Hi all. It's been a year since my last question and this one seems like an 
interesting problem.

First to give you some background, I'm making a stats page for a game. The game 
consists of three rounds and each round consists of five clicks. Each click can 
either add or subtract points from your score. So after each round I'd like to 
show a line chart to plot out the value of the users' points (y axis) against 
each click (x axis). Since the second round starts with the points from the 
first and the third from the second, the graph of the entire game (all three 
rounds) is continuous.

In order to graphically distinguish which clicks came from a certain round, I 
would really like to have the line be broken up into three colored segments.

I couldn't find a good solution so I tried to hack my own by simply drawing 
three individual segments head to tail. However, this doesn't work for two 
reasons: the line needs to be continuous and it needs to show data tips. The 
three segments at a glance appear to be continuous, but I set the line to be 
"curved" so it's smooth. Back-to-back lines don't curve corners and all of a 
sudden a smooth line has a sharp angle. Secondly, since the ending point of the 
first or second round is the starting point of the next round, hovering over 
that point on the chart displays two data tips; one for each round (displaying 
the same point values).


Does anyone know of anything built in to simply say "starting at x-value X 
change line color to #xxxxxx"?


Thanks!
