Connecting NULL points in Highstock charts - highcharts

Question

The API doesn't show a proper example how to use connectNulls property. I had a few attempts but no luck. Here is what I have:
Attempt 1:
plotOptions :
{
line: { connectNulls : true}
},
This results in: TypeError: Cannot read property 'x' of undefined
Attempt 2:
plotOptions :
{
series:
{
gapSize: null,
line: { connectNulls : true}
}
},
This doesn't give me any errors, so I assume this is closest to be the correct way, however nothing changes: the points from either side of null points are not connected.
Can anyone share a code snipped that shows the correct way of doing it?

Answer 1

The highcharts API has two examples for the connectNulls property: one for true, and one for false.
http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#series.connectNulls
The true example: http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/jquery/1.7.1/highslide-software/highcharts.com/tree/master/samples/highcharts/plotoptions/series-connectnulls-true/
A snippet from the true example:
plotOptions: {
series: {
connectNulls: true
}
},
The false example: http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/jquery/1.7.1/highslide-software/highcharts.com/tree/master/samples/highcharts/plotoptions/series-connectnulls-false/
A snippet from the false the example:
plotOptions: {
series: {
// connectNulls: false // by default
}
},
The default of false is a thoughtful choice, because when you connect values when there is no data, the results can lead to false assumptions on the part of the viewer of the chart.
UPDATE
Here's a Highstock example:
$(function() {
window.chart = new Highcharts.StockChart({
chart : {
renderTo : 'container'
},
rangeSelector : {
selected : 1
},
title : {
text : 'AAPL Stock Price'
},
series : [{
name : 'AAPL',
connectNulls: true,
data : [
