| 75c589da 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> | |
| 34 | ||
| c6a0ebba | 35 | <div id="graph" style="float: right; margin-right: 50px; width: 400px; height: 300px;"></div> |
| 75c589da DV |
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> | |
| 58 | <table><tr> | |
| 59 | <td valign=top> | |
| 60 | (CSV) | |
| 61 | <pre>X,A,B | |

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> | |

103 | |
| 104 | <table><tr> | |

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> |
