Design the toggle button in Figma.
Figma is a user-friendly design platform which also provide free option to explore the tool.
Go to https://www.figma.com/ and start designing your custom buttons as per the requirements.

Using the toggle button in Tableau using shapes and parameter action
1. Go to Tableau repository and paste the toggle images in a shape folder.
2.Create a binomial parameter for chart and table switch
3.Simple dynamic zone calculation to switch the show as per parameter.
4.Assign shapes to concerned images by using the parameter calculation.
5.Create parameter action in the dashboard from the shapes sheet.

The toggle will work as expected and we can use the same for swap btween trend chart and tabular view.
