If the first breakpoint is at the end of a metric graph, the value of the breakpoint is the value of the previous point.įor example, if a metric graph has points a, b, c, d, and e, where a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4, and e = Null, the value of the first breakpoint (that is, point e) is 4.Because values are interpolated for breakpoints from left to right, the value of the second breakpoint (that is, point c) is (b + e)/2 = (3 + 5)/2 = 4, the value of the third breakpoint (that is, point d) is (c + e)/2 = (4 + 5)/2 = 4.5. Scenario 2: If the value of the previous point of the breakpoint is valid and the value of its next point is null, the value of the breakpoint is the average value of its previous point and the first valid data point from its next point to the right.įor example, if a metric graph has points a, b, c, d, and e, where a = 1, b = Null, c = Null, d = Null, and e = 5, the value of the first breakpoint (that is, point b) is (a + e)/2= (1 + 5)/2 = 3. Scenario 1: If the values of the previous and next points of the breakpoint are valid, the value of the breakpoint is the average value of these two points.įor example, if a metric graph has points a, b, c, d, and e, where a = 1, b = Null, c = 3, d = Null, and e = 5, the value of the first breakpoint (that is, point b) is (a + c)/2 = (1 + 3)/2 = 2. If the first breakpoint is in the middle of a metric graph, there are the following two scenarios:.If the first breakpoint is at the start of a metric graph, the value of the breakpoint is the first valid data point from its next point to the right.įor example, if a metric graph has points a, b, c, d, and e, where a = Null, b = Null, c = Null, d = Null, and e = 5, the value of the first breakpoint (that is, point a) is 5.This method can also be applied to other breakpoints. The following uses the first breakpoint in a graph as an example to describe the method of calculating the average value. When multiple breakpoints exist, values will be interpolated for these breakpoints from left to right.


The following describes how to calculate average values.Ī metric graph may have multiple breakpoints. If the value of Interpolation Mode is set to average, breakpoints will be represented by average values.
