#Remarks
The Series class implements general functionality common to all series classes derived from it. Instances of the Series class descendants are available in the SeriesCollection, returned by the Diagram.Series property.
Note that although series of different types can be represented together in this collection, not all series types are compatible with all diagram types.
Every series contains data points, which are either present in its Series.Points collection, or provided from a data source assigned to the Series.DataSource property, along with the Series.ArgumentDataMember and Series.ValueDataMember settings.
The types of series arguments and values are defined by the Series.ArgumentScaleType and Series.ValueScaleType property values.
Series labels are maintained by the Series.Label property, while the format of the text inside them is defined by the Series.PointOptions property settings. In addition, you can specify Series.LegendPointOptions, to determine how series points are identified in a chart's Legend, or completely hide a series from a legend by setting the Series.ShowInLegend property to false.
