legendonly';
				}
				plotDiv.data[key].visible = visibilty;
			})
			Plotly.redraw(plotDiv);
			// Plotly.restyle(container, update);
		},

That’s the intended behaviour. Here’s how the legend implement group toggling: plotly.js/src/components/legend/index.js at a66dc667e85e90f7ffb0fd933651910ac4656237 · plotly/plotly.js · GitHub

Thank you @etienne , I agree when we click on the legend it works correctly. I was saying if I change visibility of one element in a group via JS, it does not affect other element in the group. Thanks for all your help…:slight_smile:
