Use discrete as plot scale type to skip weekend when plotting

This is useful for plotting stock price or other trading data where Saturday and Sunday should be ignored. Use Discrete as scale type preserves the continuity of the plotted data pointsthere are no data on weekends and holidays. There used to be a gap in axis but now by using Discrete scale type, there will be no such gaps and the data will look more cotinuous. This is the default setting for all plot types under Plot: Stock: menu.

If Discrete is set as scale type, plot shows discontinuity at weekends.

 

If dataset is set as scale type, missing data is not plotted and continuity preserves.

Add a Line option under Plot: Stock menu and the toolbar
If make line plot with Plot:Stock:Plot, x axis scale type is set to discrete by default.
