A toggle button lets people switch between states or viewing options. In a visualization, it can reveal information, change how data is displayed, or conserve precious space. section 7.2.3
Choose a toggle when:
- Users need multiple ways to view the same data, such as Fahrenheit versus Celsius. section 7.2.3
- Space is tight, such as on a mobile device or inside an iframe, and not everything fits onscreen. section 7.2.3
- Avoid making people toggle for information they need quickly; executives and other time-poor users may not explore hidden controls. section 7.2.3
Three charts, two visible
When a small visualization has room for only two of three charts, show the most important charts first and use a toggle to control which additional chart appears. section 7.2.3
