Represents the chart area of a chart. The chart area on a 2-D chart contains the axes, the chart title, the axis titles, and the legend. The chart area on a 3-D chart contains the chart title and the legend; it doesn’t include the plot area (the area within the chart area where the data is plotted). For information about formatting the plot area, see the PlotArea object.
