Question

I want to be able to hide and show categories on a stacked column chart. So I’ve got something like this:

|  :             :
|  \         :   :   
|  \    :    :   :
|  \    \    :   \
|  \    \    \   \   : 
------------------------
   A    B    C   D   E

A chart with two series (\ and :) and five categories. I know how to toggle either \ or :, but how do I toggle A or B or C or D or E? In my experiments so far, the only thing I’ve come up with is redrawing the whole chart and leaving out any categories that I want hidden. Is there another option?

Answer 1

To my knowledge, there isn’t a built-in way to do this. It’s worth posting this question on the Highcharts forum if you haven’t already. I had a somewhat similar problem where I wanted to have different views of the x-axis which was dates without having to make people use the built-in zoom via mouse tool. I ended up making a toggle button on the page which redraws the graph.
