D3.js line.defined() method

The d3.line.defined() method lets you specify whether there is data defined for a given data point or not. If this method returns false, this means that data point exists, else true.

Syntax:

d3.line.defined(data_point);

Parameters: 

  • data_point: data_point to be checked.

Return Value: This method returns a boolean value.

Example 1: In this example, we will omit some points using this method.
