Chart area
The chart area is the place where all the drawing operations are performed (the graphical representations of the data themselves and the decorations).
Within the chart area component, you can distinguish two areas:
a drawing rectangle, where drawings are performed (both charts and scales).
All the drawings occurring in the chart area are clipped by this rectangle.
a plotting rectangle, the region where data is projected and displayed.
The bounds of this rectangle are computed according to the drawing rectangle and the internal margins of the chart area.
These areas are computed by the chart area component through a special layout manager, either automatically or according to the user's preferences. To manually modify the plotting rectangle bounds, you need to change one or several margins (left, right, top, or bottom) that are expressed relative to the drawing rectangle. See
Chart Components.
