Creat List on a Plot to select multiple data sets

I want to make a graph with up to 10 data sets plotted on it. My idea is to have the figure with a list where the user can select multiple entries to plot by holding control and clicking what they want to see on the graph. I believe this can be done with an uicontrol... anyone know how?

Note: The data sets will each be line graphs.

There are multiple ways of handling this. One is to provide toggle buttons to select the active graphs. Another is to provide a uitable column that the user toggles on or off the entries of. A third way is to provide a uicontrol('style','list', 'Max', 2) : with the Max parameter set to something larger than 1, the user is permitted to select multiple entries.

How do you let the user toggle whether the entries in a table are on or off? Or if it's easier, how would you set up toggle buttons so that more than one answer can be chosen? When I use toggle buttons, it will only let me select one button at a time.

For uitable, set the ColumnFormat to 'logical'

For toggle buttons, just create a bunch of them, and do not put them inside a uibuttongroup.
