Vulpes

I have a page set up where a user can create a graph according to various options they set on the page. Then they hit the submit button and code-behind generates XML to present the graph. However, there is a large pause in the process that is dependant on the PREVIOUS graph, not the one it is drawing. I have confirmed with timestamps that somewhere between the user clicking the button, and the code beginning to execute, there is a pause of exactly the same amount of time it would take to re-calculate the XML it is already using. Here's an example to clarify. Time Action 0 Page is already created, with a graph that took 20 seconds to generate. User clicks submit button for a different, much faster graph (say 5 seconds to generate) 20 First timestamp in code is reached. (20 seconds after button clicked, same 20 seconds as previous graph took to generate) 25 Graph is generated. 30 User submits a different graph (for example, one that takes 10 seconds to create). 35 First timestamp is reached (note, this is 5 seconds after clicking, and the last graph took 5 seconds to generate). 45 Second graph is generated. I'm not very good at explaining these things! I am not sure, in fact fairly doubtful, that this is a problem with FusionCharts. I suspect it is more to do with the way ASP processes large amounts of XML data on a postback event. However I'm hoping someone has run into the same issue and can help.

This looks like what I'm looking for, but does it work for multiseries graphs as well? The examples are all for single series.

I'm trying to graph performance of a number of managed funds, which are only priced on certain days, and those days vary. I have set up a graph with a category for each day in the timeframe I am looking at, but I need a way for certain datasets to not plot a point for certain categories. The line should just continue from the previous point to the next point. I have tried using showvalue='0' but that doesn't hide the point. I'm not sure what it does, if anything. The graph will not draw unless I set a value for every category. I've attached a picture of what the graph looks like. The points I want ignored at set at a value of 1. I want the line to just connect the points that are not equal to one. I hope I've made this clear enough. Restricting the number of values to only exactly the number of categories is a major disadvantage with this software and I hope there is some way around it. Note: this sample has each fund with data at the same point, so could be done with fewer categories to solve my problem. I realise that. However, this is not always the case, sometimes one fund will have data for different days to another.
