This example shows how to customize display options for empty points of a line series view.
Cast the EmptyPointOptions property to the LineEmptyPointOptions type to access a line 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.
