License
RGraph can be used for free under the GPL or if
that doesn't suit your situation there's an
inexpensive (£129) commercial license available.How to make your line clickable
Here's an example of a Line chart with a key - but instead of the key itself being interactive you can click on the lines to then highlight them and the relevant key entry.
Previously a fair amount of custom code was used to add the highlight but that code has now been incorporated into the Line chart library so you now just have to add a single configuration property to your code.
There's a demo page included in the download archive that demonstrates this to the full called line-tooltips-dataset.html
The code for the chart is shown below.
