Time Series Chart, gridlines & breaklines

Ignition
1

I’m trending data from OSI PI using the TimeSeriesChart. And its perfect because of the BreakLine option so it shows gaps when there is no data. That was critical as a visual that the data has gaps.

However, I can’t find a way to enable gridlines to make it easier to read.

If I use the XY Chart option I can get the gridlines but I can’t find an option like BreakLine.

Did I miss it? Is there a way to enable gridlines on a TimeSeriesChart or enable BreakLine on the XY Chart?

I’m running a Perspective project on Ignition 8.09.

-Thanks

So I thought I found something for the XY Chart under: series > line > appearance > connect.

However, setting it to false doesn’t do anything. The associated open x/y options also don’t seem to do anything. It says “Name of the field that holds the open data”, which I presume is the data source keys (in my case time & value).

Hope someone has gotten this to work and can share how they set it up.

-Thanks
