Hide null bars in a Range Bar

[InnisMaggiore]

How can I hide bars and the space taken up by the bars if their values are null? In the chart shown in the following dojo Product Line 2 and Product Line 3 would be the same height and Product Line 1 would be twice their height.

Hi Joe,

I am not quite sure if I understand correctly what the expected outcome is. Could you please elaborate a bit more on the exact scenario you are trying to implement - this way I would be able to advise you further and provide concrete recommendations? Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Sure. I'm trying to show ranges of product start and end dates within categories. Not every product exists for every category. When a product does not exist for a category the chart still makes space for this product. This causes holes in the report as seen in the dojo. I would like to remove these holes. 

If the item in the data array is null I would like no space to be taken for that item.

Hi Joe,

Thank you for the provided details. I am afraid that the described scenario is not supported by Kendo UI Chart - all categories (Product Line 1, Product Line 2, Product Line 3) will be equally high. What I could suggest as a workaround is to set seriesDefaults.spacing -1 and visually "stack" the series:

Thank you. Unfortunately the stacking suggestion is not appropriate for my goals.
