title: Selecting a point by ID using Highcharts
body: <p>Using Highcharts, how can I select a point using it's id? For example, if I create a chart using the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code> chart1 = new Highcharts.Chart({
           chart: {
              renderTo: 'container',
              type: 'scatter'
           },
           title: {
              text: 'Fruit Consumption'
           },
           xAxis: {
              categories: ['Apples', 'Bananas', 'Oranges']
           },
           yAxis: {
              title: {
                 text: 'Fruit eaten'
              }
           },
           series: [{
              name: 'Jane',
              data: [{
                  name: 'Point1',
                  x: 1,
                  y: 2
              }, {
                  name: 'Point2',
                  x: 2,
                  y: 5
              }]
           }, {
              name: 'John',
              data: [5, 7, 3]
           }]
        });
     });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The tooltip tells me that when I hover over a point, what the id is. However, I can't figure out the syntax to identify that point. I know that <code>chart1.series[0].name</code> returns <code>Jane. Also,</code>
  chart1.series[0].data[0].name<code>returns</code>point1` Is there an easy way that I can just select the point and change the color knowing only 'point1'?</p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering if there is a more efficient way other than looping through all of the points each time.</p>
