Graph tip - Make a graph with a discontinuous line

This example shows how create a graph with a discontinuous line.

How to do it:

Make an XY graph but use a separate data set for each line segment on your graph.

By default, Prism will assign a different symbol and line color to each data set but this is easy to change.

Double-click on a data point to open the format graph dialog. In the Data Set dropdown menu, choose "--- Change ALL data sets ---" or select "Change All Data Sets" in the Global dropdown menu. Then, when you choose new properties for the symbols (including color, shape, or size) and connecting lines (including color, thickness, style, or pattern) these properties will be applied to all groups.

The result is a graph that looks like it contains a single discontinuous line
