Represents the plot area on a chart (the area where the chart data is plotted). Pie, Doughnut, Radar, and Polar charts do not have a plot area; instead, these charts draw directly on the chart area.

Using the ChPlotArea object

The ChChart object's PlotArea property returns a ChPlotArea object.

The following example fills the plot area of the first chart in Chartspace1 with a predefined texture.

Sub FormatPlotArea() Dim chConstants Set chConstants = ChartSpace1.Constants ' Set the interior fill of the plot area to a preset texture. ChartSpace1.Charts(0).PlotArea.Interior.SetTextured _ chConstants.chTextureParchment, chConstants.chTile End Sub
