ChartDirector 7.1 (.NET Edition)

Missing Data Points




This example demonstrates various methods to representing missing data points. It also demonstrates automatic resizing of the plot area to fit the chart.

In ChartDirector, a data series may contain missing values, represented using the NoValue predefined constant. In a line layer, by default, a missing value is represented as a gap in the line. In other words, the line will be broken. LineLayer.setGapColor can be used to configure the line layer to join through the NoValue point instead, using a line segment that can be of a different color and/or style.

In this example, the three data series all contain NoValue points. The red line demonstrates the default behaviour of using a gap to representing the NoValue point. The green line demonstrates joining through the NoValue point with a dash line. The orange line demonstrates joining through the NoValue point with the same line style as for joining normal data points.

After the entire chart is configured, the XYChart.packPlotArea method is used to adjust the plot area size, so as to fit the plot area and the axes in a given bounding box.
