HighCharts Hide Series Name from the Legend

Question 1

I try to solve this problem several times and give up. Now, when I have met him again, I decided to ask for some help.

I have this code for my Legend:

legend:{    layout: 'vertical',    align: 'right',    verticalAlign: 'top',    x: -10,    y: 100,    borderWidth: 0,                labelFormatter: function()     {        if(this.name!='Series 1')        {            return this.name;        }        else        {            return 'Legend';        }    }}

If I change the return from 'Legend' to '' the text is not shown but still there is a 'dash' on the top of the legend. If I do not use label formater function I have 'Series 1' + 'dash' like a first row in my legend. How to hide them?

Please, note my version is : Highcharts-2.0.5

This is a simple view of my legend and the dash I want to remove:

Question 2

If you don't want to show the series names in the legend you can disable them by settingshowInLegend:false.

example:

series: [{   showInLegend: false,                name: "<b><?php echo $title; ?></b>",   data: [<?php echo $yaxis; ?>],}]

You get other options here.

Question 3

using "showInLegend: false" really fixed my problem. I wonder if this options only hides the series name, because the legend is still displaying the data (as I want).

Question 4

Assuming if these options are enabled then it'll give a clear view, so they're enabled by default. if don't need them remove it. that's what you've done here.

Question 5

Set showInLegend to false.

series: [{            showInLegend: false,            name: 'Series',            data: value                        }]

Question 6

showInLegend is aseries-specific option that can hide the series from the legend. If the requirement is to hide the legends completely then it is better to useenabled: false property as shown below:

legend: { enabled: false }

Question 7

Looks like HighChart 2.2.0 has resolved this issue. I tried ithere with the same code you have, and the first series is hidden now. Could you try it with HighChart 2.2.0?

Question 8

Replace return 'Legend' by return ''
