Hi, I’ve got this [multiline chart draft](https://observablehq.com/d/76b11939f46dda27) with several data. It would be great to select which lines will going to be displayed in order to have a clearer chart, but I don’t know how to do it. Thanks for your time! ---

[Here an example of how to do this](https://observablehq.com/d/0e9a53d06603bdbf). I created checkboxes for the different lines and then filtered the data based on which checkboxes are selected. If you want to get fancier, you could combine the legend and the checkboxes. ---

Lot of thanks. It works as expected!
