Disable series through configuration in highcharts

Question

I have a line chart with several series. When viewed all at once the chart is confusing, so I would like to have certain series hidden initially.

I know I can programmatically turn off series, but is there a way to do this when initializing the chart?

Answer 1

Believe there is a configuration option for this.

Within Series, set "visible = false"

The legend will still list the series but greyed out. And the series itself will be hidden in the chart upon initial display.

Example configuration:

series: [{
            name: 'HiddenByDefault',
            legendIndex: 1,
            visible: false,
            color: '#4572A7',
            type: 'spline',
            data: [a, b, c],
            tooltip: {
                valueSuffix: ' ¥'
            }

        }
