Remarks
The Add method creates a new chart sheet under the default name like ChartN, where N is a number that is greater by 1 than the maximum number used in chart sheet names of the same type. To change the chart sheet name, use the ChartSheet.Name property. Use the ChartSheet.Chart property to access a chart located on the chart sheet and specify its settings (select chart data and adjust the chart appearance).
To insert a new chart sheet to the specified position in the collection, use the ChartSheetCollection.Insert method.
To remove a chart sheet from the collection, use the ChartSheetCollection.Remove or ChartSheetCollection.RemoveAt method.
Example
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets["chartTask2"];
// Create an empty chart sheet of the specified type.
ChartSheet chartSheet = workbook.ChartSheets.Add(ChartType.BarFullStacked);
// Access a chart on the chart sheet.
ChartObject chart = chartSheet.Chart;
// Select chart data.
chart.SelectData(worksheet["B3:C8"], ChartDataDirection.Row);
// Display the chart title.
chart.Title.Visible = true;
chart.Title.SetReference(worksheet["B1"]);
// Change the legend position.
chart.Legend.Position = LegendPosition.Bottom;
// Hide the category axis.
chart.PrimaryAxes[0].Visible = false;
// Set the value axis' major unit.
chart.PrimaryAxes[1].MajorUnit = 0.2;
workbook.ChartSheets.ActiveChartSheet = chartSheet;
