chart.hide(datasetIndex, dataIndex) not hiding bar

[Offbeatmammal]

Expected behavior

per the docs, using chart.hide(0,3) should hide the third item in the first dataset

Current behavior

currently while chart.hide(0) correctly hides the dataset, chart.hide(0,3) seems to have no effect on a bar chart.

for a line chart it does remove the point, but doesn't reflow the line (still goes through the point)

Context

I may be missing the intent of this function (in which case this may be better as a feature request) but I would like to be able to (temporarily) toggle individual items in a dataset on/off (eg when showing a list of countries toggle to only show German speaking ones) without having to splice and restore the datapoints

This bug also exists exactly as described in newer chart.js version 4.4.1.
A fix would very much be appreciated.

If no one else is already, I will work on this issue.

I tried this but still does not hide the data. Am I missing something?

[alex-statsig]

Was this issue / fix covering the issue described in #11319 (the fact that the hidden bar still takes up space)? Or is this a different issue pertaining to chart.hide not hiding it at all? @LeeLenaleee

[LeeLenaleee]

This was a different issue that it did not hid at all.
