On the powerchart in perspective, is there a way to ignore bad quality data so that there are no gaps on the trend? If I set the pen display type to line, there is a breakLine property that works, however, I don't see this option for an area type or a radius type.

Hello alainia,

Currently the line pen display type is the only type that has this "breakLine" option for bad data. If you would like to see a similar feature to create gaps for bad data with the other pen display types then I would suggest putting in a feature request on the [ideas](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/ignition-features-and-ideas) page.

Has this been requested ? I couldn't find it but would definitely be useful as an option for the chart.
