How to keep pie chart segments with toggled visibility from re-appearing on update?

[LaTtEX]

I have a pie chart wherein I want to persist the in/visibility pie chart segments whose visibility has been toggled using the legend.

The problem is that on update of data, the whole pie chart would redraw. I tried handling this by keeping track of the invisible series:

plotOptionsParam.setPointLegendItemClickEventHandler(new PointLegendItemClickEventHandler()
    {
    @Override
    public boolean onClick(final PointLegendItemClickEvent pointLegendItemClickEvent)
    {
            String pointName = pointLegendItemClickEvent.getPointName();

        if (invisibleSeries.contains(pointName))
        {
            invisibleSeries.remove(pointName);
            }
        else
        {
                invisibleSeries.add(pointName);
            }

            return true;
    }
    });

...where "invisbleSeries" is an ArrayList<string>.</string>

In my event updating the points I have the ff code:

for (String key : invisibleSeries) //has to be done after all points have been updated
{
    Point updatePoint = findPointWithName(series, key);

    if (updatePoint != null)
    {
    updatePoint.setOption("visible", false);
    }
}

Somehow the segment still stays visible after this.

I'm not sure this is the right way of doing this, so any help will be appreciated.
