Empty Points

24 Feb 20228 minutes to read

The data points those uses the null or undefined as value are considered as empty points. The empty data points are ignored and not plotted in the chart. You can customize those points, using the EmptyPointSettings property in series. The default mode of the empty point is Gap. Other supported modes are Average and Zero.
