How it works

This sample shows how to use setSettings method, which is very helpful when you need soft update of chart settings only. When settings are updated data is not reloaded and settings are changed almost unnoticeably for chart viewer.

Note, that with this methods chart is updates instantly (unlike operations with object model) and the use of preserveSelectedRange parameter, which allows to keep current selected range.

Here we demonstrate how to set settings in JSON format, but there is an option do that in XML format, and it is shown in setSettings with XML .
