Charts are unique among all components in that you can access many Chart properties via both simple script properties and low-level Chart API methods.

For information on low-level Chart API methods, see the sections above. The API provides full control over all aspects of Chart data and presentation, but may yield more complex and verbose scripts.
For information on using simple scriptable Chart properties, see Chart. This approach produces scripts that are easier to read and maintain.

Note that scripted Charts are not good candidates for user-modification, so you should deselect ‘Enable Ad Hoc Editing’ in the Chart Properties dialog box.
