Make datapoint null values not render or invisible

Question

How do I make it so that datapoints with a null value do not render in the chart?
I have a bar chart with multiple datasets, each dataset had only a few entries.
When I show the chart it is leaving a space for all of the datasets on each day having a space for each one that is null value.
I dont want to show this space from null value, I just dont want the chart to show that data on that point?
I have tried setting null, looking for ways to make the width zero for null entried or making the null entried not visible but cannot fid a eay to do this.
How do I do this?
Thanks

@ray,

Thanks for the suggestion. As of now, this feature is not inline with our current roadmap.

Ok thankyou, I'll deal with the issue of apple devices shortly.

Tell me is it possible for you to add some code to CanvasJS that detects if the series has an entry and if not it sets the width of the column to zero?

I'm talking about updating CanvasJS itself you could then add a method for people to select if they want to remove blank columns in the series

I really need the above column chart with no reserved spacing for series if there is no entry

Thanks

@ray,

You can add color to each dataPoint(i.e. bar or column) by using the color property.

Yes, we do support Apple devices. Can you please tell us more about the issue you are facing along with device, browser, and OS details?

Sorry, it's not possible to remove the reserved spacing as of now.

Also Would you have any js code snippet that could process the chart after or prior to render that could remove this reserved spacing from the chart?

Thanks

Ok, well this would be a handy feature to consider including in a future release, I need it so there are probably many others that would find it useful also.

Is there a way to individually enter a color value for each bar?

Also I am having issues with your chart displaying on apple devices like ipad iphone and mac pc, do you support these platforms?

Thanks
