DV
31 <p>By using the connectSeparated attribute, it's possible to display a chart of several time series with completely independent x-values.</p>
32
33 <p>The trick is to specify values for the series at the union of the x-values of all series. For one series' x values, specify <code>null</code> for each of the other series.</p>

36 <p>For example, say you had two series:</p>
37 <table><tr>
38 <td valign=top>
39 <table>
40 <table class=thinborder>
41 <tr><th>x</th><th>A</th></tr>
42 <tr><td>2</td><td>2</td></tr>
c6a0ebba
DV
43 <tr><td>4</td><td>6</td></tr>
44 <tr><td>6</td><td>4</td></tr>
75c589da
DV
45 </table>
46 </td>
47 <td valign=top style="padding-left:25px;">
48 <table class=thinborder>
49 <tr><th>x</th><th>B</th></tr>
50 <tr><td>1</td><td>3</td></tr>
c6a0ebba
DV
51 <tr><td>3</td><td>7</td></tr>
52 <tr><td>5</td><td>5</td></tr>
75c589da
DV
53 </table>
54 </td>
55 </tr></table>
56
57 <p>Then you would specify the following CSV or native data:</p>

100 <h3>Encoding a gap</h3>
101 <p>There's one extra wrinkle. What if one of the series has a missing
102 value, i.e. what if your series are something like </p>

127 <p>The gap would normally be encoded as a null, or missing value. But when you use <code>connectSeparatedPoints</code>, that has a special meaning. Instead, you have to use <code>NaN</code>. This is a bit of a hack, but it gets the job done.</p>

205 <p>Both graphs have no value at the right edge of the panel (x=3). The lines that are drawn to the right edge are determined by their respective next valid value outside the visible area.
206 Therefore it is neither necessary that the next valid values are on the same point nor that they have the same index (index 4 for the green line and index 8 for the blue line).</p>
207 <p>Use double click to unzoom and see the currently invisible points</p>
