Show/hide lines/data in Google Chart

To get your required output check this code.

        google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, 'select', function () {
            var sel = chart.getSelection();
            // if selection length is 0, we deselected an element
            if (sel.length > 0) {
                // if row is null, we clicked on the legend
                if (sel[0].row == null) {
                    var col = sel[0].column;
                    if (columns[col] == col) {
                        // hide the data series
                        columns[col] = {
                            label: data.getColumnLabel(col),
                            type: data.getColumnType(col),
                            calc: function () {
                                return null;
                            }
                        };

                        // grey out the legend entry
                        series[col - 1].color = '#CCCCCC';
                    }
                    else {
                        // show the data series
                        columns[col] = col;
                        series[col - 1].color = null;
                    }
                    var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
                    view.setColumns(columns);
                    chart.draw(view, options);
                }
            }
        });

Instead of having check box use the legend to hide/show the lines.

Check this for the working sample: jqfaq.com


try this

Mark up:

 <body>
   <div id="chart_div" style="width: 900px; height: 500px;"></div>

   <button type="button" id="hideSales"  >Hide Sales</button>
   <button type="button" id="hideExpenses"  >Hide Expence</button>

 </body>

Script:

<script type="text/javascript">
  google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
  google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
  function drawChart() {
    var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
      ['Year', 'Sales', 'Expenses'],
      ['2004',  1000,      400],
      ['2005',  1170,      460],
      ['2006',  660,       1120],
      ['2007',  1030,      540]
    ]);
    var options = {
      title: 'Company Performance'
    };
    var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));

    chart.draw(data, options);


   var hideSal = document.getElementById("hideSales");
   hideSal.onclick = function()
   {
      view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
      view.hideColumns([1]); 
      chart.draw(view, options);
   }
   var hideExp = document.getElementById("hideExpenses");
   hideExp.onclick = function()
   {
      view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
      view.hideColumns([2]); 
      chart.draw(view, options);
   }


  }


</script>

Recently the behavior of the select event changed so Abinaya Selvaraju's answer needs a slight fix

if (typeof sel[0].row === 'undefined') {
    ...
}

becomes

if (sel[0].row == null) {
    ...
}
