Line Chart with Overlapping Data

[swarrenParticipant]

We’re having an interesting problem with a chart:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1wbdvvgkdn3q6px/Screenshot%202017-02-07%2015.35.53.png?dl=0

Several of the series have the same values for 4/16, 6/16, and 8/16 so while we only see the orange series it’s actually writting over the others. Does anyone know of a way to easily display this or lacking that is there a way to make a hover that displays the fact there are multiple data points represented there?

Hello swarren,

It looks those points has the same value for this particular moment.
Could you clarify this (do you have different data for each series that those don’t match)?

@hristo, they don’t have different data and they alternate between 0% and 100%. It’s just the way the data works out in this case. Other versions of this same report have degrees but occasionally we run into one of these.

Hello swarren,

Could you give more details what you want to achieve?
Also, if it possible to provide an example that demonstrates this scenario (this will be better to analyze the case).

@hristo,
Here is a toned down an example as I could come up with:

https://jsfiddle.net/p3ejgu2t/

See how the blue line is overwritten by the red line after “2”. This is the same problem we have but in this case we have 15 series.

In this example you can see how “6” over writes the blue line completely:

Hello swarren,

It is a normal behavior.
You could use “column” type to collect data with the same value at one point or you could change symbolSize. Please, take a look at this demo.
You should choose the suitable for you approach to represent the data. I will suggest you few examples below:
