Creating disconnected XY line charts

Hi, I'm trying to crete an XYSeries chart that has disconnected points as well as connected points. I thought I might do this by making a XYSeriesCollection and then adding as many XYSeries to it as I needed. That way I could have a bunch of disconnected lines but have them still belong to one piece of data. I thought this might be a problem though because the legend at the bottom would list each series that I added to the whole collection, when I would really just want it to list one name to represent all of the series. Is there a way to either add a disconnected point to an XYSeries, or to not display an XYSeries title in the legend?

figured it out if anyone is interested. It's an easy solution, just had to look over the API a little more carefully. You can add gaps in your xy line charts by just adding a point with a null y value where you want your gap to be.

thanks a lot. i was just trying to make something like in YIntervalDemo, but this way it is a LOT easier than writing my own IntervalDataset, because i can use a series which is more easy to update if datachanges happen.
