Remarks
Use the MaxAllowedPointCountInSeries property, to avoid an untidy chart when too much data is obtained from its associated Pivot Grid.
Note
If the Chart’s data source is not a Pivot Grid, trying to set this property causes a NotSupportedException, and the MaxAllowedPointCountInSeries property returns false, when trying to get its value.
To obtain both the actual and available number of series (e.g. to notify a user that the Chart has been cut), use the PivotGridSeriesExcludedEventArgs.ActualSeriesCount and PivotGridSeriesExcludedEventArgs.AvailableSeriesCount properties.
To limit the number of series, use the PivotGridDataSourceOptions.MaxAllowedSeriesCount property.
