How can I hide zero-value columns?

[stewx]

I have a stacked column chart and I want to hide any columns where all the stacked values are = 0 because they display as blank space with an X axis label underneath. These empty columns take up space on the X axis of my chart. How can I hide the columns where the value is 0?

For example, with this JSFiddle example, consumption of Apples is 0, so I would like to hide it completely. Likewise, if I click on the legend so that John and Jane's data are hidden from the chart, Oranges will also be 0 so it should also be hidden. http://jsfiddle.net/stewx/6p94pvvk/

Update: I have now written a function called updateChart() that re-processes all the series data and categories every time the legend is clicked. It would be really nice if HighCharts gave an option for this natively, but you can write the functionality yourself as well.

Would you mind providing the code you used for that? Thanks!
