Public ReadOnly Property MapAreas As MapAreasCollection

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As Chart Dim value As MapAreasCollection   value = instance.MapAreas

public MapAreasCollection MapAreas {get;}

Return Value

A MapAreasCollection object.

Use this property at either design-time or run-time to add custom map areas to the chart. Custom map areas, unlike map areas that correspond to a chart element, have a user-defined shape and coordinates. For more information concerning map areas see the Client-Side Image Maps topic.

In order to use the chart as an image map the MapEnabled property of the root Chart must be true (which it is by default).

If you are rendering the chart as a binary stream then a special technique must be used to implement client-side image maps. See the  Binary Streaming and Image Maps topic for further details.
