How to: Display Area Chart Empty Points

This example shows how to customize display options for empty points of an area series view.

This chart displays series with empty points.

Cast the AreaSeriesViewBase.EmptyPointOptions property to the AreaEmptyPointOptions type to access an area series’ empty point settings.

Specify the ProcessPoints property to define how the chart handles empty points. In this example, the chart calculates mock values for empty points.
