ChartArea Interface

Definition

Represents the chart area of a chart.

public interface class ChartArea
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.Guid("C75AD98A-74E9-49FE-8BF1-544839CC08A5")]
public interface ChartArea
type ChartArea = interface
Public Interface ChartArea
Attributes

Remarks

The chart area includes everything, including the plot area. However, the PlotArea object has its own formatting, so formatting the plot area does not format the chart area.

Use the ChartArea property to return the ChartArea object.
