  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
  67 2,2,
  68 3,,7
  69 4,6,
  70 5,,5
  71 6,4,</pre>
  72     </td>
  73     <td valign=top style="padding-left: 25px;">
  74     (native)
  75     <pre>[
  76 [1, null, 3],
  77 [2, 2, null],
  78 [3, null, 7],
  79 [4, 6, null],
  80 [5, null, 5],
  81 [6, 4, null] ]</pre>
  82     </td>
  83     </tr></table>
  84
  85     <script type="text/javascript">
  86     var g1 = new Dygraph(
  87       document.getElementById("graph"),
  88       [
  89         [1, null, 3],
  90         [2, 2, null],
  91         [3, null, 7],
  92         [4, 5, null],
  93         [5, null, 5],
  94         [6, 3, null]
  95       ],
  96       {
  97         labels: ["x", "A", "B" ],
  98         connectSeparatedPoints: true,
  99         drawPoints: true
 100       }
 101     );
 102     </script>
 103
 104     <h3>Encoding a gap</h3>
 105     <p>There's one extra wrinkle. What if one of the series has a missing
 106     value, i.e. what if your series are something like </p>
 107
 108     <table><tr>
 109     <td valign=top>
 110     <table>
 111       <table class=thinborder>
 112         <tr><th>x</th><th>A</th></tr>
 113         <tr><td>2</td><td>2</td></tr>
 114         <tr><td>4</td><td>4</td></tr>
 115         <tr><td>6</td><td>(gap)</td></tr>
 116         <tr><td>8</td><td>8</td></tr>
 117         <tr><td>10</td><td>10</td></tr>
 118       </table>
 119     </td>
 120     <td valign=top style="padding-left:25px;">
 121       <table class=thinborder>
 122         <tr><th>x</th><th>B</th></tr>
 123         <tr><td>1</td><td>3</td></tr>
 124         <tr><td>3</td><td>5</td></tr>
 125         <tr><td>5</td><td>7</td></tr>
 126       </table>
 127     </td>
 128     </tr></table>
 129
 130     <div id="graph2" style="float: right; margin-right: 50px; width: 400px; height: 300px;"></div>
 131     <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>
