Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ChartViewCollection | A ChartViewCollection that is a collection of ChartView objects. |
Remarks
Each chart has an associated ChartView. This object is created automatically when you create a chart. Chart views are stored in the ChartViewCollection collection, which the Views property returns.
A chart view consolidates series of the same type. A chart may contain several views of compatible types. A chart displays views of compatible types simultaneously.
Compatible types are listed below:
- ChartType.Area
- ChartType.AreaFullStacked
- ChartType.AreaStacked
- ChartType.BarClustered
- ChartType.BarFullStacked
- ChartType.BarStacked
- ChartType.ColumnClustered
- ChartType.ColumnFullStacked
- ChartType.ColumnStacked
- ChartType.Line
- ChartType.LineFullStacked
- ChartType.LineFullStackedMarker
- ChartType.LineMarker
- ChartType.LineStacked
- ChartType.LineStackedMarker
If a series of an incompatible type is added to the chart, chart views are re-created. The resulting chart contains only one view of the most recently added type.
Use the ChartView.Series.Add method to add a series of a particular type. The type of the added series is the same as the type of the view to which it is added (determined by the ChartView.ViewType).
