|Tag||Gets or sets an object associated with this chart element. (Inherited from ChartElement.)|
|Visible||Gets or sets a value that indicates if a chart area is visible.|
|Dispose()||Releases the resources used by the ChartElement. (Inherited from ChartElement.)|
|Dispose(Boolean)||Releases the unmanaged resources used by the class and optionally releases the managed resources. (Overrides ChartElement.Dispose(Boolean).)|
|Equals||Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current ChartElement. (Inherited from ChartElement.)|
|Finalize||Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)|
|GetHashCode||Returns a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from ChartElement.)|
|GetSeriesDepth||Returns the depth of a Series in a chart area.|
|GetSeriesZPosition||Returns the Z position of a series, which is useful for custom drawing.|
|GetType||Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)|
|MemberwiseClone||Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)|
|RecalculateAxesScale||Recalculates the properties of the chart area after changes have been made to the chart in the Customize event.|
|ToString||Returns a string that represents the current Object. (Inherited from ChartElement.)|
|TransformPoints||Applies 3D transformations to an array of 3D points, which must be done before GDI+ drawing methods can be called.|
Within any given chart, the inner plot position is the rectangular area, inside the x and y-axis lines, where the data points are drawn. The plot position is the rectangular area that encompasses the inner plot position, the tick marks, and the axis labels. The chart area is the rectangular area that encompasses the plot position, the tick marks, the axis labels and the axis titles on the chart.
A chart area is represented by a class; objects are stored in the ChartAreaCollection class.
The number of chart series that can be plotted in a chart area is unlimited.
Uses one distinct inner plotting area.
Is used to plot one or more chart series.
Has primary and secondary x and y-axes, except for pie and doughnut chart types.
When you use Shape chart types, which includes pie, doughnut, funnel, pyramid, polar, and radar charts, the inner plotting position defines the size of the chart type shape. For example, when you increase the value of the InnerPlotPosition property on a pie chart, you will increase the radius of the pie shape.
For all other chart types, each chart area has two sets of X- and Y-axes, primary and secondary. To access properties related to these axes, use the AxisX, AxisX2, AxisY and AxisY2 properties. If you need to set a property that affects all axes on the chart, use the Axes property.
One or more series are associated with a chart area. The series has a ChartArea property that determines the chart area that each series belongs to. By default, the series is connected to the default chart area. To disable the display of a series, set the ChartArea property of that series to a zero-length string.
If another chart area is added to the chart, you can associate any series with the new chart area. In all Shape chart types, as well as bar and stacked bar chart types, each series must be plotted in a separate chart area. In all other chart types, multiple series can be combined in the same chart area.
A 3D chart is displayed on a chart area-by-chart area basis. You can use the Area3DStyle property to enable and customize your chart in 3D.
The chart area minimum and maximum will not be automatically recalculated if you add new data, so the chart will not automatically change axis sizes. You can require the chart area to recalculate these values by using the RecalculateAxesScale method.
To align multiple chart areas vertically, set the AlignmentOrientation property. To align multiple chart areas horizontally, you must first position the chart areas using the Position property, and then set the AlignmentOrientation property to Horizontal.
To suppress the display of a series, set the Series property of that series to a zero-length string.
