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

XYChartCtrl.NumProfiles = 5       'Set the number of profiles to plot to 5
XYChartCtrl.NumSamples = 10       'Set the number of samples allowed to 10

XYChartCtrl.Column = 6            'Set the column to 6, i.e. Y-data for Profile 3
XYChartCtrl.Row = 3               'Set the row to 3, i.e. 3rd sample Y-data for Profile 3
XYChartCtrl.SetNULLData           'Set the data at (Row, Column) cell location to NULL

XYChartCtrl.Refresh               'Refresh required to update chart with changes made

Example 2

XYChartCtrl.NumProfiles = 5       'Set the number of profiles to plot to 5
XYChartCtrl.NumSamples = 10       'Set the number of samples allowed to 10

XYChartCtrl.Column = 6            'Set the column to 6, i.e. Y-data for Profile 3
XYChartCtrl.Row = 3               'Set the row to 3, i.e. 3rd sample Y-data for Profile 3
XYChartCtrl.Data = 1.79E+308      'Manually set the data at (Row, Column) cell location to NULL

XYChartCtrl.Refresh               'Refresh required to update chart with changes made
