data containing null breaks line

[mrdnote]

Version 2.0.2.

When I insert a null value in the data array, the chart line is broken. How do I omit horizontal values properly?

@mrdnote this is as designed.

I have the same issue. With 1.0 the point would be skipped, but the line/fill would be continous.
Is it possible to achieve the same result with 2.x?

I think that an option should be added that allows you to toggle whether the line is broken or not. I looked into this a little bit, but I could not determine where it decides to not draw the line when null.

@zachpanz88 its when the point._model.skip property is true. That property is set in the line controller, updateElement function

@etimberg May you provide any example how to override that property? The chart.js documentation does not provide any examples for that..

I looked into this a little bit, when I set it to always never skip (skip: false) the shading and line gets messed up. It goes from the last non-null point to the last point on the line. A solution will require more than just changing that property. Any other ideas for a fix?
