11 Jan 20184 minutes to read

            <ej:Series> 
                 //Using empty points
                  <Points> 
                      <ej:Points X="0" Y="210" />
                      <ej:Points X="1" Y="60" IsEmpty="true"/>
                      <ej:Points X="2" Y="150" /> 
                      <ej:Points X="3" Y="180" IsEmpty="true"/>

                      <ej:Points X="5" Y="200"/>

EmptyPointSettings

You can customize the empty points visibility and change its DisplayMode (Gap, Zero and Average) using EmptyPointSettings option.

HTML

<ej:Chart ID="Chart1" runat="server"> 
        <Series> 
            <ej:Series> 
                 // visible the EmptyPointSettings width DisplayMode as Average
                 <EmptyPointSettings Visible="true" DisplayMode="Average"/>
         </ej:Series> 
     </Series> 
  </ej:Chart>

If the Visible property of EmptyPointSettings is false, then the empty points has been dropped and chart will be rendered without empty points.

Empty points color and border can be customized using Style property of EmptyPointSettings.

<ej:Chart ID="Chart1" runat="server"> 
        <Series> 
            <ej:Series> 
                <EmptyPointSettings Visible="true">             
                 <Style Color="Pink"> 
                    <Border Color="Gray" Width="2"/>
                 </Style>
               </EmptyPointSettings>
