Ability to turn off plots in graphs
Description
Some plots make it hard to see others because of the scale. For example if there is 4 tb total storage and 10-20 gb used storage, then you can't see how storage is filling over time, because it looks like a straight line near the zero. Another example is locked collateral vs risked collateral. Ideally you would have two different scales both sides, but it gets complex when you have more than two graphs. Turning off graphs should be the easiest fix. if you want to have a look at contract used storage you can turn off total storage.

Not having that is not the end of the world. It's just a nice thing to have.
I just want to add some thoughts about the Revenue graph. It is supposed to show how much you earn from hosting. However it adds potential to the actual earning and this way neither can be seen separately. If you want to look potential you would turn off earned graph because it's counted twice - once at registering potential, second time on contract end. This one is important - potential shows what's happening now (for example if rising the prices caused sudden drop of traffic). You don't want to find out after two months that change in price reduced the traffic by 90% If you want to only look at actual income, then potential is polluting the graph.
On average this graph shows double the earned coins, but you can't just divide by two - you might be having a bad day, week, month, but the earned potential are 1 to 8 weeks apart usually. I don't have node older than two months, but what I imagine would happen is there would be as many potential as earned, just not spread evenly.
Switching to non-stack view also doesn't give you overview of total income, just the ratio of download vs upload vs storage vs other.
IMHO these to do not belong together. Possible fixes:
- add a switch to show potential or earned.
- split those to two graphs.
- implement hide/show for each line/value as in the feature request above.
Currently, actual earnings are subtracted from potential as if they were from the same period, but they are not—actual earnings reflect past activity, while potential reflect current performance. This makes it difficult to assess the host’s present state or recent changes. Showing both as independent lines or graphs would give a clearer picture: actual income shows what you’ve earned; potential shows how you’re doing right now.
