How to toggle on/off all plot lines or labels or things like bubbles?

I have a complex study that has different features, but I don't like the idea of having to manually toggle a bunch of things on/off such as the line thickness of all plot lines.

I've done a bunch of things to improve my study such as merging inputs to remove redundant inputs, and cleaning up the formatting of code so you could zip around in the source code to help one trouble shoot it.

This is the next step I would like to take before I update the thread that has my custom indicator.

if showClouds {
AddCloud(Highest_Upper_Band, Low_Upper_Band, Color.WHITE);
AddCloud(High_Low_Band, Lowest_Low_Band, Color.WHITE);
}

I made an indicator that lets me switch between showing either only the labels & many plot lines. I was hoping to also shut off the cloud through the UI instead of having to edit the source code every time I wanted to make the clouds disappear & reappear.

These examples should further your quest.
Whether plotting lines, clouds or bubbles, ShowStuff must be yes. When ShowStuff=no then nothing prints.

If you want to turn them off separately, make 3 inputs
ShowPlots, ShowBubbles, ShowWhatever

Ruby:
input ShowStuff = yes ;

plot pHighest_Upper_Band = if ShowStuff then Highest_Upper_Band else double.NaN;

AddChartBubble(ShowStuff and close>open, high, close, color.light_green);

    AddCloud(if(ShowStuff, Highest_Upper_Band, double.NaN), Low_Upper_Band, Color.WHITE);
    AddCloud(if(ShowStuff, High_Low_Band, double.NaN), Lowest_Low_Band, Color.WHITE);


FYI:
AddCloud(if(ShowStuff, Highest_Upper_Band, double.NaN
is a shortcut version of saying:
AddCloud(if ShowStuff then Highest_Upper_Band else double.NAN
Basically, in clouds, you only have to put the if statement in the cloud on any one element; if showstuff=no then the cloud does not print.
