A .NET chart is a visual representation of quantitative relational data that can be used in ActiveReports for.NET to enhance information analysis and interpretation. .NET Charts in ActiveReports are composed of elements, such as Axes, Series, Points, and Legends that bring meaning to the depicted information.

A chart series is the key to showing a chart. All data is plotted in a chart as a series and all charts contain at least one series. The bars in the image below depict two series in a simple bar chart.
