Highcharter - Deselect variables in the legend in the code On Rstudio

I'm currently working on a database with lots of variables, the problem is that it's horrible in a graphic. But with highcharter, I founded that I can click in the legend to select/deselect a variable. The problem is that I don't found anything to do this directly with R code.

I don't want to hide it totally in the legend like it can be done with showInLegend or hideInLegend.

Solution

  • Finally, I used the javascript code :

    jsCode <- JS("function(event) {
if (!this.visible )
return true;

var seriesIndex = this.index;
var series = this.chart.series;

for (var i = 0; i < series.length; i++)
{
if (series[i].index != seriesIndex)
{
series[i].visible ? series[i].hide() : series[i].show();
} 
}
return false;
}")

    To use it on your highcharts graphics, add : 

      hc_plotOptions(series = list(events = list(legendItemClick = jsCode)))
