# max-data-points attribute

Type: | number
Inherited: | no
Used By: | areagraph, linegraph
Default: | 100
See: | function-smoothness

If you're plotting a datacurve, the maximum number of values to plot.
If your data set has thousands of values, you may set this and drop a few to speed things up (exactly which points are dropped are undefined, but the remaning data is guaranteed to be evenly spread across the graph).
