 Dont want gaps in linecharts |

Hello,
I am plotting a line chart over a time based x axis. I have various jobs with start and end dates. Each job updates data on a different weekly cycle. Some once a week on any given day, some jobs can be semi weekly. For my x axis I have picked the earliest start date and latest end date for the job set and have set as labels every day in between. I want to plot the data each job updates weekly. Since each job dataset will start appearing on different dates, I have passed 'NoValue' to any date for which there is no data. This gives me equal size datasets that I can plot on my chart and have the data line up correctly with the X-axis label. However my problem is that I have gaps in each data set for the days that a certain job didn't. Is there a way I can tell chart director to simply connect each node in a data set with a line instead of leaving gaps for "NoValue'? Thank you. |

Hi Rob,
Yes. By default, ChartDirector connects the gaps with a line of transparent color. You can change it to any color you like, such as using the same color as the original line. For example, in VB/VBScript, it is like:
Set layer = c.addLineLayer(...............)
'set the gap color to the same color as the line
Call layer.setGapColor(cd.SameAsMainColor)
Hope this can help.
