這個例子演示了各種方法來表現(xiàn)缺失的數(shù)據(jù)點，這也表明在繪圖區(qū)的ChartDirector會自動調(diào)整大小以適合圖表。如下圖所示：

在ChartDirector中，一系列的數(shù)據(jù)可能會存在丟失的情況，多使用NoValue來預(yù)定義常量。在一個線層里，在默認(rèn)的情況下面，缺失值表示在該行的差距。換句話說，就是該線路將被打斷。LineLayer.setGapColor被用來配置的線層加入通過NoValue點，使用的線段可以是具有不同的顏色或風(fēng)格。

這個例子中，三個數(shù)據(jù)系列都包含NoValue點。紅線表示了使用差距的默認(rèn)行為來表現(xiàn)NoValue點。綠線演示了如何使用虛線加入通過NoValue點。橙色線表明使用具有相同的線條樣式來參加正常的數(shù)據(jù)點加入通過NoValue點。

在整個圖表配置完成之后呢，XYChart.packPlotArea方法將會被用來適應(yīng)在給定的邊界框力的小區(qū)面積和軸。
