NULL Datapoints

NULL Datapoints feature allows you to omit certain data points from being plotted on the chart by setting its value to NULL (1.79E+308).  All data points with a value of 1.79E+308 will not be displayed on the chart.  

To Enable Feature

You can use the built in SetNULLData method, along with Row and Column properties, to set a datapoint to NULL (see example 1).  You can also manually set a datapoint to NULL by setting Row, Column, and Data properties (see example 2).  Examples 1 and 2 are functionally identical.

Example 1

XYChartNETCtl1 is the name of the XY Chart NET control instance placed on the form.

With XYChartNETCtl1
   .NumProfiles = 3             'Set the number of profiles to plot to 3
   .Profile(0).NumSamples = 10  'Set the number of samples to 10
   .Profile(1).NumSamples = 10  'Set the number of samples to 10
   .Profile(2).NumSamples = 10  'Set the number of samples to 10

   .Column = 5                  'Set the column to 5, i.e. Y-data for Profile 2
   .Row = 2                     'Set row to 2, i.e. 3rd sample Y-data for Profile 2
   .SetNULLData()               'Set the data at (Row, Column) cell location to NULL
 
   .Refresh                     'Refresh required to update chart with changes made
