| 34 | <h3>Independent Series</h3> |
| 35 | <p>By using the connectSeparated attribute, it's possible to display a chart of several time series with completely independent x-values.</p> |
| 36 | |
| 37 | <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> |
| 38 | |
| 39 | <div id="graph" style="float: right; margin-right: 50px; width: 400px; height: 300px;"></div> |
| 40 | <p>For example, say you had two series:</p> |
| 41 | <table><tr> |
| 42 | <td valign=top> |
| 43 | <table> |
| 44 | <table class=thinborder> |
| 45 | <tr><th>x</th><th>A</th></tr> |
| 46 | <tr><td>2</td><td>2</td></tr> |
| 47 | <tr><td>4</td><td>6</td></tr> |
| 48 | <tr><td>6</td><td>4</td></tr> |
| 49 | </table> |
| 50 | </td> |
| 51 | <td valign=top style="padding-left:25px;"> |
| 52 | <table class=thinborder> |
| 53 | <tr><th>x</th><th>B</th></tr> |
| 54 | <tr><td>1</td><td>3</td></tr> |
| 55 | <tr><td>3</td><td>7</td></tr> |
| 56 | <tr><td>5</td><td>5</td></tr> |
| 57 | </table> |
| 58 | </td> |
| 59 | </tr></table> |
| 60 | |
| 61 | <p>Then you would specify the following CSV or native data:</p> |
| 62 | <table><tr> |
| 63 | <td valign=top> |
| 64 | (CSV) |
| 65 | <pre>X,A,B |
| 66 | 1,,3 |

| 79 | [4, 6, null], |
| 80 | [5, null, 5], |
| 81 | [6, 4, null] ]</pre> |
| 82 | </td> |
| 83 | </tr></table> |

| 104 | <h3>Behavior at the edges of the panel for independent series</h3> |
| 105 | <p> In case only a part of the whole data is visible (e.g. after zooming in) the lines are |
| 106 | drawn to the respective next valid point outside the visible area. </p> |

| 135 | <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. |
| 136 | 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> |
| 137 | <p>Use double click to unzoom and see the currently invisible points</p> |
