The Area is the space within a chart component where graphical elements of the chart are displayed. The settings for the area elements are grouped, with each group represented by a separate tab.
Depending on the chart type, the area type can be:
With axes – when the area includes X and Y axes. Examples: histogram, line chart, radar chart, etc.
Without axes – when the area does not contain X and Y axes. Examples: tree map, pie chart, donut chart, etc.
