Description

**mapbox-gl-js version**: 1.7.0
**mapbox-gl-draw version**: 1.0.9

I suppose there is no API to hide/show individual tools (linestring, point, polygon) drawn on the map. In my web application, i display a list of the tools added to the map. From the list, the user can select a tool and hide (not delete) it from the map and then show it back. A hide/show API would be handy.

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the existing feature-management and visibility behavior in the draw implementation, then review related tests before deciding how individual line, point, and polygon features should be addressed. Done means a documented API can hide and restore an individual feature without deleting it, with coverage for each requested geometry type.
