Highcharts: how to make slices readjust when disabling one?

Question

Is this possible? I want the other slices in the pie chart to adjust to a full circle when one is disabled in the legend, rather than just making an empty slice..

If you change the behavior of the legendItemClick event handler you can remove the sector instead of hiding it.

    pie: {
         point: {
            events: {
                legendItemClick: function (eventArgs) {
                    this.remove(); // Remove the point
                    eventArgs.preventDefault(); // Prevent the default behavior
                }
            }
        },
        showInLegend: true
    }

This will only get you half the way though. The problem is that you cannot get the point back since it will be removed from the legend as well.

A way to get around this would be to add a reset button that brings back the original data set with series.setData(). See this jsfiddle example.
