date with no data, invisible

[chrispo]

i got a question...

if i got data for 1.1.2012 an 3.1.2012, the chart shows the date 2.1.2012 with no data.
________ - no line - ________
1.1.2012, 2.1.2012, 3.1.2012

is it possible, to make dates with no data like 2.1.2012 invisible? so there is no gap in the chart?
________________
1.1.2012, 3.1.2012

thanks.

Could you show us your chart and its code?

Sorry for late reply. After reading your question one more time I realized what you meant. The answer is quite easy and I hope you already solved it on your own. But if anyone need this - it's possible since highstock 1.1.3 using gapSize (http://www.highcharts.com/stock/ref/#pl ... s--gapSize) and ordinal axes (http://www.highcharts.com/stock/ref/#xAxis--ordinal)
