Question

In a scatter HighCharts plot, I want to set some properties only for some data points of my series. Here is a toy example:

$(function () {
    var chart;
    $(document).ready(function() {
        chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
            chart: {
                renderTo: 'container'
            },
            series: [{
                type: 'line',
              data: [[1,1],
                     {x:3,y:2,marker:{enabled:false}},
            [4,1]]
            }]
        });
    });
});

I need (in decreasing order of priority) the second point to NOT have:

1. the marker (already done in my code, working);
2. the tooltip (tried but without success, I don’t know how to do it working)
3. the line coming from previous point (tried but without success, I don’t know
   how to do it working)

Here is a jfiddle version.

For your second point, improvised from a similar answer:

Disable tooltip on certain points in Highcharts

tooltip: {
    formatter: function() {
        if (this.point.x != 1) { //enable for each point except the second point
            return this.x;
        }
        else return false;
    }
}

for your third point you might try to use a trick. If you set the y value as null, that point won’t be displayed in the line. So draw your line, and enter two data with null y values to create a lonely point on the chart.
