Highcharts Pie Chart Label Threshold

Question

Is there a preferred way to eliminate or aggregate labels below a certain threshold when using HighCharts pie chart? I'd rather not have to rollup all values below a certain percentage into 'other' if I can. I've checked the docs and can't find anything. It would be very useful!

Thanks in anticipation.

The best way to achieve this is to use dataLabels formatter for pie chart like this:

plotOptions: {
    pie: {
        dataLabels: {
            formatter: function(){
                if (this.percentage < SOME_VALUE) return "";

                return VALUE_TO_SHOW;
            }
        }
    }
}

Replace SOME_VALUE and VALUE_TOSHOW with desired values. But there will be some problems if you're using connector for you labels (it is always visible).
