title: Show only some series in HighCharts spline chart
body: <p>I have a highchart with chart type as spline</p>
  
  <p>In this chart, I have about 36 series data, but the problem is that showing 36 series in one single chart is really difficult to understand and moreover almost all have almost similar data.</p>
  
  <p>My question is that how can we show only selected or pre-defined series instead of showing all series at once, which is done by default by highcharts.</p>
  
  <p>Also, I do not want to change my API which is fetching the JSON data, is there any way to do it from front end itself ?</p>
