How do I display a panel in a dashboard only if it contains data?

I'm creating a multi panel dashboard. At times it may be the case that there will be no data in the panel, such as a lack of an event that I am looking for. How can I supress that panel from being displayed in the dashboard so there are no big blank spaces within the dashboard.
Any suggestions?

ppablo is correct. By setting a depends attribute you can hide the panel until that criteria is met. I am currently using that method in our tabbed interface to hide dynamic drill down panels.

mm I'm not an XML expert, but I do remember seeing similar posts (that I can't find at the moment) on this topic and most of the time, using the depends panel attribute worked.

you can also use django bindings to make a much more advanced app which can be written in javascript and enables you to remove and add dashboards, panels and views.
