OpenChart(100;150;400;250;on)

Description

OpenChart() makes it possible to position a chart precisely within a drawing or a view. By using the 5th argument isPlotArea, the arguments left, top, width and height either define the entire area incl. axes, title and legend (isPlotArea = off) or only the actual area of the graph (isPlotArea = on). For more information and examples, refer to Script Structure.

By using the argument clipFlag the clipping of the plot area can be controlled.
clipFlag = 0: Clip to the slightly enlarged plot area (this should avoid cutting off symbols or bubbles)
clipFlag = 1: Clip exactly to the plot area.
clipFlag = 2: Clip to the enclosing view.
