title: connectNulls:false functionality with no data
body: <p>I have an area chart (and a percent-area chart) that uses timeseries data for the x-axis. The timeseries is missing some data points and I would like the functionality to be that of connectNulls:false.</p>
  
  <p>Is there another HighCharts option or a way to extend HighCharts to add an option for this functionality?</p>
  
  <p>I have looked at the docs and browsed the questions here on StackOverflow and Googled for it, but the solution that I have found is to use connectNulls:false and to insert NULL values for the missing data points, but inserting the missing data points with null values would be cumbersome in my situation and I would have to replicate it in a few places.</p>
  
  <p>I would imagine that it would be possible since in the instances that there is a missing data point, HighCharts will maintain the x-axis spacing. All I would want is addition to noticing the missing data point and inserting the appropriate spacing to also use a y-axis value of 0/inset a NULL/the equivalent.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you all for your time and assistance.</p>
