On my web page i'm displaying 5 different line charts with a zoomable X axis. Each chart also has a number of series that are the same for all the charts.
Im looking for the the controls where you can show/hide a series and zoom feature to happen within each graph no matter which graphs controls I change.
Is this something Highcharts support?

Reset to default 6Please familiar with example which synchronizes three charts and have unzoom button.

There are two possible solutions:
The easiest option would be to show/hide and zoom with extra buttons. So you would add some buttons to your page and execute a function like:
//Edit made a mistake selecting the chart:
You should create your chart and add it to the Array when you are creating it. For example:
var charts = new Array();
var chart = new Highcharts.StockChart(opts);
charts.push(chart);
Then for the function:
//Set xAxis extremes (zoom)
for (var i = 0; i < charts.length; i++) {
charts[i].xAxis[0].setExtremes(startDate, endDate);
}
to change the zoom. Showing and hiding of a series is also pretty simple:
Highstock Options Reference
So you could just call charts[i].series[0].hide(); to hide the first Series
Another possibility would be to use the Highcharts events to start a similar function when a user clicks on the chart.
For example on the legend: Highstock Options Reference
And for the Zoom:
xAxis : {
events : {
afterSetExtremes : afterSetExtremes
},
},
